Nicole & Nathan: everyday I look at your dads picture. My heart breaks for you two! I think of our childhood and all of the fun we had, and of course the fights too. Living next door to each other he was more like a brother to me. Buddy would watch over me like a brother, and was mean to me like a brother :-)I could tell you many many stories of all of the fun things and dum things we did. One day I will. After we both got married, we kind of lost touch. We would talk every once in a while. I am so happy we had the chance to talk a couple of times a few weeks before this horrible day! Buddy was way to young to leave us, and their will always be empty spot. If there is anything I can help with out with, please let me know.
I sorry to hear about Sam's passing. I found out late from another friend. I grew up with him but haven't seen him in many years. My prayers are with the family

Dearest Sam, I found out Wednesday night you were with our Parents. After hours of tears, I knew you were either playing bingo with our Mom's or hearing fish stories with our Dad's. But it really doesn't matter, as long as you won't have one drop of pain in your life again my old friend. To say I love you and miss you is an understatement. DG

Dear Nicole and Nathan, my heart goes out to you. May God embrace both of you in his arms until you fine peace with all of this. There is a scare on your heart, but in time it with mend, but never forgotten. Love You!
Sam....to young to go.... keep an eye on them, they still need you.
Sam was our friend, although we did not see him that much. We enjoyed many years of camping, canoeing, card playing, eating, and laughing. We have fond memories of our time together.
Sam loved his children and spoke highly of his beloved grandchildren, Landon and Adreana. Sam did his best to be the "best" dad and grandson he could. His family will miss him.
Sam took Jeff and I for who we were, and rarely did we hear a judgmental comment or criticism of others leave his mouth. His tattoo might have said trust no one, but we believe he did trust in the One who matters. We pray for his soul and hope he found True Peace.
Sam was a wonderful man, kind, gentle, fun and caring . . . we friends were all supposed to go together, but Sam beat us to the punch. God was looking for a new greeter at the gates and who better than Sam to fill the position. He will be missed tremendously. All our love to the family.
