This is a wonderful photo of the young man I knew best from the single painting lesson I had with him. What a joy that was for me to be able to have a couple hours to share in his sweet spirit and gentle nature during our watercolor painting lesson but also, I was blessed to hear him play the keyboard and sing a Christ-centered message in his glorious and gifted way.
Sam, I know you are free to play your glorious music in our good, good Father’s Kingdom and I look forward to the day when we meet again on those golden streets. You are greatly loved, Sam, and will be greatly missed. Much love, prayers, and comfort to Sam’s parents, family and close friends. So sorry for your great loss.
