Dear Marty, Toni, and Smitty,
Words can not express how much Sam meant to all of us. There are so many special memories to recall and I thank you all for that. Sam was very lucky to have such a wonderful, and loving family. There wont be a day that goes by without thinking of him. We will all miss him, all of the time. You are in my thought and prayers.
Much Love, Cousin Denise

Toni...
I just heard the news of Sam today, and my heart is breaking for you, Marty and Smitty. I just can't imagine your shock and sadness.

Frank and I will be praying constantly for the peace that only God can give as you go...
