Tagged: , , , , , , ,

“Earlier Monday, mourners also gathered at Our Lady of the Mount Church to pay their last respects to Catalina Garcia, who was remembered as a “daughter of Cicero” by city officials in this heavily Hispanic suburb.

“She chose the hard path to pursue university education,” NIU President John Peters said at the 20-year-old’s funeral. Garcia, the youngest of four children in a family that had immigrated to the United States from Guadalajara, Mexico, was studying to become a teacher.

“She had goals and dreams. She inspired us all and should inspire young people of our community,” Peters said.”*
