Doris...I wish I was as good with words as you are to express Jan's and my feelings. Sam was a new friend through our common membership at Greenhaven and he had become a good friend and neighbor to us. We wish we were there to offer our condolences in person, but we know you have many friends and family as well as your faith to get you through this sad time.

It was a pleasure to know and work with Sam--he was a gentle and caring man. My sympathies to the family.

When someone so significant leaves us it's natural to feel the void. Until you meet again, I hope your memories of all he modeled and shared remind you of how very much he loved you and how blessed you were to have him for this time on earth.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.
