It was so great to have Tony as a brother-in-law! Very greatful, that his health held out and he was able to visit us in Illinois. He had a nice visit with nieces, Danielle and Alexis. With his interest in the medical field, Danielle (just completed a BS in nursing) and Tony had a lot to talk about. He enjoyed being with the family and was wanting to come back for another visit. Just good to know he enjoyed the symphony, art museum and his favorite restaurants in Chicago on his last visit. He will be deeply missed.
Love,
Manny, Louise, Danielle and Alexis Garza
