Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him and he shall direct your path.
There is a empty seat at my table that I can physical see. There is a space in my heart that is full of memories. I watch you grow, mature and seek your dreams. And now suddenly you are gone. I'll miss you,but the memories that we had share shall always be with me

Words could never express how I feel about your loss I know how it feels to loose a sibling,I miss Dee so as you will miss Fatty, however those sweet,sweet memories will sustain you as well as keeping your hands in God's hand. I too had many questions "why" but God never make mistakes and I'm holding on to the faith that if we trust and do his will we will see them all again.

Samuel was in my US History class for two weeks at Georgia State University. We had a nice conversation after class on the Thursday before Labor Day Weekend. I could tell right away that he was a kind and gentle person with a great sense of humor. I am so shocked and sorry that he was taken so quickly. I can't imagine how you all must feel, but I just wanted you to hear that he seemed happy and well in his first few weeks in school here. I am deeply sorry for your loss.

I was so shocked when I turned on the news and saw Sam Jr on TV. It took awhile for it to process because it felt like it hit home in VA & GA. He's in a better place now with the rest on the Angels. May you Rest In Peace Samuel Blizzard Jr.
