Through the years we have lost touch with each other and distance.
I am Jane Cameron Abadilla, first cousin of “Nita”. For a time in our youth her family and my mom plus two sisters lived at granddaddy Mills house on the hill.
We had so much fun a d lived one another so much. I wish I could be there.
I will always remember her as a giggly little girl, highly active and laughing. Even though she was seven years my junior.
Rest in peace Juanita. I will never forget those years with all of us together.
