To dearest Andrew, Melissa, April and the Kershaw Family. Our love, thoughts and heartfelt sympathy go out to you all at this very sad time. Such a tragedy that Sam did not get to fulfill his dreams. We hope Sam is now flying with the angels and that your many beautiful memories will ease your pain, with the passage of time.

With much love, Melanie & Shayne

Kathryn Neal

Sam you will be sadly missed. It was great knowing you and bringing a smile to everyones face. Enjoy flying forever up in the sky. April and Family take care and my thoughts go out to you during this very very sad time.

December 13, 2012

Our words are not adequate to express the sorrow we feel for your loss. Faith consists in believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe. You have to believe that Sam was here for a reason and your connection could never be broken.

Our prayers and thoughts are with you,

Nigel & Sabine
