Dear Sinisi family,You have no idea of the love I held in my heart for Sammy. He brought me joy every time I saw him or
thought of him. Having dinner with him a year or two ago was the highlight of my time in Fairmont. He gave me a bottle of wine and I held it as I would a great treasure. He too was treasure. Several times in the last six months a small voice told me to call and express my love. I did not do
it and I am oh so sorry now that I didnt.
My sincere condolences and Love.
