My thoughts and prayers are with you. I work at the Iowa Veterans Home in Marshalltown. I helped Sam fold napkins in the Dack Dinning room. He loved his job and took it very seriously. He loved his family and talked about his grand-daughter, he worried about her. I will miss Sam and our daily visits. Sam was a very tender hearted man with a very big heart. I will miss his voice letting me know that he was here and ready to fold napkins, Sam called me Miss Bonnie.
Take Care
