Maria Carmen Juarez

It seems like yesterday, but I can’t believe we were here just 1 1/2 years ago with my sister Rosey but she was Nena to us. But today we are here for my sister Carmen, Carmen was a daughter, sister, aunt, godmother, friend, baker, cook, family photographer, and the party planner. She was a mother figure to a lot of students at Hidalgo high school. Just like Rosey they both loved the Pirates, once a Pirate always a Pirate. Like my niece Celina said on her post Carmen was the GLUE TO THE FAMILY she would never forgot her nieces and nephews or her sisters and brothers birthday, there was always a cake or a post on her facebook page. Not to say the least but for AMA on her birthday she would texts the FAMILY that she was having a little party for us to come HOME. There is so much much more I can say, but you know what kind of person she was. Carmen had a HEART OF GOLD and a soul that shone brightly. She was a beacon of love, joy, and togetherness for all of us. What are we going to do without you Carmen. I Love You, I will miss you till we see each other again

Survived with deep sorrow by her mother, Celina Roa Ibarra; five siblings, Jose Luis (Marta) Juarez, Janie (Max) Juarez, Camelia Juarez, Dolores Juarez, Alicia (Joel) Juarez; eleven nieces and nephews, Joey, Alexis, Anthony, Celina, Heliodoro, Alicia, Eduardo, Agustus, Crystal, Joel Jr., Pedro; many more family and friends.
