SANCHEZ, VIVIAN M. June 20, 1957 - Dec 21, 2005 Eight years later, there's a place in my heart, It remains empty because we are so far apart. I look to the sky knowing you are watching me, I know you are by my side, even though you I can't see, I miss your laugh and jokes we had. Please say Merry Christmas to grandma and my dad. Merry Christmas to you, how much we wish you were here, sharing all your laughter and cheer. I know we will see each other again, and oh I can't wait, so, when my time comes, meet you at the Pearly Gate. ~~Marlene Marquez
