Jenny Sanchez Tribute

My year of magical thinking is up and I have to come to grips with reality. What is reality? You are physically not here with us but I know you have not left us. I see you in every butterfly I see. I see you in all these kids faces. I talk to you everyday and I know you hear me. I feel your presence especially when I am struggling. I hear you whisper in my ear. When I start to stumble I feel you hold me up. I hear you answer when I ask you to guide me, I feel you gently point me in the right direction. There is not one memory I want to share but an infinite number of memories and that number is still growing even though you are not physically here. I want to share this feeling of certainty and assurance I have because I know you have not left us but instead you are waiting for us. Thank you mom for staying and please keep visiting us. We will never stop wanting to hold you but just knowing you are still here for us will sustain us until we are with you again. I Love you Mom. Don’t worry, I am ok with people thinking I a little crazy. I have never been one to worry about that. As for reality I think it is over rated.

Your daughter,
Sonya
P.S. We love you the whole world.

My youngest daughter's birthday is approaching this month and when I sit to remember the day my family was blessed to have her come into our world, my Aunt Jenny's hope and love still feels stronger than ever. When Lauren came into the world 2 years ago, she needed a little extra TLC to get herself going....fortunately modern medicine allowed her recover to be, however modern medicine didn't fill the whole I had in my heart leaving her at the hospital and returning home without her in my arms. During her hospital stay, many family members offered support and love during the difficult time, especially Aunt Jenny. I remember her sitting next to me and Lauren in her incubator (tubes and monitor's all over the baby's body)....Aunt Jenny stayed with me for a long time and she kept telling me that Lauren looked strong and beautiful and she would be out of the hospital and home soon.....her loving words were needed during this time and her hope and confidence that everything was going to be okay was like a beam of warmth light on my loom and gloom days at the hospital. As Lauren turns 2 this month, I will remember those days with my Aunt Jenny at the hospital and her gift she gave to me and continues to give to me. Thank you Aunt Jenny! I love you and miss you!
Keep Laughing!

Her laugh.......Her voice........Her smile.........Her flip flops........Her t-shirts........Always knowing who she was and what she stood for.......... Her confidence........Dancing to 50's music with her sister Helen at a family party.........Her telling her brother Richard to relax.........Her saying, "If you act like a ____ you're going to get treated like one." (By the way- not about me.)........Her out spoken personality (My personal favorite)..........These are just a few of my memories I have about my Aunt Jenny. I feel blessed to have known Aunt Jenny and to be part of her family. Butterflies have a new meaning for me....... Thank you Aunt Jenny for including me in on that. I think of you often and at times see glimpses of you simply by looking in the mirror. MISS YOU- LOVE YOU- KNOW I WILL SEE YOU AGAIN. Monica

My Aunt Jenny was somone who was loving, caring, compassionate and who loved her family very much. One of my memories with my Auntie Jenny was when she lived up the street from us. When I was a little girl, I would go up and visit her and we would play board/card games . . . and of course that meant I would take her away from playing her Solitaire game! When we were done, she would always offer up her homemade tortillas with butter! You could never have just one . . . they were too good : ) Another one my memories of my Auntie Jenny was that she taught me how to play softball. I know I was never as good as her daughter Sonya who got to play catcher . . . but she did have self pitty on me (being that I was her niece and I was also one who was afraid of getting hit by the ball) she did allow me to play outfield. Thank you Auntie Jenny.

My Auntie Jenny was one person whom I could say I knew to be true to herself and her family. She never tried to be someone she was not and did not pass judgment on others. She would always have something positive to say no matter how negative things were . . . she would look on the bright side of any situation. She always had a wonderful smile about her that would light up a room because it was genuine and heartfelt. I will miss you always Auntie Jenny but knowing you are with our loving father I know your happiness will live on forever! Happy Birthday and I love you.
Your Niece Annette

I think of you everyday
I can still hear your voice
Clear as night and day.

Your loving voice
Your tender touch
Your kind words
I miss so much.

I miss our talks, laughs and cries
But most of all your hugs and kisses
As we said our hellos and good-byes.

I miss you Auntie Jenny
I miss you so much
One day I will be with you again
To feel your tender touch.


HAPPY BIRTHDAY Auntie Jenny
Hug & Kisses...
I Love You Much
