Your Loving Family and the sun will set for SACHS-MARTIN F. In Loving Memory February 7, 1907 March 1, 1999 You always said that time goes by faster as you get older but now that I've lost you I realize even more that the time I had with you went by too quickly. It's hard to believe you've been gone nine years. It's even harder to believe it's been nearly fourteen years since you came to live with us. You were so grateful and considerate, never complaining, never making demands, and our respect for one another never wavered.

You earned and deserved every bit of love and care given to you. It pleased you when I left twice a day to be with mom. This was only made possible because of Bob's willingness and ability to take over for me. In the end, you spoke your final words and they filled me with pride. It didn't take long to realize that you gave me a gift that keeps on giving.

In spite of the years you've been gone, time had not robbed me of my memories.

PETERS Spencer Douglas Peters In Loving Memory of Our Brother and Son Always keeping you close in our thoughts, our hearts, and our prayers. We remember you always. Love you So Much, Mom, Dad, Sam, and Libby RENFROCon suelo. She lived a life of steadfast energy.

Consuelo Renfro died in Albuquerque February 11, 2008. She would have been 88 on Leap Day. Preceded in death by five sisters and brothers; Melba, Henrietta, Virginia, Dolores, and Tom; her husband Fred; and daughter, Babette. She is survived by two brothers; Lawrence and Jose Chavez; four children; Tom, Alfredo, Frances, and Stan; seven grandchildren; three great-grandchildren, and the host who knew her, for she thought the less of no one. It is appropriate that she died by Saint Valentine, since her heart encompassed mankind.

As modest as a flower, as clean as the Oregon rain she loved, some of her favorite memories were: making her first batch of cookies for her family during the Depression, using only one egg, counting the coins she earned as a waitress to help pay for.
