You have my deepest condolences. May the love of family, friends, and Almighty God comfort you during your time of grief and afterward. (Ps. 83:18; Isa. 41:10) May the hope of a resurrection on a restored earth bring you peace. (Acts 24:15; Psalm 37:11, 29)

To the family and friends of the deceased,
Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss. Many have found true comfort from the pages of God's word the Bible (2 Corinthians 1:3-5}. The Bible tells us why we die (Genesis 2:16, 17; Romans 5:12) the condition of the dead (Ecclesiastes 9:5) and that we can be reunited with our loved ones (Acts 24:15). The Bible also tells us where this happy event will take place (Psalm 37:29; 115:16). At John 17:3 Jesus tells us the benefit of reading and studying the Bible. He also said at John 8:32 that "the truth will set you free". Please visit JW.org to learn what the Bible really teaches.

I am sorry to hear of the loss of your loved one. It is so comforting that in the Bible at Revelation 21:3-4 Jehovah God promises a time when sickness and death will be no more. Also at John 5:28 & 29 shows that the dead will live again. They will be raised from the memorial tombs here on earth. Hope this helps some during this difficult time.

This was comfort for me during a time when I lost a loved one. https://www.jw.org/finder?docid=1102015147&wtlocale=E&srcid=share

To the Johnson family I offer my condolences for the loss of your dear love one. The Bible promise that very soon death will be no more.(Rev. 21:3,4). Until that time we must all persevere in prayer, because God feels our pain. (1 Thess.5:17) and 1 Peter 5: 7). Please find comfort in these scriptures.

Thank you, Dr. Johnson for giving me the opportunity to begin my career as the Discovery teacher at Chesnut Elementary. Also, the trip to New Orleans, with the students and you, will always be a cherished memory. To the family, your mother's eternal flame will live with many of us who got to spend time with her.

My deepest condolences for the loss of Juanesta. I can recall meeting her for the first time in 1974 at the AU Center while working on her doctoral degree. Her class and grace exuded everything that she did and stood for. Her accomplishments in the DeKalb County schools were priceless.
May God continue to keep you and your family in the palms of His hands during this time.
Prayerfully yours,

Joanne L. Newby

The PEARLS will miss the intelligence, the humor, and the hard work of Juanesta Johnson. We have witnessed her love for her family, and some of us were even around in DeKalb County to witness her dedication to the public school system. She has left a positive impression on the world. She will not be forgotten.
I am keeping all of the family in my prayers, and I am confident that Our Lord has welcomed Juanesta home. That same loving God will provide comfort to all of us who grieve her passing.
With deepest sympathy,
Akiba Harper
