- Dear Kathleen, John and Robyn, David and Christina,
You are all in my heart and in my prayers. Sam was very special to me and to
all that knew him. Everyone who lives in a house he built or looks at a
piece of art or furniture he crafted is all the more enriched by his being
in the world. I will think of him especially when I am in nature. May you
find comfort in your memories. Love,

- Know that I am thinking about both of you and remember always that it was
Sam that introduced you both to the magic of wood. And for that we are all
grateful because that magic will live on.

- Dear Mrs. Horn, Once upon a time, long ago, in a land called Westwood - we
walked to and from school, got lost in the tall sagebrush across from your
house, ate wild muscadines and blackberries, and even left the door unlocked
sometimes. We tried not to crash the sleds into your front wall or get
caught having quail egg fights. However, not getting caught was difficult
since, even though we might not have known it, someone's Mom was watching
out for us all of the time. Little did we know what an innocent and simple
time we were living in. Today's world turned out far different than any of
us expected or were prepared for. I ran into Merle Kirkland yesterday and
she told me of Sam's death. I lost track of Sam, and had no idea that he
lived just down the road from me here in Ferndale. Please accept my sincere
condolences and prayers for you and your family. Peace be with you.
