Vida and Sean Tebby Livingston, TX September 26, 2020
"We have been so honored to have known Sam through the ADC at CARE. He was always such a gentleman! And he thought the world of Sean. I have heard only good things about this man through people in the community outside of CARE, how he was ready to help anyone in need. It was a blessing to have known him. Our prayers and condolences to the family. We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. 2 Corinthians 5:8."
