Dear John,

From the land of things done and left undone, I rediscovered the email notice of your father's death in November. Late as it is, I wanted to express my condolences to you on this loss. My own father died in October, 1999, and I miss him still and think of him often.

I wish you comfort, consolation and good health in this new year.

Dear Margie & your brothers,
I just found out about Mr S's passing from a friend he used to coach when we were kids. I'm sorry he's gone but grateful to have known you all. Your house always felt very welcoming & comfortable & it's wonderful to look back on those times. - Robin Bush

Our hearts go out to the Samp family at this difficult time. Ed Samp was a remarkable man, a devoted father and husband, and also a member of this country's greatest generation who displayed remarkable valor in WW II. We felt privileged to know him.

Dear Samp Family,
I was very saddened to hear of the passing of the beloved Samp patriarch. As most of you know, he and I were the Presidents of each other's fan clubs, and Ed will be greatly missed. May the consolation of the Holy Spirit comfort you at this time of grief.
