My grandmother was a beautiful woman. She was strong, courageous, and very independent as a young child when she was in elementary school she decided she wanted to go to private school. She left in the middle of the day. Told her dad at the post office that she wanted to go to the private school The next day grandpa Garcia sent her with the check and told her to tell the school that if they have any questions for her to tell them that her father is Edward Garcia and he works at the post office and that is how my grandmother enrolled herself as a young child at a private school. My grandmother never had any tattoos, always said if she did get one it would be a rose on her shoulder a red rose for her mother. My grandmother took care of me almost every day. She was so amazing and she had the biggest heart she loved cats. She loved her pretty girl in Elvis too, and she loved my grandfather celedon.
