So sorry to hear that my first cousin once removed has gone to meet his heavenly father. I met Sam & Donna in 2003, here in Jackson, Mississippi, at the CLOER NATION-WIDE REUNION at my home. It was such a pleasure to get to meet him and other family members for the first time. My dad would have been so happy to have met him, but dad passed in 1982. Sam will be missed. Blessings to all the remaing family.
Perlene and Norman I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. My condolences to you and your family. Sending prayers for all, love you.
Rest In Peace Uncle Sam. . .
