Our only son, he gave his life protecting our country so we could be free.Our lives will never be the same without him, the only hope is that we will one day be with him again,But until then, he will always remain in our heart and memories. "Son,our little sam, you were a gift from God and we only had you a short time, now God has bigger plans for you!We will miss you so,so much, we know you are in good company." Love Mom & Dad

I don't think you ever realized how many people love you and care about you so much. I wish you could see what an impact you made on so many lives. I love you so much Sammy. I think about you everyday, i'll always hold onto those memories we shared together and you'll always be alive in all of our hearts. I know you're up there in heaven with Sovie, making all the angels laugh and smile. You were always good at that.=) I know we'll be together again someday... but until then, i miss you so very much. You were the best brother anyone could ever have asked for. love you always -Sissy

The contributions of Great Americans do not go unnoticed nor unappreciated. Thanks to Sam Jr, we are a free nation and we wish to thank him for being the man that he was, selfless and dedicated. We are forever indebted to Sam Jr. God bless and keep him forever.

I taught both Sam and Whitney in school and have fond memories of them together and apart in years. Sam was a young man full of life and love for everything he did. He was my introduction to High School teaching as a substitute...what a hoot! To Sam, you have touched many lives and have left lasting impressions on all you have touched; we love you and will miss you always. Whitney, I am always here for you...no matter what you need, just to talk at 3 am, I there! I have loved you since you were a little girl (4th grade). Both you and your son are lucky to have had Sam as part of your lives, forever remind him of how wonderful his Daddy was, and how proud we all have been to have known him. To The Large Family, My heart goes out to all of you in your loss, Sam was just an all around great guy that just made me laugh when I was around him. To see Sam and Whitney together, they just fit like puzzle pieces, and to share a child, what bliss! To hear Courtney talk of her big brother, the smile that comes to her face, still along with the pain of loss, that smile still shines, she is so very proud to call Sam her brother. Mr. & Mrs. Large, you raised a fine son and I know how proud you are of him. We lost him doing something he loved and something he believed in and as parents we want to be able to be there and protect our children. This is Gods hand, he has a plan for Sam as well as the rest of us…as our faith may waver at a time like this, I know God is here and Sam is watching over each and everyone of his family and friends from above…he is at peace. Love to all of you.

I just wanted to let you know that even though we have always lived so far apart you have always been a wonderful cousin to me and Dave, even though distance kept us apart when we were all around each other we were all inseprable. I will never forget the times that we shared at grandma Daisys, painting shirts and play fighting. But that is okay because all of those things are yet to come again in the future. Love always Sissy

To the family, my prayers are with you as I know how much you will miss him. I will always remember him riding my school bus. He made the trip eventful. He had the best personality, always happy and would make me laugh. I have many memories of him and stories that I will never forget. God bless your family.

I only remember good things about Sam. We had a class or two together before stepping off into the sunset after graduating together in '03. There's never a dull moment with Sam around, that's for sure! And Whitney, I don't know if you remember or not, but i knew you when you were about six years old... it seems funny to say that cuz it makes me sound so much older than you! We had the same baby-sitter there for a while and my memories of you from then are all good ones, also! We haven't really spoken since then but, as a fellow military wife, I'm always here for you. Eric Williams, you know him, claimed me in June of last year, then shipped of to Korea for a year just two weeks after the wedding. I know what it's like to worry and I know how I would feel if anything ever happened to him. But I also know its got to be harder on you right now to have realized that pain. At least you have little Tyler to always remind you of your wonderful husband!! Never let that boy feel like he's missing out on his dad - any child would be lucky to have Sam Large as a father. I'm proud to have known Sam and I'd be proud to help you through his loss. I'm so proud of each and every one of our service men and women, but to have known some of them personally just hurts my heart to watch the news every day. Again, I will express my pride in having know Sam. Eric says to tell you how very sorry he is and how much he wishes he could be here. With happy memories and sad tears, I'll always remember my classmate.
Lindsey Robinson - February 22nd, 2006 at 8:45pm - Email
First of all i would like to tell you how very sorry i am for your loss. Sam was a wonderful person, which you know. He had the biggest heart and would help anyone that possibly needed it. Going to school with sam was awesome. There was always something to laugh about with him around. In addition to sam being a great person you could see him just light up when him and whitney got together. It was like they were soul mates. No other person could have completed him the way Whitney did. Whitney I love you girl. I know this time is hard for you and i want to let you know that if you need me for anything i am here. Sam hasn't left you he is watching over you every step of the way and he is there in your heart and in your son. What a blessing it is to have Tyler to remind you of your wonderful husband! Remind him each and everyday what a wonderful father he has. He was the best husband and father you could have ever had. To the Large family, you raised a wonderful son. You should be very proud. Through this time just look to God. He must have a better plan for your son and you will see him again one day. God bless you all. And thanks to sam for fighting to give us freedom. Sam you were awesome. I will miss you greatly. Thanks for blessing my life and i will never forget you.

