Diane Marie (Sanchez) Buxton

"When tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart, for every time you think of me, I will be right there in your heart."

She enjoyed gardening, listening to old 60's music, dancing and cooking. Most of all, she loved the Lord and spending time with her family and friends.
