My sincere condolences to Larry, Tammy and Ginger. Seeing her photo today brought back so many fond memories of the days we spent during the 70s when we were young and busy raising our children (my two boys and her two girls). Sammy had such an infectious smile, great laugh and fun personality. I enjoyed those days and remember how much she loved being a mother and truly loved Larry "the love of my life" she would say. I will miss her.

....I recall how much she enjoyed saying she was born on the Summer Solstice (June 21)... and I find it rather remarkable that Sammy
passed away on the Winter Solstice (Dec. 21).

So like Sammy, to do something memorable like that. All my best...

My heartfelt condolences to Larry, Tammy and Ginger on the passing of Sammy. I have many fond memories of the days we hung out together when our children were young. She had such a wonderful smile, laugh and charming voice. Seeing her photo brings back all of those memories. She loved her family more than anything and was so happy to be married to the "love of her life", Larry. I'm sure you will see her again "on the other side".

My heart goes out to you Larry and the girls, Tammy and Ginger. We loose contact with so many people, but we never forget Sammy's fun personality, and her love for her family and her love for make-up. She always looked beautiful. I new you from Murray when Larry would play church ball, and I would tend Tammy and Ginger. I hope you can find peace in your heart, through this difficult time, especially during the holidays.
