Jim and family. I am so sorry for your loss of Juanita. She was a customer of mine at Paul´s Confectionery she was such a sweet lady that would give me hugs every time she came in. The whole group of ladies from the reserve would come for lunch. That´s how I got to know her then Jim would bring her in when he was home. I´m so glad I got to know her.
