May her memory be a blessing.
I know you’ve already gotten your wings in heaven.
Sam – we love you so much, as you loved us. You and
Barney treated me and my girls like family. I am devastated. I have been looking for you and Barney and was planning a trip to NC to find you. Every time I cross a bridge I think of you. I think especially of the time when I drove you to Titan’s baby shower. I love you and I’m so grateful and blessed to have had you as my dear friend. Selfishly, I just needed one more hug and I love you.
My condolences to Barney, Jason, and Grandbabies.
Treamel and girls!
My condolences to Sam’s daughter and family as well. I know they live in Europe and Sam was overjoyed with her granddaughter and went to visit.
