My deepest condolences to the Norwood family. Although it’s been awhile since I had seen Sam he had never ventured far from my thoughts or heart, I had and still do consider him a good friend. I will keep my memories close to heart as I wish the same to all of you.
Rest in peace my brother, until we meet again.
