In the end Antonio Basco was not alone to mourn his wife Margie Reckard, killed in #ElPasoShooting. So far more than 1000 people showed up. Strangers that became his family in #elpaso. @dallasnews
Antonio Basco lost his wife, Margie Reckard, in the El Paso mass shooting on August 3. He invited the public to attend his wife’s funeral service on Friday night, and hundreds of strangers showed up in solidarity.
Here’s the scene inside the funeral home for Margie Reckard’s prayer service. This service is likely the last of the large public remembrances for the 22 victims of a white supremacist hate crime in El Paso on Aug. 3.
A beautiful show of support from the El Paso community. Hundreds of people have already paid their respects to Antonio Basco, as well as the close family and friends of Margie Reckard.A look at the inside of La Paz Faith Church where El Paso shooting victim Margie Reckard will be remembered tonight.
