We rejoice in the good times we have shared with "Cuz" and family. We also rejoice knowing that Sam is in a far better place than the remainder of us who are left behind. We love you Lucy and family. We will be praying to the "God of all comfort" that you may find solace and healing of the wounds of sorrow caused by Sam's homegoing.
