I know this is years later but I feel the need to say a few things . I have been thinking about you so much lately . I wish you were here . it hurts me that we lost you at such a young age ,, therefor I bearly remember most things about you except from what family has told me speaking of I was only 5 at the time of your passing . I know you are up to great things where you are now . I now realize that you are in a better place . which it took me so long to understand . I wonder how life would be today ,, 11 years later ,, if you were still with us physically . but I know that you are still with me spiritually everyday . I love you so much . love ,, your little sister .

My first impressions of Juwan were that he was such a nice boy, and a great big brother to SheTerria. I know he will be missed, and our thoughts are with you and your family at this time.

I read about your sons death in the paper this morning and almost instantly I recalled the day that our Brianna passed away from an asthma attack. No one could of thought for one minute that at age nine she would of been taken away from us. I can honestly say that my family and I know how you feel and that the grief is overwhelming. You will never fully recover from this blow, but, i I will tell you that you become more accepting to the fact that you know that that he is in a better place. Our prayers are with all of you, and when you are ready, there is an amazing organization that helped us through the hard times called "MargretAnns Place". Your faith WILL get you through this.

Words are inadequate to express our sorrow for your loss. The first time we met Juwan was at his baptism. We could feel a special spirit from him and knew that he was close to the Lord. Our daughter was in Primary with him and says that Juwan has a great smile. She liked the way he always wanted to say the prayer in Primary. She will miss him in Primary. We all loved Juwan's smile and great personality. You are in our prayers.With love,Rob, Kira, Jenna, and Jaci Zemenchik

From the first time I met Juwan he made me smile. He was funny and enthusiastic and so full of love for his Heavenly Father. He brought so much life to our Primary and we will miss him deeply. Although we will continue to feel his loss here on Earth I know that Heaven got a lot brighter and more beautiful when Juwan arrived. You are in my prayers continually.Love, Julie Johnson
