Juana Bertha Sanchez
March 8, 1935 - June 17, 2024
Laredo, Texas

Our HEARTS were crushed and sore
We did our duty to the end
Till we could do no more
In tears we watch you descending
We watched you fade away
And though our hearts were breaking
We knew you could not stay
You left behind some aching hearts
That loved you MOST SINCERE
We never shall and never will
Forget you,
Mother Dear
