Eva Mireles and Irma Garcia were loving mother’s, spouses, teachers and on May 24, they were heroes. Thank you Maggie Mireles and Velma Lisa Duran for treating me like familia and sharing these beautiful stories of your sisters ❤️

Maite Rodriguez, 10, loved curling up on the couch to watch scary movies with her mother. She’d snack on pickles and Takis. She was an “old soul” who loved the ocean. She dreamed of being a marine biologist. Her favorite color was green. expressnews.com/news/texas/art… Ana Rodriguez -

Lexi Rubio, 10, was sporty & smart. She loved playing softball & basketball & she wanted to be a lawyer someday. She loved bright colors, especially yellow. Lexi had a big sweet tooth. Her favorite ice cream flavor was mint chocolate chip. expressnews.com/news/texas/art… Kimberly Mata-Rubio




Rojelio Torres, 10, was his younger sister Mary’s protector. He loved playing football w/ his brother, Federico. He would climb trees w/ his big sister, Sara. He wanted to be a landscaper & to build his own house. And he loved Pokémon. expressnews.com/news/texas/art… Evadulia Orta

Irma Garcia, 48, & her husband Joe, 50, were high school sweethearts & devoted parents. They dreamed of retiring one day & opening their own food truck. Joe died of a heart attack two days after May 24. His family says it was a broken heart. expressnews.com/news/texas/art… Velma Lisa Duran

Eva Mireles, 44, loved CrossFit, running & biking. But it was hiking where she found peace & felt close to God. She was strong, independent & outgoing. She loved her husband, Ruben, and her daughter, Adalynn. expressnews.com/news/texas/art… Maggie Mireles Adalynn ✞💛 #evastrong
