More than 1,000 floral arrangements were delivered from as far as France and Australia to honor Margie Reckard, whose husband invited strangers to mourn her after she was killed in the El Paso shooting.
Funeral director Salvador Perches didn't know what to do with more than 1,000 floral arrangements that were delivered from as far as France and Australia to honor Margie Reckard, whose husband invited strangers to mourn her.
She was the last to be memorialized of 22 people who were killed when a gunman opened fire at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, on August 3. "We were just overwhelmed," said Perches, whose funeral home handled Reckard's service last week at La Paz Faith Memorial and Spiritual Center. Hundreds waited in nearly 100-degree heat to mourn the 63-year-old.
— Stephanie A. Shields August 18, 2019 There were so many flowers at La Paz that it took nearly an hour for about 100 volunteers to load the hearses. Angel Gomez, the founder of an El Paso non-profit that helped coordinate funerals, and his 8-year-old grandson were among the volunteers."Did all these people die?," the boy asked. No, Gomez said. The flowers were for one person, and she wanted to share them with other 21 who were killed, he said.
