A Strong Man ! No longer could i see through my fathers eyes,because he was no longer here,then along came a strong man to wipe away my tear. Like a new father ,came this strong man,not to take my dads place but to give a helping hand.He has always been here through thick and thin,no matter what the problem was again and again.Who is this strong man?Who could it be?My Uncle Sam and he means the world to me!I know i was blessed with this strong man,and now it is my turn to lend a strong hand!

My deepest sympathy to the family of Samuel E. Jones. May God’s mercy grant you peace and comfort during your time of loss. Remember to always look to the Father, for he will never forsake you. May beautiful memories give you strength at this difficult time. I will remember Sam for always making you laugh.
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
