We miss you more today then ever! The time we had, Wasn't nearly enough to get us through our lifetime. As the years go by, I may have forgotten a few things, Like the sound of your voice,
But i sure remember the love you spoke in every word. There have been many of times that I wished you were still here to celebrate all of my joys, to tell me things will work out fine, just one last hug and an I love you before you say goodbye... Most of all I wished you could be here to calm my fears. We've spent more of our lives without you then with you, I'm sad to say. But I want you to know I still love you, more then ever with each passing day. Rest in Paradise!!!

Today daddy Sarah gets baptised! What a way to turn this day of sorrow into a celebration OF LIFE. We miss you dearly but know you will be right there with us in spirit tonight. I love you daddy!!!

Corporal Garcia, after all of these years, I still think about you. I see your pictures on my wall and think about the old days of patroling US59 in Wharton County. I was DPS Unit 2395, you were DPS Unit 2396. I think about how we were able to work and B-B-Q together. Remember B-B-Qing while it was cold and sleeting,Great Times and so many memories. You may be gone, but not forgotten. Your COMPADRE misses You!!
