UVALDE, Texas — A week after the school shooting that killed 19 students and two teachers, this small city had the first of many funerals — a marathon of grief.
This week, services are planned for 11 children and teacher Irma Garcia. The first was Amerie Jo Garza, 10, buried Tuesday in a silver casket.
“She was sassy. She was always laughing, smart and just a beautiful little girl,” said an aunt, Angie Ortega, 56, as she walked toward the town’s Catholic church for the funeral.
