Please accept our deepest sympathy in Sam’s passing.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Sam’s family. God Bless.
I read of the loss of your dear loved one, and would like to extend my sincere condolences. May you be comforted by the promise found in God’s Word, the Bible, that one day our earth will be a place free of pain, suffering, sickness and death (Revelation 21:3-5). Those words were written to bring comfort to us and I hope that they bring all of you a measure of comfort as you cope with the difficult days ahead (Philippians 4:6,7). May I assure you, I am not trying to give or change your religion. The pain of loss is felt, regardless of religion.
Dear Andrea and James,
Laura and I were so saddened with the news of Sam’s passing. I will always remember Sam for his sense of humor, his commitment to family, and friendly nature. Whether I was having my car repaired at Monroe Muffler, or sitting around a table at the Super Bowl, Sam was always so passionate about everything he did.
You have been and will continue to be in our prayers.
Jim and Laura Bewick
