Phyllis, I am so sorry to hear about Sammy, he was a mess, I went to school with you, but, I partied with Sammy, he was always so much fun kept us all laughing, he had a smile that would light up a room. I had not seen Sammy for years, but thought of him often. I truly am sorry for the loss to you and his family.
