VALERIE AND JON,
I WANT TO EXTEND MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY IN YOUR LOSS OF SAM.IT IS ALWAYS DIFFICULT TO SAY GOOD-BYE TO SOMEONE YOU LOVE SO DEARLY.
LAURA

Val, Jon and Family,

We were heartbroken to hear about Sam. The summers the boys spent at each other's homes are treasured memories of their youth for them as well as for us. Each visit gave us time to get to know each of the guys better. We had a blast when it our turn to have them here. Alexa especially liked it when they came--THEY were nicer to her than her brothers. Sam was quiet but happy and agreeable, quick with a laugh and always ready to go along with whatever we had planned for their "vacation in Ohio Week". We grieve for your loss and pray for your hearts to heal.

My thoughts and prayers are with you Don Spilman
