Dear Garcia Family;
Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of Mr. Garcia. You are all in my thoughts and I hope you find comfort in knowing that he led a long, productive life and left behind many friends, including myself. I will always remember Mr. Garcia as a stern yet encouraging individual from whom I learned much about life and being a good citizen. I also learned a lot about my own ancestors, whom Mr. Garcia knew from his youth in Arizona. Although I haven't seen Mr. Garcia for several years, I have extemely clear memories of the last time I saw him in Sacramento (at Centro Restaurant), when we enjoyed an excellent meal and visit together. Peace to him and to you all.
P.S. -- You selected a very handsome picture of Mr. Garcia for the guest book. We should all look so good when we have grandchildren.
