Raquel Sanchez Obituary
She was preceded in death by her paternal grandfather Juan E. Sanchez, and her maternal grandparents Antonio and Angelita Hernandez.
Left to cherish her memory are her parents, Gilberto and Lydia Sanchez; siblings, Juan Gilberto "Woody" Sanchez (Irene), Daniel "Dan" Sanchez (Alex), Judge David Sanchez (Melba); paternal grandmother Evangelina Sanchez; nephews and nieces, Brandon, Brandy, Juan Diego "JD", David Nicklaus (Nick), Daniella, Briannah Renée (Bri Bri) Daniel (Danielito), and Alessia; her best friend Norma (Chics) Martinez; and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Renée graduated from Harlingen High South in 1996. She was a huge Hawks fan. Renée was also an avid fan of WWE wrestling. She attended several wrestling events all over the state and always brought home the belt. She loved music by Garth Brooks, George Strait, and David Lee Garza y Los Musicales. Renée knew no stranger. Everyone she came across became a friend. She was loved and admired by everyone. Renée was a volunteer with Harlingen CISD first at Harlingen South and then went over to Ben Milam Elementary where Dr. Rosie Cobarrubias and all the Ben Milam family took her in with open arms. She loved her Ben Milam family. She volunteered there until this last school year when she "retired" to look after her mom who was battling cancer. Renée loved to dance and regularly wore her brothers and her father out on the dance floor. The girl could dance! She enjoyed playing her guitar, accordion, keyboard, and drums. She was an inspiration to many, especially those that have family members with Down's syndrome. Renée loved spending time with the Flores girls, her sisters from across the street. She would spend hours on the phone with friends like Lupana who lived in California, cousin Renee from California, cousin Jessica from Dallas, and her best friend Norma (Chics) Martinez. Renée was one of a kind. SHE WILL BE GREATLY MISSED, but NEVER FORGOTTEN!!!!!!!!

Gilberto and Lile, please accept our deepest sympathy on the passing of Renee. I will always remember how happy she was and how she made me envious that I wasn't seeing the world with her passion for life. She made a deep impression on all that she met and will be remembered as a beautiful soul.

Señor Gilberto y señora Lili, con verdadera tristeza les ofrezco mi más sincero pésame por el fallecimiento de su hijita Renee y sólo le pido a Dios les conceda santa resignación en estos momentos tan difíciles. Tuve la dicha de conocer a esa jovencita llena de alegría y ritmo al bailar en una fiesta de cumpleaños del juez David y Dan en la cual quedé gratamente impresionada pues ella dejaba su sello único en cada persona qué la trataba y estoy segura qué la luz de Cristo qué brillaba a través de Renee estará siempre en cada amanecer para ustedes y todos sus seres queridos.

Renee I could never wish you back because I know you're happy. My heart will hurt for you all the days of my life but I'll be okay. You're happiness is what matters most. I can hear you now telling me over the phone..."Hello my heart." I love you, I love you, I love you. Thank you for all you gave me and taught me. You know we loved singing together so here's one more for the road..."If you get there before I do? Don't give up on me. I'll meet you when my chores are through. I don't know how long I'll be. But I'm not gonna let you down. Darlin wait and see. Cuz between now and then till I see you again I'll be loving you...love me."
