Enedina Garcia who was married to Lorenzo Garcia Came from La Manzanilla Jalisco in the late 1950’s To work Agricultural a few years later she became a widow she then moved to Salinas Ca and worked at Cel A Pack. In the 80’s She adopted 2 of her grandchildren who are Me and my brother who ended up giving her the nick name NANA we where raised up in a beautiful giving home we watched Nana open her doors to all her grandkids every holiday specially Christmas. Enedina Garcia made sure that every time during dinner her doors where open to all her children and grandchildren she made sure there was always plenty for everyone to share. The best memories of my nana is remembering her making her home made cheese and telling us when she was a child in Mexico she would make cheese to sell at the plaza Nana's most famous dishes was her adobo/Filipino style Her tacos De canasta Her Capirotada and her tamales And Her salsa. Some Hobby’s I remember where her collection of family photos her Knickknacks and plants she enjoyed doing her yard work,watching her novelas with her coffee and concha’s. The most precious memories I will keep with me are her long talks her sharing her wisdom explaining to me the golden rules of life I will forever keep them rooted in me I will always keep her memories and smiles with me I thank her for being a mother and father to me and my brother and to all her grandchildren. She was a great counselor and great listener she showed me what perseverance was. Me and my wife will always keep her in our family memories we’ll pass all her wisdom and her words to our children in hopes that they too will cary her memories on -The Flores Family
