Another year passes without you in it, Juanita. You left us way too early. The only consolation is that we will one day be reunited, to part no more. Thinking of you on what would’ve been your 53rd birthday. Continue to rejoice in God’s presence.

~ Aunty Sola

Never to be forgotten. Sweet gracious Juanita

Juani, I really miss you so much. Your exit from this world is a big lost to a lot of us, your friends and family. Keep resting until we meet at Jesus Christ feet to part no more. Amen.

Continue to rest in the peace of God my dear friend Juanita “Wanita” During. We still miss you.

Darling Juanita,
I can’t believe it’s been 11 years already. I remember getting that dreaded phone call in the wee hours of the night… it seems like yesterday, and an eternity all at the same time.

You are greatly loved and sorely missed, Juanita. Somehow this world has not been the same without you in it. Continue to rest in peace.

Till we meet again to part no more.

~ Aunty Sola

Remembering you today ... and everyday!

Remembering you today, Juanita. You would’ve celebrated your 52nd birthday. You are greatly loved and still so missed. Nothing will ever fill the void, but with great anticipation I know we will be reunited one day. Love you so much.
~ Aunty Sola

Happy birthday Konka.
Hugs from me to you and mommy. 

Truly forever missed but grateful our path crossed

Been thinking about you everyday for weeks.  Has it really been 10 years already? I woke up with a heavy heart today. Yes I remember your loud laughter, dimply cheeks and sing-song voice. But I also remember our last few days together in New York City, having so much fun. Wish I knew it would be our last...on this side of eternity. I am glad we acted so silly and ate too much and goofed around the Statue of Liberty like little girls. I am so thankful that when we fell out briefly in 2010, I got up at 5am on my wedding day and sent you an email and we made up. I am so glad we only got closer and were in touch until your very last moment. That we spoke just the day before and you sent me a text and left me a voicemail before you were suddenly gone. I miss you my friend. The world misses the one and only Juanita During. Look forward to skipping around again like little girls for all eternity. Much, much love mon amie!

Another year gone by since you left this world ... yet memories of you and time spent with you have not lost color or vividness. You remain precious in my heart. Hugs to you and mommy .

10 years today, Juanita, you left your earthly body and traded it for a glorified one. Not a day goes by that I do not think of you and miss you. Till we meet again to part no more, I carry you in my heart and remember you always.
With much love,
~ Aunty Sola

Konka... Your birthday is a special day in my life... and so you are never far from my thoughts. Cheers to another happy birthday in heaven!

Konka... So many years gone by yet I still have so many 'I wish' moments. I wear "your" scarf almost every day and it reminds me of you.

Indeed, you are forever missed my darling Juanita. I remember you today and carry you in my heart. I love you eternally.
~ Aunty Sho-ee-lah.

Juanita ... I often wonder how much more you would have accomplished in your mission to improve the world for women ...for everyone. Still... I thank God that you went about your mission head on... and you lit the flame in so many people who will/have continue(d) the cause.

Konka! Another birthday without you! I still feel sad about all the times we missed getting together... thinking we had "next time "...

My precious, precious niece - Juanita Were you here with us, we’d be rocking your 50th birthday today. But I know there is a greater celebration in heaven where you are. I miss you everyday, Juanita. I carry you, and my memories of you in my heart. Happy birthday in heaven.

Rest in Peace sweet sister

Just a couple of days ago, i came across an old picture we took together when we unexpectedly rediscovered each other in London 25yrs ago. So glad we did. So thankful for all the precious times and memories together. Lagos.....Abuja...London....New York City . All over the world ....your joyful song and laughter is still ringing in our ears . The wound created in our hearts when you suddenly departed 8yrs ago, has slowly been transformed into a beautiful garden of remembrance. Thanks for leaving so many flowers behind my precious friend;)

Not a day goes by.....
But it is well.
I think of you always.
You'd have had a lot to say about this COVID thing.
Can just imagine.
Na wa!

Dear Juanita.how time flies,8 years gone ,but not forgotten. Always in my heart
❤ God knows best,we can't question him.
May your soul continue to rest in Peace ✌. Till we meet again. SLEEP ON dearest 

Juanita...it sure does not feel like you've been gone 8 years! You are never far from my mind...but not being able to exchange text messages makes it real. I often wonder what you would be doing to fight the COVID-19 pandemic... because I have no doubt you will be engaged. I'm glad for all the pictures shared by friends and family because seeing your face makes me focus on happy times. I thank God for the blessing you still are to this world!

