Lisa, so sorry to hear about your loss. Was looking forward to seeing you at the pig roast. A sudden loss like this is hard to understand. Nothing prepares you for what you have to go through. Love you guys.

What a beautiful, kind, gentle soul Sam was. I don´t think I´ve ever known someone with such warmth. I´ve had the honor to know Sam for 12 years or so. In that time we shared a friendship based on living our lives for Christ. He was my brother and I will miss his presence dearly. See you when I get there bro.

Sam was a good man and helped my dad on our farm as a teenager a long time ago. We shared some teenage years and laughs growing up. Praying you are in God´s hands. Prayers to all the family as well. RIP. Gone too soon!! You will be missed.
