    Juanita was one in a million. The Mock family and the cousin Moose families grew up as very close friends. She was such a wonderful part of everything she became a part of and an influence to be remembered. We loved her and her family like a part of our own. Rest well in the presence of Jesus dear friend, as you wait for us.
