My deepest condolences to Denise and Sam's family tree. I will never forget my brother Sam he was the most important person in my life. A true friend who will tell you if you're in the wrong instead of backing you up when you are wrong. He is a kind and intelligent soul. I say he is because he will always be by your side no mater what as he was in the flesh. May my brother truly rest in eternal peace. I truly thank the Lord for allowing me to share some of our life time together and allow me to carry wonderful memories until it's my time to meet up with my brother again on the other side. I end with may our lord provide the strength needed to couple with our MVP "Most Valuable Person" in our life moving on.
