GARCIA -- In Memory of David O. Garcia October 20, 1935 - February 26, 2002 My Dave, two years since you went to a perfect place where there is no pain or suffering as you had suffered much too long here on earth. I know that you did not want to leave me and I did not want to let you go, so it was me who made you suffer so long. God felt your pain and he picked you up and took you with him. Now you are in the most perfect home where I hope I too will go to be with you. I am so lonely so alone and sad. I miss you so much, your love, touch, kindness, respect, companionship and protectiveness. You always made me feel so special. My heart is broken and will not mend until I join you. I will never forget you. Love, Julie Garcia (wife)
