Sandoval -- In Loving Memory of RAYNARD SANDOVAL December 29, 1962-February 13, 1998It is a deep mystery This matter of life and death....That the same person Who brought us a thousand laughs, Can one day leave us shedding a thousand tears....So suddenly all of our lives were changed forever And we continue to grope blindly for all the words left unspoken, Just to be able to say Thank You for being a part of our lives, To give you that one last hug we so desperately wanted to give you And to be able to say goodbye....And we are left to wonder, How the thread that holds all of us to life Can be so thin and so fragile....Until one day, we find the courage to accept That the living are not meant to understand death, Only to celebrate life, And we remember that the only real death would be forgetting you.Ray, you are in our thoughts everyday and we will never forget you.
