My family members and I find peace and solace in the fact that he is now reunited with her in heaven. When my Mama, the love of his life, passed away last year, Papi was not quite the same. However he made it clear that although he was no longer a Catholic, he was still a Christian, and would always be proud of his Catholic heritage. As an adult, he made the decision to leave Catholicism. He loved his grandchildren and instilled in them The Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you… the same Golden Rule he so often repeated to his own children while we were growing up. My Papi was usually a quiet, gentle man, but he knew how to be loud and proud when he had to be.

The cornerstone of this foundation was the deep-rooted pride he had in his heritage and his faith. Coming from a very poor family, with just the shoes on his feet and the shirt on his back, Papi built a solid foundation for his business and for his own family. My Papi, Edwin James Garza, was an exceptional man. It gives me peace in knowing that he and Mom are finally together again.Įach of you was special to Mom in one way or another, and I want to thank you for being here today. As many of you know, Sam is no longer with us, but the years that he and Mom were able to spend together were the greatest years of her life. She had a deep love for her husband, Sam, whom she married in this very church on July 7th, 1993. She was a very hard worker, and I think we can all agree that she was a talented artist. And she had a passion for the environment, which she instilled in my sister Valerie and I from an early age. She had a passion for teaching art, which she did at her beloved Edwards Christian Academy in Southerfield. She had a passion for her children, for ensuring that we were well taken care of at all times. My mother, Lydia Jane Ethridge, had many passions in life.
