Not sure what to say?

I knew Sam in High School. He was well regarded by the theater nerds (like me) as an affable fellow with good comic instincts (his Dogberry in "Much Ado About Nothing" was legendary).

She has been there from the day he arrived until he left us. I know your bond was epic and how much your heart aches.
