Linda , David and willow are here.. We’ve really enjoyed having them up.. We took a hike up to libby’s look with them

We’re coming up on the 18th anniversary of Sam’s passing. Many years we mark the day by hiking up Bolton with friends and hosting a potluck. We all get together and make samstones. . Over the last couple of years we’ve sometimes been traveling for that  day.  We still hike.. 

THis year we decided to have the potluck a little early because we’re goign to be out of town for  a good portion of november.. 

We sent out word through facebook and text messages to all of Sam’s friends, So many  of them are still in our lives. 

about 60 friends including their spouses and babies showed up.. We caught up with each other. .. and with Sam

Diane even made a dark chocolate red bull cake in Sams honor

And we had a redbull toast to Sam

And we all made samstones.. Its amazing that people are still placing and finding samstones after 18 years !

It meant very much to us that all these people still think of Sam..
It keeps us all closer 

we all love you Sam
