Taneisha I love you and Stacy I am so sorry for your lost. I hope God will bless you one day Stacy. I hope you can go to the billings library on Fridays because sometimes I go to there.
And tell Anna I miss her. Please!
Stacy says
O my Goodness~Juanita I miss you and Maria so so much you don’t know how much you made my day, I cried tears of joy, I think about you both often and tried to get you two home for Neisha’s memorial however the judge denied me the visit as I was not a parent and so I gave your mom your shawls and also you and Maria’s t’shirts they have Neisha’s picture on them. I love you girls so very much don’t ever forget that and even though we may not get to see one another at all, we will find a way. You know I will do my very best to get to the library. I am working with social services at the BIA now and get off at 4:30. My home number is 477-3052 if you have access to call. Call me if you can~I love you my beautiful niece tell Maria the same~you made my mother’s day.
