MOST OF YOU REMEMBER WHEN JENNY AND MIKE  DISCOVERED THAT SAM WAS DYSLEXIC, THEY WERE ON A MISSION TO FIND HIM THE BEST TUTOR OUT THERE.  THEY WERE  BLESSED TO FIND DIANA, WHO WAS DETERMINED TO HELP SAM THRIVE.  SHE CAN PAT HERSELF ON THE BACK FOR HELPING SAM BECOME THE SCHOLAR THAT HE IS TODAY.

AS A YOUNG STUDENT, SAM WOULD ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO PROGRESSING A LEVEL IN TUTORING, SO THAT HE COULD CHOOSE SOMETHING FROM THE PRIZE BOX. I REMEMBER WHEN HE CHOSE A PAIR OF GREEN, LIGHT UP DRUM STICKS THAT DIANA'S SON KARL HAD DONATED TO HIS MOM'S PRIZE BOX. SAM LOVED AND TREASURED THOSE DRUM STICKS FOR YEARS.  HE MAY STILL HAVE THEM TODAY.

SOME OF YOU MAY REMEMBER, LAST YEAR DIANA AND HER HUSBAND ERIC LOST THEIR SON KARL, A WONDERFUL YOUNG MAN WHOSE LIFE ENDED WAY TOO EARLY. 

NOT KNOWING WHAT THEY WOULD  DO WITH KARL'S CAR, DIANA AND HER HUSBAND ERIC DECIDED THEY WANTED TO GIVE IT TO SOMEONE WHO WOULD LOVE IT AS MUCH AS THEIR SON DID.  WITH A GRACIOUS, YET HEAVY HEART, SAM BECAME THAT SOMEONE LAST WEEKEND.  

REST ASSURED, ERIC AND DIANA, SAM WILL LOVE AND TREASURE THE CAR, WITH ALL HIS HEART, JUST AS HE DID KARL'S GREEN DRUM STICKS SO MANY YEARS AGO.

SAM,
I KNOW YOU'LL
ENJOY YOUR NEW CAR,
AND
(GRANDMA SPEAKING HERE)
DRIVE SAFELY!
