Lloyd, Mary Ann and Sally, my heart just breaks to hear of the tragic death of Sammie. I will always remember the kind, caring and loving person he was. He has definitely left his mark in this world and many people will feel the loss of his presences. There is no question in my mind that he is with his heavenly father and will now live in eternal happiness, and you will one day see him again.
My prayer for all of you is that God will grant you comfort, strength, healing and peace.
