Sammie was a wonderful person and I remember, when we took Tennis lessons at Newk’s Tennis Ranch many years ago. I also have a beautiful ring she designed. We want to express our deepest sympathy to Bill and sons. Helgard and Patrick
Dr. Lee, This is Terri Greathouse Robertson. I worked for you in 1975-76 as a dental assistant my senior year in high school at Canyon. I saw your wife’s picture and notice in our Corpus paper and wanted to say hi after all these years. She was beautiful. I think I only met her once at the office but do remember her being very sweet to me. I went on and became a dental hygienist at Del Mar and practiced for 13 and then taught in the clinic there for over 20. You were my biggest mentor and have never forgotten what you taught me in such short time. I hope this finds you and your boys well considering. Sincerely, Terri

Bill and family, my sincere sympathy in the loss of Sammie. WOW, what a beautiful lady she was. When I first joined Rotary, Sammie was at every event with you, always charming and welcoming. As a business woman she had it all together as well. Sammie was a success is so many ways, but I know first as a wife and mother. My prayers are with you, Rita Kaufmann Powell
We would like to extend to your family our heartfelt and most sincere condolences. May our Lord comfort you and bring peace to your family.
Sammie and I knew each other through real estate the one year I took a break from homemaking and teaching school, and as soccer mom’s when our sons Patrick and John played Unicorn soccer together. I particularly enjoyed visiting her jewelry display where she sparkled among the gems. I am so thankful to have known her. Joan Nelson

Dear Taylor and family, Please know I feel your grief having visited with you over these years. Your Mom was one of the first people I met when I moved to NB in 1984…a beauty through and through…she was delightful. My best thoughts and prayers to you and your family. Janie Macredie
Bill, You and your boys are in our prayers. We pray that you are comforted by the many precious memories you all have and the knowledge that she is at peace in the arms of our Lord.
