SACHS, MARTIN F. In Loving Memory February 7, 1907 - March 1, 1999 On this day, 16 years ago, your name was called. It left me with an ache that still remains to this day. Writing a memoir every year has caused me to be repetitious, yet bears repeating. Proud am I of the special father-daughter relationship we shared. We trusted and respected one another always. Never turning one down when needed. Knowing there are no regrets gives me great comfort. I love and miss you terribly and grateful for the many years having you as my dad. You will never be forgotten. Your loving daughter, Angeline Sachs Velasquez
