I'll remember your sweet voice when you'd answer the phone and say "Hello."  Your warm hugs, the weekends at your house with popcorn from your popcorn maker, strawberry milkshakes, and as Pete reminded me, watching Johnny Carson. :)  The tiny antique perfume bottles you once gave me, the letters we would write to one another, and how you always could make me feel better with advice, poems, laughter,  and prayer.  I Love You.

You was beautiful,amazing,strong,sassy,fearless, fighter woman. I have so many memories of you when I was little and until now. I knew this day would come but I hoped and pray and wished it wouldn't but now that it's here.  Now it time to figure out how to go on without you. I remember going to the lake and swimming to see your smile and your feeling your warm hugs. Then going to alpine and spending summer and holidays there waking up and help you make breakfast and cookies. At times we would just set and talk or watch your shows. Then going to big bend to look at the marfa lights. Then when my dad passed away and you and grandpa came to Houston there was time we didn't talk you would just set there, hold my hand and tell me everything will be ok. You was always strong for everybody and put a smile on no matter how hard it was. Then when you moved to burnet and every time I go over there the minute I walk in I saw your smile what every going on in my life will just melt a way from my mind. Then you would ask me to give you a another cup of coffee knew you had two cups and I will ask you how many have you had and you would said one but in reality you had two. I always knew you had more they one and I will tell you that I will get in trouble but you will tell me I wouldn't so there I go to the kitchen to make a another cup of coffee. Evan the older you got you was always sassy and you would be fighting with us and made faces to us. I always remember the amazing and fun times I had with you and the ones that were hard to go on. I will always have you smile and the memory in my mind.  Every time I think about you that will always bring a smile to me and a warm feeling to my heart. I knew life will never be the same but I knew you are in heaven happy and healthy and with everyone that we have ever lost in our life. I was so grateful and blessed to have you as my grandma. This is not goodbye but just see you later. I love you so much and going to miss you like crazy. 

I am going to miss you sweet Mother in law.  I have beautiful memories of when I took the AM shift when you were at Cotton Creek Rehab facility.  The breakfasts from McDonald’s your sausage egg McMuffin with no cheese and don’t let me forget your coffee.  Than how we would hold hands watching Gunsmoke.  You will be in my heart forever and I will always love you.   Not Goodbye but see you later.

To my Grandma, 

A solid part of my childhood was us taking care of each other, from us  swimming and exercising at the recreation center to flirting crazily with the boys at chicken express of all places! Singing loudly along to Michael Bolton who you swore you loved with all your lil heart (even though I had NO idea who Michael Bolton was I would never tell you that...). We laughed loud and laughed often, we cuddled and cried at really dumb movies. I made fun of you for your angry driving, and I would patiently wait for you to feed me watermelon from a spoon that was salted! Something I learned was not something everyone did! Surprise! But even more I waited to eat flour tortillas slathered in butter no matter how bad for me it might have been. I loved it because it came from you. 

I love you forever and always.  Thank you for giving me you. 

Momma,
You held my hand throughout my life and I'm so thankful that I was able to hold yours. My heart is filled with love for you, my teacher, my friend, my mom.  I'm going to miss taking care of you, miss our weekly breakfasts, and all our crazy talks.  Momma give Lisa and Carlos a hug for me.

Forever your daughter,
Gail

Mom,

I remember when we would go and stay at your home and you and I would always look forward to our morning talks over coffee, looking out the back windows at the deer grazing. We would talk about everyone and everything, there were many laughs especially when we talked about the other kids. I always tried to be the first one to call you on your birthday or Mother’s Day, and I would always let Carlos know I was the first to wish you a happy birthday or a happy Mother’s Day as it was always a competition between us. Thank you for welcoming Tammie with open arms from day one and treating her like a daughter. We love you and miss your smiling face.

Always in our hearts,
Mark and Tammie

Rosemary was such a sweet, kind, classy lady! I remember going to her home and always having a home cooked meal. It seemed like as soon as we finished eating one meal she started on the next! She was truly loved and will be missed by all that knew her. 

My condolences to my COUSINS. May God be with the FAMILY  Always ❤️. I will keep y'all in my Prayers and  Thoughts. May my Tia Rosemary Rest In Peace ✝. I will miss your smile and your LOVE.

Mommy, Thank you for all the lovely, funny memories you left me with.   I just want you to know that you were the most caring loving person that God put in my life to be my mom.  I could not have asked for anyone better than you.  I will miss holding hands when you would come have sleep overs with me in Houston., or when I would take you to go get your hair and nails done and than taking you out to eat because you like to go to restaurants to be served not doing the serving.  And I will miss all your stories you would come up with that I could never remember happened but I still would listen to them.  I will miss making you laugh and tell me that I was crazy when I would dance for you.  I want you to know my life will not be the same without you and my heart is broken without you.  You will always be in my ❤️ and in my thoughts.  Love of my life infinity X infinity.

My Tia Mary was the last sibling of the Garcia family. I’m sure her sisters and brothers are telling her “what took you so long”.  Love and miss you Tia. RIP. Your last breath on Earth is your first in Heaven.  Love ❤️ Nica
