I found this obituary on Facebook.  I am trying to get in touch with (I believe the deceased woman's daughter) Honor.  Honor was a music teacher in my grade school in Mahanoy City, Pennsylvania.  I recently celebrated 50 years as a parish musician and wanted to write to Honor and share the pictures and article which appeared in the town where I grew up.   Boy, is this a stretch!  Any information would be helpful.  I understand that Mrs. Sams died nine years ago.  Thank you for your help.  (If you can pass my email on to Honor, I would so appreciate your kindness.  Thanks, Mark T. Purcell 

Mary, 
So many years ago met I your mom and remember thinking what a wonderful woman she was and such a beautiful, loving mother.  Denise and I often talk about the fun we had at Miserendino, Krull & Foley especially the good times we had with you.  We think of you often, Mary, and please know you and your family are in our  prayers.

Your mother was a beautiful person and my prayers and love to Larry, Honor & Mary.

Hello and much love to the whole Sams clan. I have the warmest memories of your mom, a most gracious and kind lady.
Your old next-door neighbor,
Nancy J. Parisi

Dear Larry, Heather, Erinn and Chris, 
We are so saddened by the loss of such a beautiful spirit!  Grama Sams was a mother and grandmother to everyone she met.  She just such a sweet, patient and generous soul and she will be greatly missed by everyone who knew her. Her legacy will live on through you and your lifelong memories of her will always keep you connected. Our deepest sympathies during this challenging time.   

"When those we love have left this earth, we still can feel them near. We'll see a picture, hear a song, and it’s just like they are here. And when we call upon our faith, when we believe and trust, we know the ones we care about are always close to us."  - Constance Graham

Dear Larry, Heather and Family,
I am very sorry to hear about the loss of your Dear Mother. You are in my thoughts & prayers during this difficult time.
Jennifer Propis (HUD)

To Honor's Family,  I worked with your Mom in City Hall many years ago.  I admired her so much.  She was one of my favorite people.  I am, however, still mad at her for never telling us she was retiring until the her last day.  But that was Honor.  She was one of the greatest people I ever met in my life.  She and you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Bless your family in their time of need with loving memories.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief.  May your memories bring you comfort.

Heather, Larry and family: Our sincere condolences in your loss.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

Larry, Honor & Mary Bride, "May the memories of your mother's love, compassion and tenderness bring peace to your heart during this difficult time. Your mom is so special and she will live on through your loving memories of her. My thoughts and prayers are for all of you and your families,

Mary you and your family are in my thoughts, I am very sorry for your loss

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Mary, John, Kate & Emily,
My heart is with you during this difficult time. You have been the best daughter, Mary. I know your Mom was proud of you. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear family of Honor Sams,
        The world is a darker place today. I remember clearly the day that my mother and I delivered a table to Mrs. Sams. When I think of a definition of a lady, I will always think of Mrs. Sams. I feel proud to have known such a member of the community. God Bless the Sams. 
Sincerely,
Kevin Hickey
