Quiroz Family: My heart is breaking for all of you in the loss of your mother/wife. I taught Home Ec in Broadus many years ago and had some of the Quiroz children in school One of the memories that I have is when “Dodie” was in boys Home Ec and he had taped the spray on the water faucet so that it would spray the next person who turned the water on, which was me!! I was one very “wet” and angry teacher, however this has been a highlight that I have recalled many times. I hope that this little tid bit of Dodie will lighten your sorrow at this time. Know that many people have your family in their thoughts and prayers at this sad time.
Andrea Hough Heyneman says

My sincere condolences to the family of Juanita Quiroz – May you find comfort in your loving memories, beautiful pictures and in recalling the many talents of Mrs. Quiroz. It was not God’s purpose that mankind suffer and die and God has promised that a time will come when no one will say “I am sick” (Isaiah 33:24). The Bible promises a resurrection of dear family members and friends that we have lost (John 5:28, 29). The Paradise that was purposed for the earth in the Garden of Eden will be fulfilled causing God’s “will to be done as in Heaven also upon Earth” (Matthew 6:9, 10). Please find comfort in Bible promises of a hopeful future (John 17:3).
