To the family, look to the hills from which comes your help; all your help comes from the Lord. Sammie was a beacon of light to our district in many ways especially in the athletic department. His presence is already missed. Take it one day at a time.

To my brother. I miss you daily. 30 years of known you has been the best. You were the best father and uncle that I could ever ask for. You loved my kids as they were your own. You were a sunshine to everyone that cross your path. I will hold on to the memories that you made special to all of us. You put up a big fight, and you won, no more sickness, no more pain. We will miss you, but I promise you, your girl my sister will be ok. Your last words to her were you loved her and she love you too. I'm going to miss the gatherings of you dancing and playing spade. Brother you can now rest and we as a family will take it from here. I Love You

Buggie, I never imagined that our final conversation would truly be our last. I am grateful for the hug and the last I love you. Our families have a long history together, and I will miss you deeply, little brother. May God's grace and mercy be with you. Sincerely, Theresa Marshall Carmichael.
