I went to Southwest with Sam and he was one of my best friends. He was there when you needed a friend and listen to your problems.

If there is anything I can do for you please let me know. I would like to send a donation to a charity, but did not know if you had a specific charity to send donations too. Please let me know.

I HAD THE PLEASURE OF KNOWING SAM YEARS AGO WHEN HE WAS A MANGER AT KROGER, I WAS IN BEAUTY SCHOOL. AFTER SAM LEFT KROGER AND BECAME MANGER AT ECKARD WE BECAME CLOSE FRIENDS. SAM WAS LIKE A BIG BROTHER TO ME I COULD GO TO HIM WHEN EVER I NEED ADVICE OR JUST SOMEONE TO TALK TOO. SAM WAS VERY DIFFERENT FROM MOST YOUNG MEN THAT I MET, HE ALWAYS TOOK THE TIME OUT TO FIND OUT THE PROBLEM AND ALWAYS BROKE THINGS DOWN SO I COULD SEE THEM IN A DFFERENT PREPECTIVE. I LEARNED AN LOT OF WHAT LIFE WAS ABOUT THROUGH SAM, HE LIVED HIS LIFE TO THE FULLEST. MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU,THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF MY LIFE!

LOVE LISA
