Deacon Garcia, I’m writing to u bc I know ur listening & u can see me from heaven. I am forever grateful for ur friendship, prayers & the blessing u always gave me when I saw u. I particularly appreciate the rosary u recited at my dad’s wake. I’ve never forgotten ur words of comfort & support.
It is w/sincere & profound sadness that I say goodbye. I had not had the courage to write anything bc my heart literally hurt. It still does, but I owed it to u & ur family to let u & them know that I will miss seeing u at mass & in town.
I remember u never denied a loan at First Stare Bank where I would go for my loans. U would personally extend ur hand even before u invited us into ur office! I’m sure many people felt the confidence that I felt, seeking help from a friend yet awesome professional.
No matter where we met, u always had a smile & it seemed to me that u treasured my friendship as I did. Mary, too, was always as sweet as the scent of a rose, a respectful lady w/ prayers to offer me along with her smile.
Thank u for ur example as a holy man of God, ur undying faith & the blessings u personally gave me. I will pray for u & to u the so u can help me get to heaven, u4 new home, where ur family & friends want to join u one day. Stay close to us & guide our steps so that our paths may lead to Paradise, with Jesus, Our Lord & Savior.
Hasta luego, amigo del alma! Que diosito lo tengo en su santo reino y brille para ud. La luz perpetua. Que descanse en Paz; asi sea.
P.S. Mary & family, I found out too late that Mr. Garcia had passed away, about a week after. That’s why u didn’t see me at the rosary or interment. I would have never missed saying goodbye to him or paying proper sympathies.
May God give u strength during ur grieving hours & console u with beautiful memories of Mr. Garcia. He will not be forgotten as his Godly ways are difficult to erase. Please know that I pray earnestly & daily for u. The last thing I want to say is something u May know already: love never dies, therefore, Mr. Garcia will have eternal life in Christ, Jesus. With that comfort, he, too, will look down on u with a smile, happily in God’s eternal Glory!
😪😇💔
Our love, thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, Mary. Deacon Hector was a good servant of Christ and will be missed.
