GARCIA -- DANIEL JR. In Loving Memory of Daniel Gerald Garcia Jr. August 11, 2003 to April 28, 2006 Today you would have turned eight. There would have been a party and lots of balloons. Instead I will take your balloons to your grave, look up towards heaven and hope you know how much your mama loves and misses you. I miss you within the depth of my heart. Sometimes it hurts just to breathe. It's hard not to wonder what you would have been like today. You never got the chance - because of others actions. For years I have been told to forgive, But, I never will, never. Happy Birthday in Heaven hito I wish you were here - I will always wish you were here. Love Mama
