Dear Jean and family,
My prayers are with you at this time. So glad you and Sammy came for our 50th OLPH reunion. He and I attended school for all 12 years, first at Most Holy Name and then OLPH. He was a dear friend and a true gentleman. Sincerely, Sylvia Calleja Gordon 1955 OLPH

Dear Jean and family, being Sam's Secretary for over 9 years was truly a wonderful time, not only did I have the opportunity to work with a true gentleman who was a gentle man of integrity and goodness, but I was given the opportunity to meet you, Jean, and your children and grandchildren, Sam's legacy to all who knew him. My heart and prayers are with you and the family. May God bless you with His peace and comfort.

I remember Sam as being one of the kindest most considerate man I had ever met. No matter when I saw him he remained the same with the same calm demeanor. I met Sam thru my deceased husband Jim Kelly. My heart and prayers go out to you the family.

Dear Jean, Ida and I were deeply sorry to read Sammy's obituary. It was a shock to us. You know Sammy was a good friend and a good man.We love you guys and are sad that he is gone at such a young age. We have moved to Ga. so we don't have the contact we would like but be sure we will be praying for you and Sam during the memorial. God bless you and the family, Cas & Ida
