Ted, Tammy & Delany, We were
so extremely saddened when we heard what had happened. We loved any time we got to spend with Sam. He would seek Jere out
in a crowd (of course they were the 2 tallest there!) We always get a kick out of the stories Dylan would tell us. & still
do. Sam will be missed more than anyone can ever say. He was so sweet, polite, funny and what a handsome guy! Please
know you're in our hearts, thoughts and prayers.

remember me but I'm Ted Gitt's son. I said Sam I know who you are and didn't think you remembered me. I said I
remember you from being in kindergarten with Austin. Then he asked if I wanted to sell my jeep to him. He will be dearly missed.

Dennie
"Bird" Wickard & Family _______________
May you and your family
be embraced, comforted and sheltered by prayer and love from those you know and by those you do not know at this so very sad
time of loss. Death, such a public/publicized event yet so personally intimate. Deaths impact has visited me and has left me with more than I thought I could possibly bare but I have been taught; that there is no loss
greater than our own. A proclamation not to be envied,challenged, or wished upon any other, but one to be understood. That
even through my greatest of losses, I can not imagine nor ever want to know, the loss you are personally enduring. I am so
very sorry for the pain and sorrow that has entered all of your lives. I beg, ask, and plead pardon for the familiarity and
the manner of my condolence but I feel we are only anonymous in introduction yet now connected in an exclusive club that empathy
does not even know. There are no words to convey,now or ever, that will be a true comfort you. Please, forgive me in
advance for my candidness, but "truth be told"...my very dear loving aunt,a teacher of medicine, with her grace,
elegance in manner, and pose whispered in to my ear the only and most logical, rational expression that even came close to
mirroring my emotions after a long tiring day of sincere, most appreciated sentiments of all well wishes...(her love still
heard),she whispered, "Truth be told, it just sucks!" She held me until I could no longer cry and until I
could no longer laugh, finding comfort in the levity and the truth of her "truth be told." My prayers for
your son Sam are sincere and heart felt. May his memory be eternal with God. I pray you receive all that comforts you today
and in some small way may you have moments of levity too. I remain respectfully thankful to Sam for the lives he touched,
both known and unknown to him. "God
bless you and yours and all those you hold dear to heart." tq
BSHS Mom _______________ May the many wonderful memories of Sam's life strengthen you
