Today would have been my grandmother’s 83rd birthday. She passed away on April 4th of this year (Easter). This is the obituary that was published by the funeral home in San Antonio. Margarita P. Galindo passed into her Lord’s hands on April 4, 2010 at the age of 82 years. She was preceded [...] December 21st, 2009
