On behalf of the RGC High School band, we’re so proud of their journey and can’t wait to see the legacy they leave behind this season. Let’s make this season one to remember, seniors!

1st. Year Anniversary In Loving Memory of

Maria Luisa Mendoza 09/30/1932 † 08/21/2024

Maria Luisa Mendoza (09/30/1932-08/21/2024) has been reunited with her husband: Felix Mendoza (1905-1971) Maria is survived by her 14 children (of which 2 are Marine veterans and 1 is an Army veteran) 30 grandchildren, 40 great grandchildren, and 8 great-great grandchildren.

Maria endured an exceptionally challenging life from childhood to adulthood which made her impressively strong.

She came from humble beginnings in Mexico, later moving to the United States as she worked as a migrant farm worker across the U.S. She often shared stories of her travels to

Henry Herrera, MD Gastroenterology

Wyoming where she and her family picked sugar beets.

Maria’s family was the first to establish the Santa Rosa community, often being the center of neighborhood gatherings.

She was highly respected and loved by her neighbors, and was always ready to lend a helping hand; Maria was a pillar of her community. She was not only the matriarch of the family but also a pivotal member of the Santa Rosa community.

Maria was an amazing cook, who especially enjoyed eating menudo and nopales, never shying away from a chance to feed all who would come through her kitchen door.

Her beloved shopping trips to Walmart never lasted short of 2 hours. It later became a running family joke how Maria would play hide-and-seek with whoever was picking her up so she could stay that much longer. When Maria was home, she was always ready to play Loteria.

Maria passed surrounded by her beloved family in Rio Grande City, TX. At this time we look to celebrate her beautiful life and carry on her legacy.

19th Anniversary In Loving Memory Of

Ramiro Omar (Rambo) Fuentes Feb. 4, 1984 † Aug. 19, 2006

Dr. Henry Herrera is proud to care for the digestive health needs of Starr County and the Rio Grande Valley. Board-certified in internal medicine and gastroenterology, he helps patients find relief from issues such as abdominal pain, heartburn, ulcers, diarrhea, constipation, inflammatory bowel disease, and gastrointestinal bleeding. He is also specially trained in advanced procedures, including endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), which allow for less invasive diagnosis and treatment. Dr. Herrera recently became the Clinical Research Director at the DHR Health Institute for Research and Development, where he works to bring innovative treatments and medical advancements to patients here in the Valley.

A Rio Grande Valley native raised in McAllen, Dr. Herrera is committed to bringing high-quality, compassionate care close to home. He earned his medical degree from The University of Texas Southwestern Medical School, completed his internal medicine residency at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, and his gastroenterology fellowship at Texas A&M Scott & White Memorial Hospital in Temple. Dr. Herrera takes the time to listen, explain, and tailor treatment to each patient, ensuring they feel informed, comfortable, and cared for every step of the way.

The Broken Chain We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone; for part of us went with you, the day God called you home.

You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide; and though we cannot see you, you are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same; but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

Rambo, We Love You!

CDC Launches New Campaign to Address Youth Substance Use and Mental Health

Area Code 956. Three numbers that mean more than just phone calls or maps. It’s home to me. It belongs to the Rio Grande Valley. The place that raised me and an identity I wear with pride. It’s the place that shaped me and planted my roots.

The Valley reaches across small towns and growing cities, families, friends, and communities with shared memories. It’s drives to McAllen for shopping with my mom, the smell of carne asadas with my family filling the air, and the annual traditions that are carried

in our own town that keep our culture alive year after year.

The Valley is where I learned to be proud and represent who I am.

It showed me that our heritage is something to celebrate, not to hide. That every sacrifice made before me was so I could dream bigger and carry our name forward. To outsiders, the Valley may look like another border region, but it is so much more than that. It’s a story that was written by generations before me so I can be in it.

There are over 300 area codes in this country, yet none will

ever come close to comparing with the 956. These three numbers built me. They gave a perspective I can’t wait to share.

Most importantly, it taught me the value of community and the strength that comes from where you come from.

I might be living in a different city, but my phone will always be in my area code. But no matter where I go, the valley will go with me. Because the 956 is more than an area code. It’s home.

“Teens may use alcohol and other substances to help them cope with stress, anxiety, and depression,” said Dr. Allison Arwady, Director of the CDC National Center for Injury Prevention and Control. “Talking openly about mental health and substance use, and knowing when to get professional help, is critical to helping teens stay healthy.

That’s why this campaign supports youth, parents, and caregivers in having those conversations early, before an issue arises.”
