To the Samples family I send my prayers and thoughts to you in this time of need. I didn't know Mr Samples but I worked with Mike at HD. May the Lord bless you in this time of need. May he comfort your hearts and lift the burden off and bless you with the richest life of all. No words can ever bring him back, just remember all the good times and the good memories. God Bless you All.
