Irma Donez

Garcia

Irma Donez Garcia, 56, born in Harlingen, TX on January 5, 1968 grew up in Combes, TX and was 3rd of 5 children to Nacho and Julia Donez.

She graduated from Harlingen High School Class of '86 and was a Big Red Cardinal Band member.

Irma's love for her children kept her fighting till the pain and wear on her body became too much. She so loved her son, Julian Donez, (her favorite son) and her one and only daughter, Amber Donez and her youngest son, Benjamin Brown who helped her till the end, and loved him so much for it. She loved her one and only grandson, Ethaniel Donez. Irma wanted them to know that she was very proud of them and knew they will achieve everything in life that life has to offer.

A special thank you to Roy Garcia, thank you for the help you gave to Irma through the years.  A special thank you to Zulema Tristan, the world was so much brighter with you in it, I love you and am so grateful to have you in my life. A special thank you to Rudy Flores, may you be blessed for helping to the very end without hesitation. To Inez Izaguirre, my longtime friend, thank you for coming down from Chicago beforehand, I love you! To Mary Alice Tijerina, you kept your promise not only on the pact that we made about our brothers but you also kept it on our pact of getting old, you stood by my side till the very end, and I could have never asked for a better person to call my best friend, sister-in-law, and comadre. Sorry I broke my side of the pact, but you got Benjamin so we are even! To my love Scott Brown, you got this from here, have faith in yourself, and take care of Ben! I love you! To my relatives and friends, I love you!

A special request to everyone, get checked and rechecked. Don't let it slide. Cancer is a bitch to have!
