I was Blessed to be raised by so many strong smart women and one of them is my New Angel my aunt Julia. I would like to thank my aunt for always being there for everyone and for always being there as big sister and friend to my mom Alice. I want to Thank her for showing me Gods way as a child and helping me in guiding me for me to complete my first communion. A memory I wont forget, it was then as a child I saw my aunt so loving and caring and most of all would stick up for everyone and anyone. I loved going through my cousins room and running to my aunt when she got home. Loved using the house as adventures as a kid and family time and holidays were always fun. For this I know my aunt is and will be dancing with her husband and with her contagious laughter we will be hearing from down here. I hope to see you again and know that you wont be far and pray the hurt of you gone comes easier with time but your memories and love will never be forgotten. We love you and the family will always be in our prayers!

Cousin Julia, you will be missed. I did not spend a lot of time with Julia as I was growing up in San Antonio. But I got to know and admire Julia and Gilbert when we all worked on our Fuentes family reunion in 1992. Both of them were kind, generous & loving. They spent much time and effort to create a memorable reunion that was a wonderful day for the extended Fuentes family to gather and share stories of our loved ones. My condolences to Julia's family and friends.
