I started thinking about you today. I am not sure you were the same Sam who attended University of Charleston. The Sam I am thinking about was one of the best. RIP and be sure the barber trims your hair on the back of your head. You are remembered.

I Did Not Know Mr. Samples But I Know How Hard It Can Be To Lose A Loved One In Death So I Wanted To Say I Am Very Sorry For Your Loss. The Scripture That Has Given Me Comfort At Times Like This Is The One Found At Revelation 21:4 That Says, “And He Will Wipe Out Every Tear From Their Eyes, And Death Will Be No More, Neither Will Mourning Nor Outcry Nor Pain Be Anymore. The Former Things Have Passed Away.” So God Has Promised That In The Very Near Future We Will Never Have To Experience The Pain Associated With Death Anymore. I Pray That This Gives The Family Some Comfort During This Difficult Time.

I Am At A Loss For Words. I Loved Sam From The Time We Became Friends In 7Th Grade. He Was Awesome!! Through The Years, It Didn’T Matter If It Was A Few Days, Few Months Or Few Years We Would Always Pick Up Where We Left Off. Honestly, He Was Too Good For This World. Sam Had A Heart Of Gold & He Was One Who Never Judged, But Accepted Each Person As They Are. Life Will Never Be The Same Knowing He Is No Longer A Phone Call Away. I Love Him & I Know He Is Smiling Down From Heaven & Laughing At Tears Thinking To Himself “Hey I Am Not Hurting Anymore!” – May God Comfort Each Of You & Know That One Day, We Will All See Sam Again… So Many Sweet Memories…

Dear Uncle Howard, Aunt Mary, Roger, Brenda, Robin And Charlie …
I Know There Aren’T Many Things I Can Say To Lessen Your Grief But I Do Want To Tell Everyone That I Loved Sammy … So Much! I Especially Remember His Quick Wit, Infectious Laugh And The Way His Eyes Twinkled When He Was Getting Ready To Tell One Of His Silly Jokes – Or Relate A Past Adventure Or Share A Bit Of Harmless Family Gossip … I Remember Sitting With Brenda And Sam Talking The Night Away… He Was Truly Kind And Very Compassionate Towards Others.

Sam Was Such A Wonderful Person And He Met His “Challenges” With Such Grace And Style. We Were Able To Reconnect A Few Months Before His Death Thanks To The Wonders Of The Internet And I Was Truly Happy When He Would Message Me Or Write A Comment On Something I Had Posted. I Can’T Imagine Being So Sick And Still Having The Will Power To Keep Positive, Have A Zest For Life And Continue Receiving New Treatments.

I Have Faith We Will All Be Together Again One Day – God Promises Us That! What Rejoicing There Must Have Been In Heaven – Seeing Grandpa Burvin, Uncle Lowell And Daddy As Well As All Our Other “Family” That Have Passed Over – Not To Mention Meeting Grandmother!!

I Know Your Hearts Are Broken (Mine Is Too)! How Sad Sam Would Be To Know His Death Caused Us Such Grief! I’Ve Heard It Said That Grief Is The Price We Pay For Loving Each Other. It’S A Huge Price But So Worth It! I Will Keep You In My Prayers!!

I Love You All … Deb
