My name is Donna Williams Pierce I remember Benny growing up
BILL was a very special friend of mine from the time my granddaughter TROI was born he always ask about her until her. I can say ALL THOSE MAIES WERE FINE.I will keep the family in my prayers and especially TROY LOVE YOU ALL!
My deepest condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Samuel. I pray for serenity and comfort during this difficult time, as there are no words that can ease the feelings you are experiencing right now.
The prayer is as follows: “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”
As the family continues to live life a little differently now, I pray that God holds you and continues to cover your family in serenity.
Sending love and light,
Sky
