A special thank you to all those who ministered to Sammy, both physically and spiritually during his illness. To Rev Ashley Graham who called so often at the home and hospital to encourage and pray for Sammy and the family and to remind us of how our Church family were also praying for us all.

Our heartfelt thanks to Helen and all the Staff at D. Watters Funeral Services for the professional and caring manner shown to us during this difficult time as they carried out the funeral arrangements.
