My sincere sympathy to the children of Jose Tovar; John, James, Angela, Linda, Lulu, whom I've known a long time. Your mother was the greatest mom and treated me like a son. I remember those times when we went on an outing to Bastrop with your family and my family and your family was always so respectful to us. It made me happy to be with your family.May the angels keep her safe and may she rest in peace.

We will grieve here on earth, but think of the reunion Josie is having in Heaven....
Lena Silva (daughter of Jesse Silva & Epifania Carrizales Silva).
After my grandfather Juan Carrizales married my grandmother Francisca Aguilar, he brought her little sister Fidela to Texas to live with them and "help out". Mom was their first born followed by 4 (?) sons and then a girl plus 2 more sons. The Villanuevas were a big part of my childhood!

Firstly I would like to express my deepest condolences to the Tovar Family. Josie “Larry” Tovar, I was “Moe” as she so sweetly called me; we called each other the three stooges (John included was Curly), was not just my client but my friend. Josie and I became very close and she treated me like family, she was such a pleasure to work for and with. I will miss her dearly and will always have the memories of our talks, watching the “Pioneer Women” and eating conchas and having cups of coffee with breakfast. Josie will forever be in my heart and I will never forget her. I love you and I will see you again someday.
My Prayers are with the Tovar Family for God to give you Comfort and Strength at this time.
Love Always,
Elizabeth “Moe” Brooks
