I was thinking about her today and remembering how she would check in and ask about someone if they had not posted lately. She was so kind, I really miss her. I googled her and saw her obit.

I am so sorry to hear, but became worried that something may have been amiss since she had not been active here for a time. It was not like her...but, also, so like her not to want to "burden" others. I will miss her encouraging words and poems.

What a special lady so sorry to hear of her passing. My heartfelt sympathy to her family. I hope her feathered friends will be well taken of. I will miss her poems and words of encouragement. She will be so missed on this site and Im sure by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing her.

I am so sorry to hear this. I knew Juanita from another forum, Cockatiel Cottage. She invited me to post here. After her illness, I hoped to see a post from her when I logged on here.

Lori, Thank you so much for posting this. And it is so recent. I also did not realize that she was in her 80's. I have missed her posts and will miss her. She did have my email address and contacted me shortly after I lost Lily. Such a loss. I hope her tiels are OK.

This is sad news. She will definitely be missed.

Did Juanita have family...

...to step up to care for Cinni and Michael?

She had a son, a Daughter, and a granddaughter, and other grandkids too, I believe. Her daughter and granddaughter were supposed to take care of the birds if anything ever happened to her. I hope they do.

I am hoping, also. She loved them so...

I am so sad to know of her passing. Share will definitely be missed here. Herbie was part of her butterfly army.

Lori, thank you for posting. I shouldn't be but I'm in total shock at the news.

She always worried about Cinni and little Michael with their blindness and often said that she hoped she'd never go before them. She was extremely tender and loving with them, especially Michael because of his not having a tail. I've missed her so much but I knew that something had to be going on.

We love you Juanita. Fly free, say high to Cara and Cody and all of your beloved animals from over the years. Thank you for helping me not lose my mind when I lost my Shiloh.

Cathy
