In loving Memory of Maria Elena Garcia

Beloved Mother, Grandmother, and Great- Grandmother.

Maria Elena Garcia was the heart and soul of our family. She loved deeply and without condition, treating everyone with the same warmth, kindness and respect. Her door was always open, her heart even more so.

Maria Elena took care of us in every way imaginable. She was a guiding light- never judging, always listening and always ready to offer comfort or wisdom. She taught us the meaning of compassion, the strength of patience, and the importance of family.

Her Love was steady and constant, a quite strength that held us all together. We are forever grateful for her presence in our lives, and her legacy will live on in each of us. In the lesson she taught, the love she gave, and the example she set.

We love you and we will never forget you.

Maria Elena survived by her loving children Thomas Garcia, Connie Alaniz, Johnny Garcia, Patricia "Patty" Maldonado, Robert Garcia jr., Anastacia Garcia, Emerald Garcia, Jason Garcia; 14 grandchildren; 37 great-grandchildren, 2 great-great grandchildren and numerous other family members.
