I had the pleasure to visit with "Sam" from July until Thursday, November 13th. Sam was truly a blessing to me and I'm sure his family. He loved gospel music and as his Hospice Volunteer I had the opportunity and honor to play him gospel music at each visit. He thourghly enjoyed listening. We talked about fishing and he would "light" up with a smile when we talked about "Diesel", his dog. My condolences to Sam's entire family. I am sure God has another angel with Him today. God bless you all
