SACHS -- Martin F. In Loving Memory of Martin F. Sachs February 7, 1907 - March 1, 1999 Today, five years ago, you peacefully passed away. As weeks turn into months, and months turn into years, I now finally realize that God has a plan for each and everyone of us. In some situations it's very hard to understand, but we must accept it and live each day as if it is our last. For those of us left behind, we will be held accountable. I always told you I'd take care of you. It was a special time for both of us. Little did I know that by doing so, I would reap such great rewards. You left me blessed and appreciated, and looking back, I have not regrets. I know that seeing you again is part of God's plan. Your loving daughter, Angeline Sachs Velasquez
