 The family of Miss Juanita Coleman is thankful for all the volunteers! Miss Juanita's son Johnny told us that the family was so appreciative to all the volunteers that came from all over the country to work on Mom's home. Besides all the complements they've had on the home, Mom was so grateful to be able to get back in her home after the tornado wrecked it. Miss Juanita passed quietly into eternity with our Lord with friends and family surrounding her in her home this past Monday (1/14/2013). She was 64. While building her home, I had the privilege of chatting with Miss Juanita on several occasions. It gives me great comfort to know that she knew Jesus and believe that she is with Him now! When I first met her, she seemed a bit leery of me; or maybe a more accurate description - skeptical of the "system". After disasters many survivors are made numerous empty promises, as if losing your life possessions, not to mention you witnessed a horrific event as a survivor, wasn't enough! Miss Juanita just wanted her home back and stressed that. She didn't care about new things, forget new windows and siding or appliances; she just wanted to be home. We're so thankful for all the volunteers that made that possible in what we know now were her last days here! And you can see from the picture below that she was all smiles when she got her home back! ~Monte  Miss Juanita with volunteer Herm Martin from Ft. Wayne, IN at her completed home blessing.
