Sam Martin was a good man, and his special sense of humor will be remembered by all who ever met him. He and I shared the same age and I have enjoyed his friendship since we were both young men. My sincerest condolences to his wife, son and daughters in this time of difficult understanding of loss of loved ones. Rest In Peace Sam. You will be missed.

Dear Penny and Family,
We share your sorrow and grief over Sam's death. He was a pleasant man who we feel surely loved his family as you loved him. We shall remember your visits with us and the cheerful conversation always present. Though grief and sadness will visit you especially in coming days, let us thank God for the joy and time he shared with each of us and we with him. We love you. You have our deepest sympathy.

My heart breaks for the family, to have known Sam was an adventure.
He will always be remembered for his wicked sense of humor, and his teasing.
His journey is over, but he will live on through his children.

I don't think that there will ever be words to express the deep sorrow that is felt. My thoughts and prayers are with you at the time of your loss. I pray that the Lord will keep you in his hands and comfort you in your time of sorrow. Sam was a very sweet person and knew my family from way back, especially my deceased father. I love you all.

Melvin: Not only have you lost your brother Sam, but you also lost your dear wife Mildred who was also your best friend, and within hours of each other. Words could ever describe the pain you must feel. BUT, as the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. Please accept my deepest sympathies.

Sam, I will miss you and your crazy joking ways! There was NEVER a time that I saw you that you didn't have a joke to tell or a wisecrack to make, but that was your way and I know that if you didn't pick you didn't like me and with all your picking you made me feel loved.
Penny, Michele, DeeCee,Welford and family, I just want you to know that I love you guys and Sam will ALWAYS be with us. As Penny said tonight as long as we have our minds and our heart is still beating all we have to do is remember all the crazy times and he will be with us. If there is ANYTHING I can do please don't hesitate to call.
Love Always, Becky Martin Gaskins and family
