I remember hearing Sam singing in the kitchen to some really great old songs on the radio. Very sweet.

We'll always remember Sam's "warm" smile. We'll also remember all the "good" times & parties in the past years. Our Deepest Sympathy to Marge and the entire Ranola Family - may their many good memories sustain them thru this difficult time. Also, to our niece Renee (Joey) and our Nephew Tom (Selena) we will remember your Grandfather in our prayers and will always remember his smiling face. Although it is difficult to say goodbye - Know that he will always be near - He'll only be a prayer away.
God Bless! Love, Gerri & Frank
