Dear Bev, Jacqi, Brett, Brady, and Jared,
My deepest sympathy and love to each one of you. Sammy was so dear, loved and respected. I will truly miss my gentle and sweet cousin. I loved him and his great smile! I miss him sending me blonde jokes and calling me his favorite blonde cousin! I pray God's strength and grace, comfort and memories to sustain each of you. I know Sammy's life was well-lived and God has said to him, "Well done, good and faithful servant".
All my love, hugs, kisses to each of you,
