Samuel Judson Powers Sr.

I am so sad to hear of Sam's passing, he and Dee were like parents to me in La Plata. I know all the animals are glad to see him. You will always be missed.

Uncle Sam, I have such fond memories of you and my dad hunting and on the farm. You were a good man who always treated my parents well. You will be missed.

I love you Daddy. I am proud to be your daughter. Every second spent with you was time well spent. It feels like the heartache will never end. The wound of your loss is too raw. Lauren and Emily are certain you are with Buford and Abby and that gives them some peace. Throw a stick for them to fetch for us too. Sometimes I feel like I won't make it through this, but for the love and honor of you, I will. Thank-you for always making me feel loved and valued.
