Families struggling to cope after mass shootings

Associated Press  

Some of the victims were old, some were young. In a statement to The New York Times, Juarez’s family said he had “lived the American dream.” Juarez’s family said he emigrated from Mexico and eventually became an American citizen. He said the couple had been together for about two decades and were “just really welcoming and friendly.” “Everybody says that as soon as you meet them, it’s like you’ve known them forever,” he said. MARGIE RECKARD: ‘AN ANGEL’ TO HUSBAND El Paso shooting victim Margie Reckard, 63, was “an angel” to Antonio Basco, her husband of more than two decades. She traveled to the Mexican consulate in El Paso on Monday to repatriate her husband’s body, and said he was known by everyone as friendly, calm — “very practical.” Adriana Manzano said she has told her children only that their father had died in an “accident,” believing that giving a full explanation might generate resentments.
