Needie was a very special person, with a great big smile and a natural love for the lord. Growing up in our church (Ferry Field Baptist), she was very, very nice, always laughing & smiling, & very, very kind. I was very sad to hear of her passing, but I know that she is a child of GOD and that she is resting peacefully. Needie was truly one of our very own and she will be sadly missed.
Sincerely,
The Singleton, Wright, Frazier, Heyward, & Rivers Family of Johns Island, SC

Needie was a cheerful and loving person that always had encouraging words for everyone. She was a child of God and she portrayed that. Needie sang on the choir at Ferryfield Baptist Church for numerous years and she loved to sing. She visited our church a few sundays ago. I was so sorry that I didn't get a chance to talk to her but I knew she still had that sweet sweet spirit. Needie had been an inspiration in so many people lives and I know there is a special place in heaven for her. She will truly be misssed. May God give the family comfort and strength during their time of bereavement.

To the Richardson and Joyner family my prayers goes out to each and everyone of you. When I heard the news I could not believe it but God knows exactly what he is doing. It just seem like yesterday when she was in my wedding and we came to her house for the bridesmaids to try on their dresses. We had a wonderful time. Thank you Juanita for blessing our souls with your beautiful smile and love. We will truly miss you.

This still seems so unreal..... Most of us will always remember Needie's absolutely beautiful smile and great big hugs that seemed so genuine! I was blessed to receive each from her not very long ago as she worshipped with us one Sunday at Ferry Field Misionary Bapt.Church where she grew up. Needie exemplified her love for Christ through her relationship with everyone she came in contact with; what a testimony ! She lived for the day that she'd have to meet her maker.... Such a beautiful spirit! May the good Lord bless & strengthen this family!

To the Richardson family, I am deeply sorry to hear of your lost. Juantia and I first met when we worked in Home Health and the last time that I saw Juanita, she was visiting one of her patient's at the hospital, always with a caring spirit and a beautiful smile. Juanita has made the transition to her Heavenly Home. Her present will be missed.

To Juanita's family & friends,
We could not believe this wonderul spirit had left this side, though we know GOD had plans for her. She was such a caring, lovely person who will be missed on this side. Hold your head up and keep praying that we will meet her in heaven someday.
Here is a poem I am sure she would say in her own words...
Memories in the Heart
by Unknown Author
Feel no guilt in laughter, she knows how much you care
Feel no sorrow in a smile that she's not here to share
You cannot grieve forever, she would not want you to
She'd hope that you can carry on, the way you always do
So talk about the good times and the ways you showed you cared
The days you spent together, all the happiness you shared
Let memories surround you.
A word someone may say
Will suddenly recapture a time, an hour, a day
That brings her back as clearly as though she were still here
And fills you with the feelings that she is always near
For if you keep these moments, you will never be apart
And she will live forever locked safe within your heart...
God Bless the family, keep your hearts free by praying for one another.
She will always be in our heart.
Love,
Anthony, Denise, Corri, Nikki & Manni Scott

To The Joyner & Richardson families: Please accept my sincere condolences in the passing of our beloved sister. She will always be remembered for that sweet smile and personality. I can still see her and her sisters(Kathy-Val-Miriam) as little girls walking Old Pond Road with their late parents Emily and Marion. She will be missed but to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Rest on Juanita

To THE RICHARDSON and JOYNER FAMILY...my heart is very sad as Juanita was one of the most loving, kind and gentle students I had during my time at HAUT GAP MIDDLE SCHOOL. All of my years there were made easier and enjoyable because of the young people like Juanita as she always had a beautiful smile and helped in any way she could. We would all say that to have a daughter like her would make one proud. I know you are all sad and hurting but...Juanita has seen the FACE of OUR LORD what more can We want for Her and We shall all meet again one day. You are all in my prayers.

To the Family of "Needie",
This is one of those times when things seem so unreal. I know that Needie knew and love the Lord and now she's resting in perfect health with Him. Growing up in the community gave us a sense of security, peace, and love for one another. I pray that each day that your pain and grief will get lighter as you grow closer to the Lord and remember Needie's gentle demeanor. Love you all and praying for daily comfort.

To the Richardson and Joyner Families,
I am sorry to hear about your loss. Needie, as I knew her was a bubbly, but serious person in my eyes. I am happy we had a chance to talk about some of our trials and tribulations back in May as my sister reminded me of the date, because it's good to share some of life's experience whether good or bad with someone whom you feel you can trust. Some times in life we meet people and we are happy God send them our way. Needie was one of those person for me. We did not see each other a lot, but when we got an opportunity to engage in a conversation with each other, it was well worth our time. May God continue to wrap his loving arms around all of you at this time and know that each day will get a little easier to bare. Just remember she is not gone away, because she lives on in your hearts and minds.
With Deepest Sympathy,

I will never forget Needie smile,voice or her encouraging words to see me grow in the kingdom. It's unbelieveable I tell you but God makes no mistakes and he always takes the best.
To the Joyner and Richardson family, Im here for you guys and praying that God gives you all strength to move forward and I shall you with something that Needie told me years ago. Pray,Watch and Believe God can and will.
