Sanchez -- IN LOVING MEMORY OF Carlos Raul Sanchez June 25, 1978-October 29, 1999A year ago today our lives were changed forever. We are painfully aware that life can never be the same again. If life went on the same without the presence of our loved one who has passed on, we could only conclude that the life we remember made no contribution, filled no space, meant nothing. The fact that Carlos left behind a place that cannot be filled is a high tribute to him. Life can be the same after a trinket has been lost but never after the loss of a treasure. We all miss you, love you, and you will be in our hearts forever. Aunt Doe, The Sanchez and Tapia Families Published on: Sun October 29, 2000
