Ronnie Elias Sanchez

Dear Troy and Larry, Mia and I send out our love and most sincere condolences at this time of loss--to you both and to your families. Much love, thoughts, and prayers also go out to our beloved Aunts and Uncle Tony at this time of remembrance for a blessed and talented Brother. In faith, I thought of Ronnie, our Cousins, Lawrence, and Edmund together with Grandma and Grandpa...as the gospel song goes..."In the sky, Lord, in the sky." The circle will surely be unbroken through the enduring love and faith of this caring family.

To my brother Ron your time here is now complete, you leave behind two wonderful men, your sons Troy and Larry and three awesome grandchildren,
I also want to acknowledge your two beautiful daughters Lorrie and Carol. Even
though our time with them was called short they will forever be in our family's
hearts and Ron you helped our parents complete this chain of love! Brother,
Thank You for the way you were, there will never be another Ronnie, you were
one of a kind...Your gift ability for boxing made this entire family proud and we
tell the stories now to our children and they will tell their children ...Forever
dance them on Ronnie! I hope your shoes were spitted shine for heaven! All
my love too you, now and forever more...Your sister, Barbara

My dearest Uncle I hope that you are dancing with the angels and Grandpa and Grandma Sanchez. I will miss our dances and the sparkle in your eye. I love you!

Though Ronnie was not my father he treated me like a son. I will be forever grateful for the 20 years I knew him. Though he may not be here in physical form he will forever be in our hearts and soul. His spirit will live on as for everyone that remembers him with a tear or smile will forever be brightened in that day and moment. My heart goes out to his son's, sisters and brothers and to everyone that loved and new him as he was a father to so many. Love, Jim..

My dearest father, may your new journey allow you to be filled with love, peace and eternal light. Your son.

The Bridge

Between now and now,
between I am and you are,
the word bridge.

Entering it
you enter yourself:
the world connects
and closes like a ring.

From one bank to another,
there is always
a body stretched:
a rainbow.
I'll sleep beneath its arches.

Octavio Paz
