I will be there in spirit, Sal, just as I have been from the beginning.

Mulegena - 9-25-2012 at 04:45 AM

I'll be there in spirit, too, in support of you and Juanita's memory. Thoughts of her good life and adventurous spirit which brought her to love Baja so much will draw her close to you in celebration and will keep her memory dear to those who love her.
In peace, Maria

So I missed you also.So glad you are healing and still my D!!Thanks Mulegena, you have been a source of comfort for me thru this last year.I miss her too Woody!My house is full of her art and things that she has given me , and when we bought this house, she was hired to paint, remodel, drywall, etc, while she and her daughter lived with us.Totally surrounded by her talent and spirit. We will have an awsome celebration this Saturday for an amazing soul.There will be pics but probably on FB. If you want to "friend" me, you can view them. Abrazos, Sally

There is much to celebrate in the Life of Juanita; I hope your heart is healing Sally, and that smiles now join your tears when you think of her. I know that you know that she will always be with you.
As You know, I am far, far away in the South, but I too will be with you in Spirit this Saturday.

Sally dear - echoing the sentiments of others - Juanitas spirit is strong amongst those she loved and those who loved her - whether we had the blessing of knowing her ... directly, or indirectly ...

Sending all good thoughts and all best wishses ~ Tommy & Lori Garcia

Hello all dear Nomads. It has been SO MANY YEARS since I have been blessed with the 'Nomad Spirit' and company. I will be making up for that though, hopefully, starting today.
I'm not sure if I know Juanita or not, but I live 14 miles from Laguna; Please keep a list going on who will be coming,anfd a shout out if you remember me.
I don't get out much now, I have a major 2 day surgery on my back in November and I pay for it BIG time when I move around too much.
Seeing some old friends, and showing respect to another Baja Babe is worth EVERY BIT of what punishment my body will dole out.
Please, keep this info rolling in, I WOULD LOVE SOME NOMAD HUGS!!! DESPERATE FOR SOME ACTUALLY.
See my thread at the top for explanations.

BIG HUGS,
'M', Michelle, 'Pluma' or 'Feather', 'b-tch'. Pick one, but say it with a smile.:tumble:

M, you may have met Juanita at one of my Viva Baja parties, she attended at least one.

Our celebration was wonderful! I thought about you Eli, and thank you Lori for all your sweetness also! There were no Nomads present.It was family(huge!) and close friends of Nitas.I scattered hundreds of Plumeria blossoms and placed tea lites in the middles, we had an open mike and the beautiful rememberances just started flowing.Even my Dad got up and spoke(he's 89!).I had prepared what I wanted to say but it never came out! All the qualiy time spent with her was what I told about, and it was a beautiful tribute to a wonderful soul.Next sping we will all be going to Juncalito to spread her ashes.It will be another epic family affair.Thank for all the love Nomads. Abrazos, sally

Praise be Sally that You got to know the kind of Love you have for Juanita. I am sure you have found the symbols that bring her Spirit to Your side, and that you can evoke her when ever you need to smile, o.k., with a few tear drops, but I hope at least that they taste sweet.
