Sally, Gary and family- I just learned of this heartbreaking news. Sam was one of my favorite students and he always warmed the room with his kind and humorous personality. He seemed to have a special place in everyone's heart who spent any time with him. I am so sorry for your loss, I will forever cherish the time that I got to spend with him.

Message from John Page

Dear Sally, Gary, and Clara, I very much regret that I cannot be at Our Lady, Queen of Peace, this evening, but I will be joined with you in prayer at that time. Much love, John

God, lover of souls,
you hold dear what you have made
and spare all things, for they are yours.
Look gently on your servant Sam,
and by the blood of the cross
forgive his failings and faults.

Remember the faith of those who mourn
and fulfill their longing for that day
when all will be made new again
in Christ, our risen Lord,
who lives and reigns with you for ever and ever.
Amen

Message from Ken and Nancy, Maya and Talia

Ken and I had the great pleasure of finally meeting Sam and absorbing some of that charm and warmth we had heard so much about. Sally, Gary and Clara, you took no time at all finding a place in our hearts and Sam was right in there from the beginning too. We knew he was a part of you then and we know he always will be. All our love, Nancy, Ken, Maya and Talia.

Sam -- we are sending prayers and light for your journey to God's embrace, the wholeness we all seek in our early existence -- that so often escapes and eludes us is yours now. Know that you will be remembered and cherished forever.

Send some of that grace and blessings to us as we grieve your too early passing. Rest in Jesus' loving arms and know the peace that exceeds all earthly consolations and embraces! Your light now shines!
