When my mother, Shirley Samples, married Pops my only expectation was that he would keep her happy. Pops did and then some! He also gave his love freely to my sister and I, steeped in Godly wisdom. The time spent with Pops will never be forgotten. His memorial is a living one. May our children say the same of us.

Pop Samples was a true Pioneer and Prophet of Almighty God. His legacy will always remain dear in my heart. He ran the race well and passed the torch to many spiritual sons and daughters throughout the body of Christ. I thank God for allowing our paths to cross. Until we meet again!
