GARCIA -- Alexander In Memory of Alexander Garcia April 9, 1922 - September 12, 1989 In tears we saw you sinking, And watched you fade away, Our hearts were almost broken, We wanted you to stay. But when we saw you sleeping, So peaceful, free from pain. How could we wish you back with us, To suffer this again? It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God took you home. We miss you more and more each day. We feel your love around us in everything we do. Until we meet again, our precious great-grandfather, grandfather, father and loving husband. All our love, Judy and family; and Nellie, your loving wife.
