George,
We so enjoyed meeting you and spending time with you and Sam at the reunion. After meeting with Sam in South Bend, we had hoped to get together with you two in the UP. I guess we will just have to get together and sing with the angels. Unfortunately, our schedule does not permit us the time to make the trip to Rapid River, but we will hold you up in prayer at that time.. Sam was a treasure and will be missed by all who knew her.... it is a blessing that she knew the Lord.

Blessings,
Pat and Bob

George, We were both shocked and saddened to
learn of Sam's passing. We were friends for a very long time and will miss her. We've been praying for you and Sam's family. May God heal your hearts knowing that Sam is experiencing what she longed for ; meeting her Savior face to face..

I was a classmate of Sam's. It seems like a short time ago I was talking to Sam at our class re-
union. She was so vibrant and full of energy. I am so sorry for your loss and know that God is taking care of her now.

We are so sorry for your loss. I can still see 'Sam" at our 50th class reunion last fall. I know she enjoyed seeing everyone again, having classmates sign her year book, taking pictures, laughing and then laughing again. It was great seeing her and catching up after so many years. Sam was a grand person. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

I was surely shocked and saddened to learn of Sam's passing. So sad to hear but grateful for the opportunity to reconnect with her at our 50th class reunion last year. She stayed in touch with her classmates since then and for that I am grateful and proud to say we were friends since grade school. Condolences George, she will be sorely missed I am sure.
