No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. Our deepest condolences are with you Sam & Recka as you grieve. We will always remember your mom's smile. We had some great times togather as children on Naylor RD SE.
May our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ keep your heart, mind and soul from this day forward.

Dear Family of Sophia Garces,
I want to express my sincere sympathy for the loss of your loved one. During this time of grief and stress you can find comfort and encouragement. The scripture at Psalms 55:22 says that GOD will sustain you. John 20:38 tells us "all are living to GOD".What a wonderful hope! My hope is that you will find comfort as the days move forward. Please take care of yourselves. Sincerely

The Greene's

We would just just like to extend our sympathies to the family. Sam we just want you to know that from Grandma Greene as well as rest of the host of your other Greene aunts and uncles that we love you, we support you, we are there for you and extend whatever need that you may have. We also extend the same to Recka, even though we didn't have the priviledge of personally interacting with you, we still open our arms to you. There is no earthly word that can fill that void in your life or hearts. A mother is irreplacible, the love, the look, the hug, just being there. So this day we open our hearts to you as well as your sister and say we love you, we love, we love and we are here. Just like our two families have intertwined over the years you can expect the same of us intertwining with support. May God heal your heart and help you through this breaking and low process.

It's hard for me to put togehter what I want to say. I'm still trying to except the loss of Ms. Sophie. I've known her since I was a little girl and she's always been such a kind person. My heart goes out to the family. Sam and Reka I love yall and want you to know that you are in my heart and prayers every day. Know that you are not alone in your time of grief. Comfort is just a phone call away.

Sophie, I am so thankful for the time that God gave you to us. Thank you for being such a kind and giving person, friend and sister. You did a wonderful job in raising my niece and I can promise you that I will do everything in my power to carry on your legacy. I can speak for my entire family when I say, that we love you and will miss you forever.

To the Garces Family,
We are never prepared for the loss of a loved one, but God is always prepared to help us through that loss. May his presence begin the healing in your heart and soul, and may His love surround you with the comfort only He can give. God call his angel (Sophia) to come home. So Sam and Recka be strong mom is OK.

Ms. Garces and family,
I would like to take this opportunity to extend my deepest sympathy to you and your family on the lost of Sophie. I will be praying that God will give you strength during this difficult time. Just remember that God doesn't make any mistakes; and she is in a better place with no more pain and suffering.

You and I know that a lot of things in life

aren’t going to be easy.

And right now,

things aren’t easy for you.

But even in the midst

of these hard times,

God is sheltering you with His love.

Sometimes He speaks

directly to your heart,

and sometimes

he shows you His love

through the people who care

about you.

That’s why, right now,

I want you to know

I’m here for you

To remind you how much

I care about you,

How much I’m praying for you,

and how very much

God loves you.
