So sorry to hear about Modesto. Will always remember our days as kids in the neighborhood, living across the street from y’all. I lived in Magnolia for 25 years and saw your Father a couple of times, had nice conversations. I know we’re all scattered now, but my memories of those childhood years are really special. May your wonderful memories of him carry you through this difficult time. Hugs to you all. Yrene

Lelo, as my nephew, Trynton, called him all his life - I think because he couldn't pronounce abuelo, (Grandpa Mo), was a kind, respectful, strong and genuine soul. I cannot think of a better person for my nephew to have had as one of his role models than his great-grandfather, Mo Sanchez. I remember when I was working at Flatonia Food Mart and Lelo would come to the store he would say, "David, how are you?" We'd carry on a conversation as if we were longtime friends rather than six decades away in age. He was a great conversationalist  and I always loved to hear how he and Mamal Joan were doing. I could always count on Trynton to tell me how his Lelo and Mamal Joan were doing, especially, what his Lelo was doing with his "toy truck."  I remember the birthday partys that I was fortunate to be invited to for Mr. Mo because they were legendary. I also remember the time Mamal Joan and Lelo gave me a ride back to Flatonia from a get-together in Waelder, the kindness they always showed, and the love they shared was even more legendary and sweet. I respected him very much.

To all the family, especially, Mrs. Joan Horn, you are in my thoughts and prayers, and I extend my condolences to you all. 

Thank you, Mr. Sanchez, for gracing each of our lives with your presence.  God speed sir, and may you rest in the eternal hands of the Lord.
