We do not know where to begin. We are all at a loss for words. One thing we have to do is muster up the strength and courage in honor of our Gilberto Sanchez ,He is and will continue to be the true meaning and definition of what true faith and love looks like . Our warrior was the glue that kept us all together. A man with so much love, integrity ,compassion, Knowledge , wisdom, nobleness , beauty ,huggable, kind, passionate and the list goes on forever .He was a natural leader in everything that he did .So natural ,that he was like a big tree that has been spreading his roots throughout his lifetime and will continue to spread his love and water to others for generations to come . He was the beat advice giver and he had impacted so many people's lives .His soul and spirt was an example for all of us. The light that he left will always live within us. Our father Gilberto's passion for life was like his passion for basketball . He played the game of life like he played basketball. Thinking of everyone else, before he thought of himself . Passing the ball around making sure everyone was involved . Our dad is the true definition of what selflessness is .His quiet and calm presence will always live in the hearts of his family .Heros get remember , but legends never die. We love you APA so much .Until we meet again our beautiful Angel .
