Our thoughts & prayers are with the Sanchez Family. We mourn the loss of a friend. We also celebrate his life. Margaret would watch as he toiled around the the house (which was often) & I could pass the time with a good war story. A proud Marine who spent his 19th birthday protecting his country on IWO JIMA.
