Not sure what to say?

Tia, hoping that you are with your brothers and sisters and celebrating with grandma Susie and Great grandma Dolores. And especially with your beloved Arnold.

Tia, we not have seen each other in many , many years but I still remembered the last time you came to San Antonio. Rest in Peace with the Meras family in Heaven.

My heart ❤ goes out to my cousins. I love my Aunt even if I didn’t get to see her so often. We made a visit recently and she was still so sharp as we talked about all the family in Texas. I got to see her a few months ago and I was so happy to just spend a little time and talk about family events from years ago. Enjoyed our family trips together and I know she is with Uncle Arnold my mom and dad and they are all dancing in heaven ❤

What a wonderful life! Juanita certainly left a few positive marks on my life. One being married to one of the cousins, Margaret Tanner, I always will remember the get togethers in the back yard at the Westchester house with tons of family, friends, great food, and lots of coolers filled with beer! Hugs to all, very nice obituary.
