Manuela Posada Reyes, a radiant beacon of love and resilience, left this world on July 25, 2026. Born on January 24, 1957, in Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico, she carried the rich tapestry of her heritage throughout her life, weaving it into the lives of those around her. Manuela, a woman of great strength and spirit, personified the words of Gabriel García Márquez, "What matters in life is not what happens to you but what you remember and how you remember it." Manuela was a deeply devoted woman, with a heart that knew no bounds. She found her home in Killeen, Texas, where she cultivated a life filled with joy, warmth, and an enduring sense of community. Her legacy is carried forward by her beloved daughter, Anita Reyes, who embodies her mother's unwavering strength and passion for life. Manuela was a source of unending support, a guiding light that shone brightly in the lives of those she loved. She was preceded in her journey by her caring parents, Jesus and Maria Lopez, who instilled in her the values of love, respect, and resilience that she so beautifully personified. Manuela's story is one that transcends time and place. Her life, like a beautiful tapestry, is woven with threads of love, courage, and resilience that will forever shimmer in the hearts of those who knew her. As we remember her, we are reminded of the words of Octavio Paz, "Love is born at first sight; the friendship of frequent and lengthy conversation."
