Val and Lori Garcia with lots great memories and hugs. We love you brother 🌹💕
Dad, you were such an amazing father, and we all loved you more than words could ever say. Everywhere I look, and everything I see, reminds me of you. 70s music, the State Fair, the mountains, action movies, your laugh, flea markets, coins, eagles and wolves, trapeze, peppers, potted meat, and fried bologna are all just a few of the things that make me think of you. But the truth is, it’s not just these things. It’s everything. The world is filled with reminders of you, and I know it always will be.
I love you more than words could ever say, and I find comfort in knowing that one day, I will see you again. Until that day comes, please know how much I love and how much I miss you, and know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers every single day.
Goodbye for now, Dad, but not forever. Until we meet again, you will always be in my heart.
Forever loving you, Pistola (Karen)
