How blessed was I to have a wonderful loving uncle like Sam. He really was the perfect Uncle. I sure will miss him. One simple but heartwarming memory I have of Sam was his deep husky voice. It always made me smile how he would TRY to lighten it when he would talk to children. With love-

An Irish Proverb
Without sorrow, the heart would never learn the meaning of joy. Without tears, our eyes would never see what we hold inside. Without darkness, we would have no reason to look to the light of heaven.
