I´m so sorry to hear about Sam´s passing and your loss. Though it´s been many years since we have been together, I have never forgotten him, one of my three best buddies at Florida Southern College. My prayers are with you all as you adjust to life without your beloved husband, father and friend. What a comfort to know that we will meet again! With love and fond memories,

So very sorry to hear of your loss. Sam was ten years older than me and I never got to know him very well. But I remember Aunt Malina and Uncle Frank (actually cousins, but because of the age difference we called them uncle and aunt). Please accept my condolences.
