Jaime Garza family, I saw a bumper sticker that said: Life is short, but Heaven is forever!
You will see your husband again, your father again. It will a glorious reunion. Be strong and be at peace! GOD is with you! GOD has been faithful to you, to all of us, to allow Jaime to be with us for so long. He was a man of GOD, a miracle in our midst. He was loving, funny, caring, strong, faithful, forgiving of others, peaceful, joyful, trustworthy, gentle, meek, devoted to GOD, devoted to his wife and children, committed to his church and his work, a protector, a giver, a seeker of GOD… I’m sure we could all think of more. All of these virtues are yours to pick up and put on. They are a gift, a blessing, from your father for you to wear every day of your life. It may be like a big shirt that doesn’t fit you at the moment, but it will. Know that you truly are your father’s son, your father’s daughter, your husband’s wife and all that he instilled in you is still there for you to become the Man of GOD and Women of GOD that you are destined to be. Parents always want their children to exceed them... your father was a GREAT man. I can’t wait to see what each of you will become for the glory of our Heavenly Father. I am my brother-in-law’s brother. I miss you my friend.

I am thankful that I had the opportunity to know Jaime, and call him my friend. I pray for Pat and the family that the faith that Jaime had and lived will sustain them in the days, weeks, and time to come. Thank God, we know that Christians don't die, they just move, and we know the forwarding address and have a blessed hope of meeting again. May God's comfort and grace be with the Garza family.
