The Angels rejoiced on May 11, 2014. Sam James went to Heaven to be heard and seen. Fifty-nine years ago when he was born. His life touched so many that now will morn. He grew up in Valliant during his life and that?s where he lived with Penny his wife. He was a husband, dad and a terrific gramps. He was our strength and a lighted lamp.
