Dearest Zemurray family,
We offer heartfelt sympathies for our cousin Sam. I only had to opportunity to meet him as a child at my Uncle Sam &Aunt Sarah's home on Audubon place. We pray for your family to find peace in prayers sent to you from your New Orleans family.

Sam,
All your friends from the Webb School will miss your gentle nature and sly sense of humor. You have given us many great memories since our first meeting in 1958. At least we have had the pleasure of your company for all these years and will cherish them forever. Pat, we are sorry for your loss; if we can be of some assistance, please call on us.

"Mr. Sam" has been a longtime friend of our family, and we will miss him greatly. He was a tireless supporter of the Registered Polled Hereford herd that my Dad worked to develop at Bethesda Home for Boys between 1988 and 2008.

Sam,

"Z" I am writing this as though I am talking to you.

I just want you to know how much I enjoyed our younger days in New Orleans and visiting you in Savannah.

Have a good trip my friend, I will miss you.

Please tell Pat to take care.
