In loving memory of Ester R. Garza.

With heavy hearts and deep love, we're saying goodbye to our beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend, Ester. Her passing leaves an empty space that could never be filled, but her love, kindness, and strength will live on in all that were blessed to know her.
