To the Sanchez Family, we are sorry to hear of the passing of your Mother Irene Sanchez. I will miss seeing her in church every Sunday morning. She is now in heaven rejoicing with all the saints gone before. It is never easy to lose a loved one, but we can rejoice in knowing they no longer suffer and are at peace with the Lord. May God comfort your family in your time of sorrow.

Grandma Sanchez was a beautiful and wonderful woman. She was always sweet and kind to me and my family. She will be missed.

To my familia-Joe,Vickie,Elisha (and Paul, Henry,John,and family):there comes a comfort that all of you know where grandma is and the hope of where we will one-day be too- our true home! May the Lord who is the provider of our strength shine his glory upon you and the whole family today and always! MEMORY: Vickie, Joe and Elisha taught me who a Savior named Jesus was and through them, I met Grandma Sanchez. I remember vividly when she told my "now"husband "you need to go ahead and marry her (me)." He laughed but she would not let it go that day, it was like she meant it and he was going to have to do it. Well, a year later, he asked me to marry him. We will always remember her persistence! Will also remember her love for the Lord and Calvary Temple (when on airport freeway) always at the early morning service- very faithful. Love you all so much! Peace of Christ upon you...
