The funeral of El Paso shooting victim Margie Reckard is relocating to a larger venue after her husband's request for the city's attendance received an overwhelming response.
La Pez is a facility owned by Perches Funeral Homes, which is is donating the funeral costs to Antonio Basco, Reckard's husband, at no cost. "I've done high-profile funerals in my career and I've never seen anything like this -- for a normal, everyday person to have an outpouring of support to attend their funeral," Johnson added."I think it's attributed to Mr. Antonio, to [people] not wanting him to be alone."
Johnson has been working with Basco to set up Reckard's services. He told"GMA" that Basco is stunned by the community support.
