for Sam Pryor

Not sure what to say?





September 1, 2013

Husband, Father, Brother, Friend, Confidant, he was all of these and more. It is with deepest sympathy and regret that I send this message to you and your family. The memories that he leaves will help with the times to come and somehow help fill the void that is left with his passing. I do regret that I was not able to be with you at this time because I am hospitalized out of state. My continued prayers are with you and your family for strength during this time. Be blessed and the divine favor of God be with you all.
