I wish to extend my heartfelt condolences to Sammy's family. It has been many years since I visited Sammy. I have fond memories of him from my childhood and that will remain. Godspeed.

Sending sincere sympathy and letting you know my heart goes out to you at this time of great sadness. Please know that God cares about how you feel and invites you to let him help you. (Jeremiah 29:12) . . .And YOU will certainly call me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to YOU. .

I did not personally ever meet Mr. Sam.. but knew alot about him from his son Rob. Rob was very proud of Mr. Sam and talked about him to me quite often. Rob asked me several months ago to add Sam to our prayer list. Today I am praying for. you, the Family. But rest assured by Sam's testimony that he is now at peace with NO More pain. May we be evermore thankful for the promise of Eternal Life with God because of the love for His Son Jesus. Beauland gained a new member today. PRAISE unto God.
