Sammy D. Cheek

Sammy...AKA... Rick to his close friends, was my best friend in high school and also though basic training because we joined the Army together. I still think of you, Ricky, and some of the crazy things we did together, and John/ Joe and also Mike. Oh the times we had. I'll never forget them, nor will I ever forget you, Joe, or Mike. I love you guys...my Brothers.

I am so saddened by this news...the loss will always be felt as a huge hole that will never be filled. I should have known that something was terribly wrong, in fact I did sense it because it had been so quiet all these months and the million emails I sent went unread...which really was unusual.

I met Sam when the General was having heart surgery all those years back and we were fast and solid friends ever since- a relationship that was cherished. I feel I know you so well Derick...

Dear Derrick & Amelia,

I am so sorry to hear of your great loss. You and your family are in my heartfelt thoughts and prayers.

Best, Vicky Miller
