I am just hearing the news this morning from a reconnection with another professor.

Professor Garcia was my reason to continue. Throughout my time in nursing school, we connected in a way that felt like family. She never stopped checking on me to see how I was doing even when she wasn’t my professor anymore. It hurts to know that we won’t be able to do carnival together like we planned, but I think God for the times I did with her. 🙏🏾 condolences to her family and friends🤍

A charming human being and always full of good vibes. He taught me that you can always give more of yourself.

I thank God that I had the opportunity to see her in one of the most important moments of my life and I saw her happy.

Professor García was my mentor and friend. She cared for me as a human being and pushed me to the limits I myself thought I would never reach . On graduation date I was upset she could not be the one to pin me but she gave me the tightest hug and told me “ don’t you worry , you are already brilliant and I already know that , I’m here to wat h you shine . During the nursing program when I was about to quit it all she called me insisting for me to keep pushing specially to do it for my daughter . I am never will forget her words of encouragement and empathy . She met my husband , she met my family and I presented her my daughter . With my heartbroken as I write this words , I can surely say she made my journey worth it , she was a light in our darkest moments . Eduardo , Slanda as well wish you the best time in heaven my dear . Your contagious laugh , the funniest yet most unique accent and your beautiful personality will never be forgotten. I love you and rest easy .
