Barbara took a big part in my dad's life she was always there for him. she found my dad in his apartment passed away on the couch. i beleive he had a heart attack in his sleep cause he looked like he was sleeping my twin said. i was really upset that what we wrote didn't get to be read to everybody at the funeral i just wish that everyone would know that my dad has changed alot recently and his life had just started to get back on track since the incident of last april when he almost didn't make it through the stroke. i just wish i could give my dad just one last hug and hear his voice again my siblings do to or even get to call and say good nght dad i love you that was a big thing for us. or to even just make sure are dad was ok. my dad had a tough life lots of struggles but so did his kids the whole sample generation almost i beleive but my dad would always say (Things will get better you guys they will) i really hope they do. i'll see my dad again someday but right now he is up in heaven with his mom and his dad and sister terri and hopfully he can watch over us as we grow up you know. my dad really loved us i willl never forget him he was the best dad in the world even if you were mad at him. he will always be in are memorys and will never ever be forgotten. i just hope my dad wasn't in any pain at all i know he didn't want to be imbomed that was what he always told us thats why he had to be cremated so fast we didn't get to see my dad that long he was so cold and just didn't look the same but his soul lives on forever and since he made us his flesh and blood will be passed on down the road through us 4 kids we just wish everyone could get back together my dad would really love that he awlays said he would. I love you dad and i hope you watch over us and R.I.P you will always be remembered through us kids you were are everything love always you daughter Terri Mae Sample i'll make you proud dad. <3 sorry it's so long i just really love my dad and miss him.
