Mrs. Lansdon & family, we are so sorry to hear about Mr. Samuel. We found out a few days after the services. We would’ve been there had we known. Mr. Samuel was one of only a few that I held the utmost respect for in men today. I thought alot of him. He was outside working when he should’ve been enjoying retirement life, but he was from the old school!! There’s no doubt where he’s at now, for I know he was a true christian man. Please know that your family are in our prayers. Ben & Donna Porter
