JOHN BRYANT (SAM)
My heart is broken now that you are no longer with me. The special relationship we shared was full of love, respect, pride, happiness and great adventure. The memories I have of our lives together can never be taken away and I will be forever thankful for our wonderful marriage. You looked after me so well and I could depend on you for everything. You are definitely a man among men, and I can't believe how fortunate I am to be chosen by you to share your amazing life. It is hard to say goodbye, but I know that you always knew what you meant to me and that lets me rest a little easier. Sleep peacefully my beautiful Sam. Yours eternally, Chris.
