Montano -- IN LOVING MEMORY OF OUR BELOVED GRANDPA JUAN H. MONTANO April 15, 1914 to November 6, 1997A year has passed without you here, But not a day has passed that you have not been thought of. Your sudden departure remains unclear. But we know you are watching from high above.You are probably laughing or telling a story, With our dear smiling Grandma at your side. Safe in the hands of God and all His glory, Content and free of pain, looking down on us with pride.We never had the chance to say our goodbyes, And you left a Little Cowboy who will never know you. The thought of that brings tears to our eyes. For we know your prayers are what pulled him through.Even after a year, it is hard to let you go, You are missed with every passing day. We hope you knew that we loved you so, It was something we never had the chance to say.Stay out of mischief up there, Grandpa"One", You will forever be in our hearts. Go rest high on that mountain, your work here is done. Till the day comes when we will no longer be apart.WE LOVE YOU! Sandra, Randy, Ashley, Jonathan, Zachary, and your Little Cowboy, Tyler.

Sanchez -- Our Loving Mother ERLINDA D. SANCHEZ Born: June 14, 1934 Died: Nov. 4, 1997We can't believe it's been a year. You are always in our hearts. If we could have one lifetime wish, we'd pray with all our hearts for yesterday and you. No farewells were spoken, there was no time for goodbyes, you were gone before we knew it, only our Lord knows why. A thousand words can't bring you back, we know because we've tried, and neither will a million tears because we've cried. You left behind our broken hearts and happy memories too, but we never wanted memories, we only wanted you. To some you may be forgotten, to others a part of the past, but to us who loved you, your memory will always last. Though it broke our hearts to lose you, Mom, you did not go alone, for a part of us went with you when you went home. If teardrops were a stairway and heartaches made our way, we'd walk a path to heaven and bring you back to stay. We know your love is with us and when our life is through we'll be home with you. We love you. Alvin Sanchez / Cathy Rubi Sanchez
