Mr. and Mrs Garza where the most kind and generous couple. Very fond memories having La Pizza house pizza and onion rings at their house on Saturday nights. Mr. Garza always thought he was the funniest man in the room and he often was. He had the most wonderful laugh. Find comfort that he is reunited with the souls of your dearly departed family.

My condolences to the family. I
always looked forward to Lupe coming to Pioneer Columbus Senior Center. Lupe always came in with a smile on his face. He was very nice. Lupe was lucky to have great nurses who accompanied him here at the senior center. He was well attended and taken care of. I will truly miss him.
