Area teacher receives new life following procedure in Harlingen

HARLINGEN – The recent holidays could have been much different for Mission’s Rene and Veronica Longoria.

It was just a few years ago when Veronica and some doctors weren’t sure whether Rene would survive a brain aneurysm that left him in an induced coma and in the hospital for weeks. Or, if he did survive, there were questions whether he would be able to function normally ever again.
