SANCHEZ -- NEPO JR. In Loving Memory of: Nepo Sanchez Jr. Born May 25, 1938 Died March 20, 2006 Snow In His Hair The year has been one, the year has been long, but at least he's contented our daddy's gone home. He's looking our way and we clearly can see God bless our daddy, he knew it was us. There was snow in his hair; we helped put it there, a halo of worry and care. As our daddy grew old and more precious than gold, for we cherished that snow in his hair. His shoulders were bent with the weight of the years, we scarcely could hold back the flood tide of tears. He walked with a cane as he stumbled along. He's now with his Mother and Father, they'll welcome him home. With his Mom and Dad on his right and Christ on his left, He went to a place that we all knew was best. Now the long years of suffering have been put to rest. Goodbye dear daddy, at last you may rest. We love you and miss you. Your children, Leona, Max, Luberto Nepo And wife Dolores
