Antonio Basco will say goodbye today to his wife, who was killed in the El Paso shooting. But he will not be alone.
Antonio Basco feared he would be alone to say goodbye to his wife, who was killed in the El Paso shooting, because he had no family nearby, but now thousands are expected to attend her vigil Friday night.
The response to Basco's invitation was so overwhelming that the funeral staff relocated the service to a bigger venue in El Paso, Texas. Since Perches posted on Facebook that Basco “welcomes anyone to attend his wife’s service” because he had no nearby family, people from as far away as California have expressed interest in attending Reckard’s funeral, Johnson said.
The FBI El Paso Division and its Victim Service Specialists will be in attendance at Reckard’s funeral Friday.
