Tio, Primas & Primos,
Allow me to offer my most sincere condolences on the passing of my Tia Gloria. I will always remember her for her great sense of humor, her ever present candor and her desire to make sure we were well fed during our Christmas visits to the home in Ajo. And now after seeing her battle this illness that took her life, I must add “extraordinary courage” to her list of virtues.
May the Lord now comfort all of you, as you grieve the passing of your wonderful wife, mother and grandmother!
Respectfully!
Augie Garcia
