Anita G. Rodriguez, 72, entered into eternal rest on Tuesday, August 5, 2014. Anita Garza Rodriguez, was a devoted and inspiring Catholic. Anita was a parishioner at St. Joseph Catholic Church, having served the Lord as a Catechist, Altar Society Member, Vela Perpetua, as well as other parish duties and activities. It is through her faith that we are united in this time of pain and sorrow. Her devotion to Mary and Jesus brings us that peace that we have returned her soul to God, the giver of life. In the words of Matthew: "Blessed are they who have died in the Lord; may they now rest from their labors; for their good deeds go with them." May you rest in peace in the company of all the angels and saints, where you now guide us in the path of Christ.
