My deepest condolences.  May these few words from the Holy Scriptures bring you comfort in your time of grief...

John 11:32-45

32 And so Mary, when she arrived where Jesus was and caught sight of him, fell at his feet, saying to him: “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” 33 Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping and the Jews that came with her weeping, groaned in the spirit and became troubled; 34 and he said: “Where have YOU laid him?” They said to him: “Lord, come and see.” 35 Jesus gave way to tears. 36 Therefore the Jews began to say: “See, what affection he used to have for him!” 37 But some of them said: “Was not this [man] that opened the eyes of the blind man able to prevent this one from dying?”

38 Hence Jesus, after groaning again within himself, came to the memorial tomb. It was, in fact, a cave, and a stone was lying against it.39 Jesus said: “TAKE the stone away.” Martha, the sister of the deceased, said to him: “Lord, by now he must smell, for it is four days.”40 Jesus said to her: “Did I not tell you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?” 41 Therefore they took the stone away. Now Jesus raised his eyes heavenward and said: “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 True, I knew that you always hear me; but on account of the crowd standing around I spoke, in order that they might believe that you sent me forth.” 43 And when he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice: “Laz´a·rus, come on out!” 44The [man] that had been dead came out with his feet and hands bound with wrappings, and his countenance was bound about with a cloth. Jesus said to them: “Loose him and let him go.”

45 Therefore many of the Jews that had come to Mary and that beheld what he did put faith in him;

Hey buddy, It's Halloween!!!!! I miss your crazy ass big time.. I'm in the Midwest and ready to come home. We have shitty teams in Diego now. Norv Turner has to go and the Padres, well that is another story. As they say in Diego, We we get there there next year. Peace out my friend and have fun in the big blue sky........ Remember, steak well done, are you serious................... Peace

Listening to your favorite band, U2. I can't explain to anyone how much I miss you.  You are such a wonderful person.

The Outfield. How much fun we had listening to them. I think of you every day, Sam.

I haven't written in a while.  I had to get a grip on the fact that you were gone.  During the last year I learned only think of the times I had with you, not the fact that you were gone. I will never forget the time at the Inn at Morro Bay, and you were carrying a full load of plates and silverware on a tray above you head coming full speed at the door.  I held my foot on the door ......all hell broke loose.  We laughed about that for years.  You are my best friend. You will always be my best friend.  We made a promise to one another.  80 plus, sitting on a porch and saying "We always knew we would end up here together". I sit up at night thinking "if you were here I would have talked to you at least once today".  That world is gone.  However, I know I will see you one day.  I love you. Peace to your family.  My prayers are always with them. -Sarah

Although very difficult and I struggle with your loss, I must bid a Brother farewell… with the hopes that someday we will meet again. I regret deeply that we did not keep in touch as much as we hoped, but God plans took us down different life paths. He witnessed what we could do together as brothers, but he wanted us to take these journeys on our own… to grow and share our gifts with others. Your path took you on adventures around the world. He gave you a gift of life, love, and compassion that you shared with everyone you touched. He blessed you with a loving family, and he knew he could count on you to love them completely and take care of them, as they needed you.

 

You always look after me during the times we had together. Trying to figure out life as teenagers, you were my Brother. As we leaned on each other through the good time and bad, our lives were forever bonded. It is that time that I realized how much we went through and how much you meant to me. And it is this time that I struggle with you loss.

 

Even today, you are looking after me…. Showing me that life is too short, and we should treasure what we have … every day.

 

God blessed me to have you in my life for that period in my life. Now you are home with him … I guess he missed you too.

 

Our memories will be with me always….

 

Your Brother…. Wayne

Purple ,gold and a little bit of white on the walls of my brother's bedroom. It looked like a locker room but very clean and the true haven for the "three amigos". Always discussing football, girls, wrestling, girls and GIRLS!!! 

The three of them were truly inseperably for years!

 

I am deeply saddened of Sam's passing because he was like a brother (and a bother) to me. We promised that when I joined the Air Force that we would get together someday and talk about my new endevours. It never really happened!

 

But, as much as I hurt, my brothers hurt the most.  All my brothers have had a very personal and meaningful relationship with Sam. He will live in their souls forever!!!!

 

I don't think that Wayne, Pat, Bryan or Joe's (not my brother,but should have been)memories  of Sam will ever fade...nor do I pray that it will.  They had some very, very, special times together that I can't, nor am able to explain. I now believe in the word "brotherhood".

 

How can we keep his memory alive????  Hmmmm....

Wood pallets spelling the name Sam on fire at the beach????

Surfing ??? Going to Padre/Charger games and tailgating????

 

I know I can't afford that..but how about smiling when you don't want to, giving a helping hand to somebody who needs it or just be a listener...he was good at all of these things.

 

Purple, Gold and and a little white in a bedroom wall...but LANCER SPIRIT FOREVER!!!!!!

" I'll lend you for a while a child of mine, He said, for you to love the while he lives - and mourn when he is dead,

It may be six or seven years - or twenty-two or three, But, will you, till I can call him back, take care of him for me?

He'll bring his charm to gladden you, and, should his stay be brief, you'll have his lovely memories as solace for your grief.

I cannot promise he will stay, since all from life return.

But, there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn. I've looked the wide world over in my search for teachers true,

And, from the throngs that crowd lifes lanes, I have selected you.

Now, will you give him all your love, nor think the labor vain, nor hate me when I come to call to take him back again?

I fancied that I heard them say,

"Dear Lord, Thy Will be done."

For all the joy the child shall bring, the risk of grief we'll run.

We'll shelter him with tenderness, we'll love him while we may,

And, for the happiness we've known, forever grateful stay.

But, should the angels call him much sooner than we planned,

We'll brave the grief that comes and try to understand."
