Uncle Sammy!

Missing you, but I always have you in my heart!

2023 & Still REPP'N : J'ne Sais Quois!;)PAIX

To the family...I didn't know Sam until he started coming in the hospital to have fluids removed. I would always check him in, and made sure he would have warm blankets. During that short time we shared family information..I remember he said he was holding his Granddaughter on his lap, went to sleep, he awoke to blood on his forehead. He drifted off to sleep, she wanted him to wake up. She hit you in the head with a brush. He laughed, said he would not do that again. I shared the same...

Peace be multiplied to all of you!
It's been a while ,but you're not forgotten. Know that weepping endureth
for a night and joy will come in the morning . Be strong be encoureage, God does all things well, He makes no mistakes. Love ya! Smile !

Samuel,
You have been my family for over 40 years. There has been many times that I would meet someone and introduce myself as a Yarbrough . They would say "Do you know Sammie?" Then they would go on to share a funny story about you. I would say, "Yep, that's him, he's a character."
Although you have nieces and nephews by the dozens, you always remembered my childrens names and had a way of making them feel special. We will miss you

To the Family,
May God give you...

Uncle Sammy we will miss you !
God bless

Uncle Sammy,

I'm not going to say goodbye because you always have been and always will be in my heart.

Love you.

Kyle

Sammy,

One thing I'll always remember about you is when mom told you to cut your hair and you said," Jesus Christ had long hair, nobody told him to cut his". You were an original and I will carry you and your style in my heart forever.

Your little sis....Carole

Maxine,

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Sorry I can't make it to the service. Hope we can get together soon.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well-lived.
