Dianne and family, my heart is so heavy, and I know yours is too. Mike had just commented on my FB post just 2 days ago about Sam. Mike’s comment said, “He was a GREAT man!” Well, I’m telling you that Sam has now helped welcome another GREAT man through those pearly gates of Heaven. Just know that you all are in my heart, and I am sending prayers up on your behalf for comfort, peace, and strength to get through these next few days and weeks. All my love to you and the family. ❤️
