SANCHEZ, LILLIAN P. January 10,1926 - December 19,1993 Twenty years later, yet the pain remains the same. Its unbelievable how fast it seemed to have came. It somehow seems unfair, even though we know you're in a much better place. Feels like it was yesterday we saw your Beautiful Smiling face. They say give it time, and time will heal. So patiently we wait, 20 years later the pain is here still. I know you're Always with us as time goes on. In our hearts keeping us strong And that's the place you'll stay, in our hearts forever more. Until we meet again at Heavens Door. ~~Marlene Marquez
