Linda, and my husband Jimmy and I visited Juanita and Louise in Inglewood. She loved her son Derrick and grandson Derrick dearly. Juanita loved our sister Louise . She made sure she ate , took her medicine and took her play Lottery every week. Oh! How we will missed her smile. She has gone ahead where our mother Daisy ,Siblings, James and Larry are.
Rest In Peace my dear sister. We loved you, but God loved you best!
The class of 1962, Lincoln High School, Camden AR has lost a jewel. We always looked for Juanita and Louise to be present at the reunions, full of life, fun and friendship. Our hearts are broken, but no one can take away the precious memories we have shared together.
What a beautiful soul she was to me and my siblings. I appreciate how she was a loving grandmother to my youngest brother. She never missed a weekend picking him up and would always make sure when she dropped him off Sunday he had enough goodies to share with his siblings. She welcome my first born child as a great grand child at birth. Ms. Martin will be truly missed
Rest In Heaven Aunt Nita ~ We love you, great nephew Leonard III (Lil Len) and Angie
Sending my deepest condolences to her son Derrick and grandson Derrick. May you find comfort in the mighty word of our Lord and Savior. (She loved you all dearly)
Sending heartfelt condolences and prayers to her sister and our G-ma Louise. I hope beautiful memories of your sister help you through this difficult time ~ We love you, Grandson Leonard III (Lil Len) and Angie
I will greatly miss my dear sister Juanita especially talking on the phone about politics and her two favorite Soap Operas. We were a lot alike when it came to make up and earrings .She also was a great cook and especially liked collard greens and buffalo fish. I was looking forward to us meeting again in Camden for our Lincoln High School reunion but I guess it was not to be but we will have a great reunion one day, until then her memory will rest in my heart ❤️
I will miss our conversations together.
Always had a smile on her face.
Love 💕 and miss you.
I will miss my sister. I was waiting for the Lincoln High School Reunion so we could hang out and look at the areas that we remembered while growing up in Camden and at the end of the day coming back to the hotel and her telling Louise and Linda that they could not go to bed until I rolled my hair. She only leaves good memories behind.
