We would like to give our sincere and deepest condolences to the entire Connor family. Sam you will be missed by us deeply. You were a true and great lifelong friend. I still remember the first time I met you in second grade at Forbes Elementary. We had allot of fun times over the years. I do find comfort that you are now with the Lord, and Jesus in heaven. It also must be comforting for you to be with your father again. Until I see you in heaven someday Sam enjoy your new beginning in eternal ever lasting life. May God bless you Sam.
