Our condolences to a very close friends MR and Mrs Tijerina and family , may your daughter Juanita Rest In Peace

I will always remain grateful for the many times you showed support for Blessed Sacrament School. Your daughter, Miranda, will carry on your legacy for the love of mankind and reading. You will forever be her hero as she matures into the beautiful young lady you have molded. I remember once telling you that I admired your courage and your free and beautiful spirit. Thank you for your kindness. I will forever hold you in my memory.

My deepest condolences to the Tijerina Family on the loss of Juanita. With supportive prayers for her eternal rest. Sister Christina M. Conroy, St. Augustine High School

My heartfelt condolences to Miranda and the rest of the Tijerina family. Juanita and I were teachers in South Laredo many years ago and I have fond memories of our adventures back then. We taught together during the day and at night at the alternative school-- we loaded up on junk food snacks and got through 14 hour days -- all while keeping a sense of humor. Even when I moved to NYC we kept in touch and she was a friend when I was diagnosed with cancer. We drew many parallels- --...

Juanita was a wonderful colleague, always straightforward. Someone I could always count on. May the Lord shine his perpetual light light upon her.
My deepest condolences to Miranda and her family.
