I did not know he had passed. I feel bad now for not keeping in tocuh with him. I use to make crosses for him out of wal mart bags and he liked them very much. I feel sad that he passed. He was a friend. I know he did wrong but I feel it was stuff that happend to him while in the war caused him to do it. I hope people learn to forgive him because we all have faws and no one if perdect!

Rod,Sandra,Marsha & families: Our family has been thinking of you as you go throught this time of loss.But also remembering those fun times we had together when we were kids; eating those delicious cookies with the best icing @ your Grandma & Grandpa's and eating the best mashed potatoes & watermelon @ Uncle Ruben and Aunt Lyle's. Those were fun times.
Mom & Dad(Bob & Reva) have some good memories of Dale & Shirley as they started out their families together in Kansas. Your parents lived by Uncle Ruben's farm. Mom remembers bouncing Sammy on her lap. We will always remember those good times our families shared.
You're in our prayers.

I just watched the video from the service in its entirety. It brought a smile to my face and tears to my eyes. What a wonderful thing to know that Sam did have so much happiness in his life in his early days. I wish that it had always been that way. Thank you for sharing your memories of Sam. I miss him so much.

I took care of Mr. Davis when I was a nursing student doing clinicals at the State Hospital. I've never meet a kinder soul than his. I cried when I had to leave him, he was so sweet. His last words to me were "I'll see you on the other side". That was fifteen years ago and I still remember that. May he finally rest in peace.

Class of 1966--As we graduated 43 years ago, none of us new what lie ahead. Some prospered, some weren't as fortunate. One thing that we are equal in, and that is death. To the remaining family, I pray God gives you the comfort you need. I will remember Sam as he played his guitar. Christine Barden

To Darrell's Family:
Thank you for allowing me, and the other staff from ASH, to care for Darrell ("Sam"). I know that the past has been filled with pain and sadness and that the present is filled with grief. I am so thankful that Darrell died with his family around him, knowing that you loved him, knowing that all things can heal with time. He is at peace now and no longer suffering from physical or mental illness. I hope that knowing this brings you peace and comfort. In the two years that I knew him, Darrell was a gentle soul, with a quiet manner and a quick wit lying underneath. He was loved by so many and will be missed. I am blessed to have known him and to have watched him pass on to a better place. Darrell will always be in my thoughts, as will all of you.
