Dear friends Paul and Kerri,
Although our hearts are broken of the loss of Sam, we hold you close to our hearts and lift you up in prayer now and in the days to come.
Wishing you peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your hearts
We are so sorry for your loss
Words are so difficult to put together at these times.
I guess that’s why GOD gave us arms to hug with and mouths to smile lovingly with.
Sam knew how to do both.
Our hearts are with you in your time of sorrow.
Sending love and prayer over your family in these times of mourning. Sam was an amazing friend and light in our lives.
Love, Dani and Elizabeth Kiernan, Audra James, Sophia Hatcher, Skye Roberts, and Elie Armstrong
Our thoughts and prayers are with your family

One time when I was like 6 or 7 Years old, I was really obsessed with Sam and we were at jury pool with him and his family and I was on his shoulders and we were go in the whirlpool So me and Sam went in the whirlpool and like halfway through when I was on his shoulders, he says that I will be right back and leave’s me in the whirlpool And never comes back and I’m just holding on for my dear life freaking out and then this Old lady comes and helps me get out of the pool and Sam never came back. That’s one of my first memories of Sam.
So very sorry. God bless all of you. You are in our prayers.
Sam a great young man he was, I loved it when he came into Partners 1st, I felt he was one of my Credit Union Sons. My thoughts and prayers are with your family he is an angel in heaven.
Praying prayers to cover you all with healing. I’m so very, very sorry you are going through this loss. I am the grandmother of Vanessa who works at Zesto. I have been praying for you all. May God send you comfort during this time of heartache.

You do not know us but we have prayed for you from the moment we heard of your loss, through a mutual friend. You have been on our hearts and minds. I have heard of your courageous response to such a difficult tragedy, and commend you for your example of deep abiding faith. . . faith like yours will undoubtable be a role model to others and will bring others to Jesus. Don’t forget the impact these crosses in our lives unite us to our Lord’s sacrifice and love for His beloved people. You will continue to be on my heart and mind as you slowly walk through this horrible pain, and yet JOY as you remember deeply the love of your son, Sam. He was surely a gift to you and always will be, until you see him again. Know he is in the arms of our Lord, he lives in you. Through Mary, to Jesus.

We are thinking of you during this difficult time️
Our deepest sympathies for your family.
There are never the “right” words to comfort you at this time. Losing a child, grandchild is not the natural order of our lives. But your heartache is every mother and father’s. Take one small step at a time. You remain in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless.
You all are in our thoughts and prayers. We too lost our son too early so we understand your grief. Keep him and the memories in your hearts forever- your memories will not go away.
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal.
Love leaves a memory no one can steal.
Praying for your family at this extremely difficult time. I am deeply sorry for your loss and will be lifting you all to the Lord for His comfort and strength. May the Spirit of the Lord be with you.
All of you are in our thoughts and prayers. We share some of your feelings since we lost our son, Joel at age 26. Your heart never quite heals but God will be there to comfort. Our prayers are with all the Zurbuch’s and Adam’s families!
