Juanita Garza was born on June 9, 1938 and doctors told her parents she would be a burden and recommended institutionalizing her due to her physical limitations. However, her parents decided to care for her at home, underestimating the power of their love for her. God then blessed Juanita with many siblings who continued her parents' legacy of love. She brought joy to her family through her laughter, love of music and dance, and by demanding hugs from her siblings.
