I am glad that he was a part of my life and it hurts to know that he is gone but i will miss him greatly. If there is any thing i can do please contact me through e-mail. thank you so much.

Dear Sanchez Family,

I am a friend of Chris's and I miss him so much. Chris had a way of making everyone smile, even when that seemed impossible. I know you feel like you will never be the same, but God took Chris from us to a place far better than anything we can even imagine. He is loved and will be missed, but Chris would want us to be strong together and keep him in our hearts, but venture forward to see what God has in store for the rest of our lives. Be strong, pray often, and our short time on Earth will be a faint memory compared to an eternity in heaven.

All my love, Sharayah Courtney

My Dear Sanchez's,
There are no words that can take away your pain.
If there were, then all the words of comfort in heaven, and earth would be spoken for you now.
You are wonderful people, and we love you.
May God's mercy and comfort, hold you in the days ahead.
Remember, there are people for you to lean on, when you need a friend.
God Bless you all.

Sherman & Suzanne Ard, April & Adam Robbins Silsbee, TX January 24, 2009

Dear Leonard & Wendy,
We are so sorry to hear about Chris - we will keep you & your family in our prayers. Keep trusting in God - we know that Chris is in a better place - how beautiful it must be rejoicing with our Lord! And one day we will see him again! I know this doesn't take away your heartache but God will keep you wrapped in his arms to help you. Our hearts are heavy with grief as Chris touched all of our lives with his great smile and laughter - it just seems like yesterday he & Adam were so into playing "Nintendo, riding bikes" and doing what little boys love to do - playing in the dirt! We are truly going to miss Chris and are so proud to have been touched by his life! It is still so fresh on mine & Sherman memory when Chris came over to share with us his excitement of "going to work with his Dad" - he was sooo proud! That will forever be etched in our heart & mind! Chris loved his parents and lived for Christ - it showed in his life. If you need anything please know that we are just right next door!

Leonard & Wendi, We are so sorry for your loss. Chris was a fine young man. I always enjoyed hearing him laugh. He was a hard worker and never minded lending a helping hand for whatever someone needed help with. I will miss him coming over to our house. As a matter of fact he came over and visited with us this past Sunday after church. Our hearts go out to you during this difficult time. May God's grace help restore you and bring you hope and may the Lord's peace be with you in your time of sorrow.
