Sam and Katherine was the first Neighbors I had the honour to live beside for a number of years on 7th st. Se. Sam would take my children with theirs in that Volks wagon to get ice cream. We was the second black family in that neighborhood. Well to make a long story short, they was a great friend he and his wife to live beside of. Sorry for your lost Tucker Family sending prayers your way. The Geter Family still in 7th street se.
I am so sorry for the loss of Sam. Mr Tucker was a special neighbor to me and my family for so many years. I am missing seeing his blinds open letting me know he is ok... however I know he is ok with his Lord and Savior! Prayers for you all!!
"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit" -Psalm 34:18. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family. May God bless you!