Juanita... it’s been 8 years since you left us. I can safely say not a day goes by that I do not think of you. I carry you in my heart always and I miss you fiercely. I love you. ❤️
~ Aunty Ṣọlá

Konka dear...you've been on my mind and I've been talking about you a lot these past few weeks. I miss you❣A lot❣
❤

Forever Loved, Forever Missed till Resurrection Morning!
Aunty K, now Aunty Mo!

Juanita will always remain in my memory for her gentle, intelligent and passionate life towards people. Rest on Juanita.

Happiest of birthday in heaven sis. Continue to rest in the Lord. We all just miss you!

RIP Dearest Sister. GOD has called you to a better place.

Something about you that is hard to put into words.....sister dearest.....always on my mind..
Xoxo

Juani. Still speechless. The only thing that helps numb the pain is the fact that you’d always worked, lived away from home and in my mind, you’re just in another city of this great big world, doing what you do best, impact lives!
I love you, unendingly!
Aunty K

Anyawu Otutu!

Passing by, thinking of you and wanted to say hello! Still miss you!! Rest on, Rest!!!

BFF, happy birthday my sweet friend - love truly never dies ;-)

Happy birthday, Angel. Keep watching over us.

FUN MEMORIES OF YOU IS ALWAYS ON OUR MIND. SWEET ANGEL JUANITA

It's your 5th year in eternity . Happy birthday precious friend. Much love.

Joyeux anniversaire Juanita, le temps passe mais ton souvenir reste vivant...

Juanita! The last time I saw you in a dream, you were very busy "getting on with your duties" and wondering why we weren't doing the same. You're a living and loving memory of one who did it all in a very short time. Nearly 35,000 views and hundreds of comments in 4 years testifies of that:-)                        The inspiration that was your earthly life lives on....You are deeply missed.

Four years already?
I think of you everyday. ... Yes, you'll always be in our hearts. Love you, my wise sister.

Juani Juani
keep up the laughter and joy in heaven. Your memory lives on...........

Those We Love Don't go Away. They Walk Besides us Everyday.

4 years! So much has happened. Continue to rest in the Lord, Juanny. Not sure what to say at this point. The years are counting. You are missed, my friend and sister.
I wrote "the book", eventually. Remember when you would hound me to " just start"? Well, I did and it is doing good in sales. It is dedicated to mummy and to you.
It is well. Love you both

Dear Sis, thoughts of you is filled with gladness and gratitude to GOD for sending an Angel like you our way. Your sweet laughter ( that's is so infectious) and smiles brightens a dark room or sad face. You are celebrated both in Heaven and Earth.

Her memory is as dear today......as in the hour she passed away. you will always be in our hearts....... Juanita

Juanny girl,
Thoughts of you always flood my head and I can't believe it's four years already! I still read my last text to you this morning and it surely does not feel like four years.
In my mind, you are still our very own "Oprah"
Big kisses, hugs and of course love always!
Dupsy

Juanny - guess what. Shortly after my last tribute to you, my team changed directors and the lady that too the position has the loudest, most infectious laugh that you could ever imagine! You can hear her laugh way across the hallway. Every time she laughs, which is almost always, I think of you and I just beam! How cool is that?! Rest in peace my friend.
Hugs, Dupsy

Juanny girl - all the emails we exchanged seemed like yesterday. I could not hold back the smiles and tears of joy as I looked through them last night. Your incredibly infectious and loud laugh - that can only come from you my friend :)
I remember how we brought the house down in Dubai that karaoke night - what joy, laughter and enthusiasm we shared. You are always in my heart my sweet friend.... mmuahh till we meet again.
Love, Dupsy

Konka!! We are planning a class reunion and you won't be there! It's all still so unreal! It won't be the same without you.

Juanny Love, Happy Birthday my friend! Miss your physical presence but I know you are forever near... Vivs can testify even if she won't admit it :-)
Lots and lots of love.
Dupsy

Unforgettable. Always in my mind...Juanita!
