Crime Stoppers - San Antonio
On June 8, 2011, Our brother's case was finally broadcasted on all news stations in San Antonio, Tx. asking for help in solving his murder case. Our family was overwhelmed re-living that day just hearing his name on TV, seeing his picture on TV, and looking at video clips of the scene on TV. Our mother had never seen the video of our brother being rolled out in a body bag before and seeing that broke her heart all over again. Hearing her cry like was heart breaking for us as well. We hope and pray, in the name of Jesus, that by broadcasting his murder on TV that it will help our family out with some closure as to who killed our ONLY brother. Please! Anyone... if you know or have heard anything, call or leave a tip. You don't have to leave your name. Just give what ever you may know or have heard. We are desperate for answers. Our parents don't have their ONLY son anymore. We hope and pray that who ever knows something, that they choose to do the right thing and make that call. Speak up, Say something! If this happend to you or your family, I know you would like to know and would want answers as well... We leave it all in God's hands. God will do...

Puerto Rico
On November 22, 2009, our father took some of Juny's ashes to be laid to rest in Guayanilla, Puerto Rico; along side with Our grand parents (Mami Selen & Papi Berna), great uncle-our dad's uncle (Tio Juan), and uncle-our dads little brother (Tio Tito). We all have some of Juny's ashes. Mom has her ashes at the house with her. Veri and I have our ashes with us as well. If any of you ever want to see our urns with our little brother's ashes, let us know. We have him with us always. Posted up! HAHA! He's always around us. Like he would be if he was still alive. Just like we liked it, too. INSEPARABLE!
SAKE
Sake DeVille Sierra was Juny & Karen's baby. She is a spoiled Pit. Juny would buy her burgers from McDonald's and buy her the best of everything. From food to her treats. Sake loved her mommy and daddy. She listened to Juny. Juny was another Ceasar Milan when it came to Sake. She would always get EXCITED (as Juny would say "She gets so CITED"). Ever since Juny's been gone, Sake has been adopted by "Titi-Sister". Sake has been living with Titi and Freddy along with her cousins Ebony (Rott-AKA-Grandma), Chingwy (Chihuahua) and Tuna (Cat). Titi and Freddy have been taking good care of Sake (AKA LUB-O) just like Juny & Karen would have been. She's loved by the whole family and she is well taken care of. She never misses a meal or treats. She thinks she's as light as a feather and is as small like a lap dog. She also thinks she's thin and can fit in small, tight areas. She is a character just like her daddy. Her own sense of humor. Juny, the whole family will love Sake and take good care of her for the rest of her doggy life! Titi shows her your picture all the time, so she can always see you... her daddy!
CRIME VICTIMS CEREMONY
Awareness Ribbons
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go, from that body to be free,
remember you're not going, you're coming here to me.
And I will always love you, from that land way up above,
Will be in touch again soon...
P.S. God sends His Love

Friends, family gather to celebrate life of murder victim
The guy many knew as "Juny" was rarely seen without a smile on his face. It was his infectious grin, boisterous laugh and caring personality that his friends and family said they'd miss the most.
An eclectic group gathered Wednesday evening at the Puente and Sons Funeral Chapel on Judson Road to pay respects to Evaristo Sierra Jr. The 31-year-old was found slain inside his Northeast Side home last week with a single gunshot wound to the back of his head. Sierra's murder devastated several people, but it's the manner in which he was killed that has so many friends confused.
"He was a real mellow dude," said Nika Williams, who was Sierra's friend for about seven years. "He wouldn't hurt a fly. He was a great guy and he touched a lot of people."
One by one people waited to offer their condolences to Sierra's family. Inside the small chapel stood his gray casket, which was draped in a colorful bouquet of flowers. Above the casket hung a monitor that played a photo slideshow, and a Puerto Rican flag representing the place of his birth. Several people at the memorial wore Chicago Bears jerseys and T-shirts to pay tribute to Sierra and his favorite football team.
"He was my favorite nephew and a big teddy bear," said his uncle Gilbert Tovar. "It's wonderful to see all these people here. And it's amazing that so many are showing their love by wearing (Chicago) Bears shirts."
Sierra was born in Puerto Rico and at a young age his family moved to San Antonio. He graduated from Roosevelt High School and was an offensive lineman on their 1995 state championship football team. Sierra's head football coach at Roosevelt, Bryan Dausin, still remembers his big smile.
"He was fun to be around and had a great personality," Dausin said. "He was very coachable and took football seriously. He was a great part of our program. It's so sad he lost his life so young."
Police have not made any arrests or issued any warrants in Sierra's death, but his father, Evaristo Sierra, Sr., said police told them they do have a couple of leads.
Sierra's wife was at work when she called her sister to check on him after she could not contact him. Sierra's sister-in-law found him shot dead at his home in the 12200 block of Maverick Bluff on the morning of Sept. 24. There were signs of a struggle and his home was ransacked, but authorities are still unsure what motivated the murder.
After a somber display of tears and a quiet moment of prayer, the parking lot and hallways broke out into a mass of smiles and laughter. People began to share stories about the good times they had with "Juny," and it's those memories that they'll keep forever.
"I'm going to miss him," the victim's father said as he held back tears. "He was a great kid. He was my best friend and my buddy and now he's gone. But I know he's smiling down on us."

Psalm 30:4-5
4 Sing the praises of the LORD, you his faithful people;
praise his holy name.
5 For his anger lasts only a moment,
but his favor lasts a lifetime;
weeping may stay for the night,
but rejoicing comes in the morning.
