There is still such an empty feeling where Sam is concerned. His birthday passed and it didn't feel right. He is still being missed just as much as ever!

I did not know Sam real well. Something that did come through clearly when talking with him though, was his love and dedication to his family. Sam's wife and children will be in my prayers.
