Obituary for SANCHEZ


Published in the Albuquerque Journal on Wednesday December 28, 2005

Vivian M. Sanchez June 20, 1957 - December 21, 2005 You had this wish for me to write you a poem when you were no longer here. I'll keep my promise, do my best, It's kind of hard, Tear after tear. Suddenly you were called home. I know who called, it was probably your Mom. Suddenly we are all alone, I feel like asking "God what did I do wrong?" You've taken not only my aunt, but my grandmother too. I'm lost and confused and don't know what to do. So I ask, Just hold her close and keep her safe, Let her know in our hearts she will always have a place. We'll see her soon, well just have to wait. Until the day we reach the pearly gate. - Marlene Marquez
