B recuerdo a mi primo hermano Sami de toda la vida a mi papá le encantaba ir a visitar a su hermana Rosa y ahí conocí a mis primos desde muy chiquito a punto ya de mayores mi papá se enroló a cantar en el coro de la iglesia Holy Spirit y todos los domingos estaban Sami y Ninfa enfrente de nosotros y al finalizar cada misa, Siempre nos juntamos juntamos en medio enfrente del altar a saludarnos. Primo te recuerdo afectuosamente, Benjamin Garcia.

I remember Sam as a kind, friendly, smart, hard working person who was well liked wherever he went. We met in high school where we played football. Sam was an upper class man who was a good role model. Later, we met again as Federal Probation Officers. God bless you Sam. I’ll always remember you. 

Rodriguez Family.
    Our condolences to all the family. We are truly sorry for your loss. 
     Sam and Ninfa are our dearest friends.  And Ninfa is our classmate. 
       We have so many great memories during our years together in the Mr. and Mrs. Club. 
         We are sorry this pandemic is keeping us from attending Sam’s services.

Comadre Ninfa,

We were saddened to hear that Compadre Sam had passed.
We are sure that the Lord has welcomed him to paradise because we remember Sam living his life in a manner that was pleasing to God.

We knew him as a good friend, compadre and co-worker.  We believed him to be a good husband, father and grandfather.

We knew that he loved you as his “one and only” and we saw the same love in your eyes when you looked at him around us.

We pray for you, the boys and their families as we remember and pray for and to Sam—asking that he pray for us as well.
We send you our love…

					                                   Compadres Crixell
