To the Sanchez Family. I am so sorry for your loss. I remember growing up being around you all and what a beautiful family. I have a lot of memory. I last seen “Ric” when I came into Fremont this passed May when I went into Whitey’s Diner and seen him come out the back. I said, Ric, is that you? Lol. He said, it sure is. And we proceeded to talk for a little while. So glad I got to see that smile and give him a hug. It had been a long time since I’ve seen him last, so I thank God for that opportunity to see him again. It was a shock to hear of his passing. My heart goes out to the entire Sanchez Family. My Family is sending to you all Love, Prayers and Condolences. Please remember that, Johnny E Sidney Jr. Loves each and every one of you and you all are in my hearts. Rest In Peace Brother! You Will Never Be Forgotten!
