Our condolences to the Garcia family. We remember Mrs. Garcia as a loving and caring person. Jerry loved to hear her talk because it reminded him of his Grandma from Denver. May the memories of your mother live on within your hearts. God bless you all.

Phil & all the Garcia family, our deepest sympathies go out to you during this time of sorrow. God gives us all the gift of life, what we make of our life, is our gift to God. Your mothers' love seemed to touch so many others. What a wonderful blessing to leave behind, with those she touched.

We thank God for technology and the opportunity to send our condolences by signing this book on-line to our dearest friends, the Garcia family. We will always carry wonderful memories of Mrs. Garcia from our younger days when she was like a mom to us too as we shared our teenage years with Carlos, Philip and Viola. We love you all very much and we share in the lose of your mom. May you find comfort in knowing that she's not gone but even closer now to you through the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ. She just goes ahead to prepare a new and everlasting home for all of you. You'll be united again in the promise of Christ where you'll never be separated again. Please know that our prayers, our thoughts and our love are always with you. We wish we could be with you now but we carry you in our hearts; the place you occupy in our lives until we too are united again.
May the peace of Jesus Christ be with all of you now and forever!
