On June 15, 1977, I met with Juanita and her family for the first time as an exchange student from Sweden. During weeks to come she became what I use to call "my American Mother". She took always care of me and was a great support when I needed it. We met again in 1988 after I finished my days at school in Sweden. During the last years we were in Facebook chats from time to time. Mrs Garcia will always be in my heart

Anthony, Juanita, and Tony were a big part of my life! Anthony and I swam together for years, and Juanita & Tony were always there with a smile and a laugh and encouragement. My life wouldn't have been the same without the Garcias, I love them all very much.
