Kim,
My deepest condolences go out to you and your family. Working with Sam at Rouse has been a wonderful privilege that I am so lucky to have experienced. I worked night shift with him and because of that we had a lot of one on one time which lead a special bond to be formed. He was the highlight of my night, he was the reason I had a smile on my face as I walked into work every time; every time I was greeted with a smile and a hug. He often stayed up most of the night and would go on walks with me around the unit, and every night we would each have a glass of chocolate milk on my lunch break. I have found a friend in Sam, I have found love and trust, I have found one of the many reasons I continue to work as hard as I can at my job every day. He has left an imprint on my heart and an impression on my soul. I will never forget him, my favorite person to see, my best resident on the unit and most importantly, my friend.
All my love,
Autumn Starr
Thank you so that is comforting knowing you were his friend
John and family,
So sorry to hear of your fathers passing, I know you were very close and enjoyed each other immensely.
My sincere condolences.
