To my Family in Savannah, when I received the word that my loving cousin was going to be with the Lord, I felt sadden for a moment then I went to my daily prayer book. My encouragement was to read John 14:1-3. After I read those verses I was assured by God that my cousin was in a safe place where's there no more suffering, pain nor worrying. I love you cousin Sam. Ruby I'm so sorry for your loss may God continue to strengthen you and the rest of the family. (this is MaeLizer daugther Gloria in Virgina) I love you all and sorry I can't attend the funeral.

I will always love you Sam, I just can't believe you're not here, but God only takes the best. You're like a flower that blossom in the wind, you'll always have a place in my heart, and I know all things work together for the good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:28
