'All our love to Sister Bertha and the Garcia Family. Pastor Garcia's memory will always be in our hearts. 
One of our favorite memories is the times Pastor Garcia would come around shaking hands and smiling and welcoming us to church. He made us feel blessed, special, and good inside. 
Once at a baby shower I overheard him telling someone that he really liked the greenbean casserole he was eating. It was the dish I brought that evening. I felt so good knowing that my pastor was enjoying it. 
Our 35 years there have always been a blessing at Sendero De La Cruz. God Bless you.'

'I was so sad to hear about Brother Garcia. I will always remember his smile and his jaunty walk. He was a man who always had time to talk to you about the Lord or just chat about life. He and Sister Bertha were two of the most people I admired. I remember my father and Brother Garcia could laugh for hours about things. 
Even though I haven't seen him in years. He holds a special place in my heart. Condolences to the whole Garcia family and the Sendero congregation.'

'Saddened to hear of Pastor Garcias passing. He was an extraordinary Christian man whom I will always remember, for under his ministry he led me to the Lord 40 years ago and forever changed my life. When the roll is called up yonder we will meet again. Raul Borrayo & Family'

'my prayers and thougths to sis.bertha Garcia and my bros in Christ Randy and Roy Garcia.pastor Garcia was a strong and anointed man of God.He was a beautiful person inside and out.I will dearly miss him.Pastor Garcia I will not say good bye but I will say until we meet again.Well done good and faithfull servant.'

'My prayers and blessings to the Garcia Family. Pastors Raul, Roy, and Randy played a major role in my calling into full-time ministry -- a calling I am embrace to this day. It is with great regret I cannot attend the memorial services, so I send my love and gratefulness to all. --Vincent Duran'

'Dear Sister Bertha and Family: 
On behalf of my family and I, we extend our most sincerest sympathy. Through the ministry of Pastor Raul and Sister Bertha, I received a very strong biblical foundation and encouraging spiritual guidance. The remembrance of Pastor Garcia baptizing and praying for me is a very fond memory. My family and I will always cherish the moments of conversation in which Pastor Garcia would always share a testimony about how God had blessed someone in the congregation; an idea for a new project for church or mission outreach; and his ardent love for the Lord. We will miss him, and our prayers, love, and thoughts are with you. --Sister Enriqueta Baez Aguilar and Family'

'I offer my heartfelt condolences to the Garcia family at this very sad time. For even with the blessed assurance of future reunions, goodbye's are sad. I have only met Pastor Garcia a few times. But I know much of him by reputation, and by testimony of his son Roy, my rabbi. I know that Rabbi Roy is the man that he is because his father was the man that he was. So I count myself among the countless thousands who have been blessed by Pastor Raul Garcia, a righteous man indeed. May his memory be a blessing forever!'

'I can't be there in person but my prayers are with the family and congregation. My mom was with this church from the beginning and to the end of her days.'

'My mom was saved under preaching of Pastor Garcia on Huisache Street and my sister was saved under the preaching of Pastor Randy and I was saved under the ministry of Pastor Roy. What a rich heritage. I remember in order to get a good seat on a regular service, we would have to go early or we we sit on the balcony and park in the adjacent parking lot. The dramas were great productions with Sis Jeanette and Sis Madi. There was standing room only. What a great legacy. He will be missed. My mom and sisters send our best. Mary Ann Rodriguez'

'Garcia Family , at this time of separation from Bro. Raul know that our prayers are with you. we loved Bro Garcia and pray that God will console you with the assurance that he is with the Lord forevermore.'

'Brother Garcia will forever be in my memory. He and Bertha are some of the most wonderful people I have known. Their lives have touched so many people. I will always remember his phone calls always starting out with "Sister Pat". He will be greatly missed but his works will live on forever.

Pat Strandberg'
