Sandra Cantu Laid To Rest
Tracy, CA- This morning, Family and Friends of murdered 8 year old, Sandra Cantu, gathered for a private funeral service.
An
Sandra’s aunt, Angie Chavez, read a poem written by the bubbly, doe-eyed princess we all saw for the last time skipping down her street. Sandra’s classmates were then invited to say goodbye to her at her casket.
The funeral proceeded to Sandra’s final resting place, The Tracy Mausoleum.
Tomorrow afternoon, a public memorial which is expected to draw thousands, will be held in Sandra’s honor. The public service is scheduled for 1 p.m. Thursday at the West High School gym, 1775 W. Lowell Ave. While the facilities will accomodate almost 8000 guests, there is only parking for 500. Several shuttles have been contracted for the event and is expected to stave off the parking issue.
The Editor, Readers, and staff of Blink on Crime wish to offer our prayers and condolences to Sandra’s friends and family.
AND, to us. We never got the opportunity to meet this special young lady; but we love her and seek justice on her behalf regardless.