To my dear Brother. There are no words to explain how proud of you I am and have always been! We were not able to spend everyday together but I can promise, you were thought of each and every day! When you make wishes and they come true, how could anyone not appreciate it? When I wished for a brother, I never expected to get a one like you! You're truely an amazing, loving, caring, beautiful person! No one can ever fill your shoes! I love you dearly and one day will be able to spend each and every day with you! Love always, Samantha

Dearest Sam, Ada and Courtney, We will never forget the hot summer day as we drove to a place called Villa Rica. We came to the gate, full of anticipation of the family we were about to meet. We remember your street, sitting in the living room talking to you and sitting in the restaurant a couple of days later. Although we have only known you a short time, you have touched our lives. You touched our lives with your generosity, love and welcoming demeanor. We could see the love you have for each other in your eyes and the words you spoke. Your family has touched the life of our Yusef and he loves you all so much. We thank you for being so kind to him. As parents, our hearts are filled with pain for what you are going through. Words cannot express how we feel. Please know that we care and you will always be in our hearts. With love, Ghaleb and Janet Eid and family

Lil Sam, my dear nephew, I will always have precious memories of you, from the day you were born,over the years I watched you grow from a small child to a young boy, then into a fine young man.You made me proud. I will truly miss your smile, your laughter,and the special way you had of making me feel "special" to. I feel as though I have lost a piece of myself, my heart is broken. I know, someday I will see you again, and my heart will be whole again. Sam, Aunt Darlene loves and misses you. I love you!

I have fond memories of spending time with my cousin Sam as children. I feel a lot of regret for not spending enough time getting to know him, thinking that I had the rest of my life to know family members I haven't seen in years. I am very sad for our families loss. The Sam I knew was a very caring, fun, and genuine young man. He will be missed.
Sandra Pryor - February 23rd, 2006 at 9:59am - Email
Not many people get to do something they love. Your son loved the Marines and his country, God and you. How proud you must be of him and how terribly you must miss him. My family thanks your family for your great sacrifice and offers you all our deepest sympathy.

Bill Rutledge - February 23rd, 2006 at 11:32am - Email
Dear Sam & Family, In this untimely loss of your noble son, so much of promised usefulness to one's country, and of bright hopes for one's self and friends, have rarely been so suddenly dashed, as in his fall. In size, in years, and in youthful appearance, a boy only, his power to serve his country was great. The honors he labored for so laudably, and, in the sad end, so gallantly gave his life, he meant for them, no less than for himself. In the hope that it may be no intrusion upon the sacredness of your sorrow, I have ventured to address you this tribute to the memory of a honored solider and your brave and early fallen child. May God give you that consolation which is beyond all earthly power. Sincerely your friend, William (Bill) Rutledge St. Petersburg, Florida
Carol D Lloyd - February 23rd, 2006 at 11:34am - Email
My deepest sympathy and condolences on the loss of your precious son. I have a son with the same birthday. Your son was all our sons- may he rest now in the eternal joy of the Lord, and may perpeetual light shine upon him. Carol Lloyd

Our hearts ache for our loss of "little Sam". Ada,Sam,&Courtney, I commend your courge and strength that only true Faith in our lord can give us in such painful times. "Little Sam"- what an honor to know him! I watched him grow from a boy to a fine young man. A true American hero - a proud and deicated Marine -a loving husband and father - a friend to many -a son and brother that truely loved his family! A truely outstanding and exceptional young man who achieved all this in the short time the lord gave him to be with us. Surely he goes to a far better place -- God bless you and God's speed Sammy!!

Dear Large family, I pray every day for all of you. I knew Sam and he was a good person. I remember how funny he was, and he always had a way of making everyone laugh. Whitney, you know i love you and i pray for you everyday and night. Tyler is the most precious baby,and every time i look at him, i just smile. He is such a blessing to everyone that is a part of his life. My prayers go out for all of you through this hard time. God bless.

Sam, The first night I met you, we all sat down at Pizza Hut for dinner and ended up at Camp Blood. You and Whitney talked me and Nani into going to Camp Blood with the two of you. We all had to hold each other up that night. Our family loved you so much. We loved the way you loved our Whitney. She is my first niece and the both of you still called me "Aunt Meme". I will be sure that Baby Tyler continues to call me his "Aunt Meme". We all will be sure that he knows what a wonderful daddy that he had. I love you Sam! Forever, Aunt Meme

Sam and Ada, Even tho we've never met, we feel a closeness to you through our very dear friends, Dave and Carol. The sorrow in Dave's voice when he phoned was unbelieveable. We can't imagine the loss you feel but want you to know you're entire family has been in our thoughts and prayers constantly since hearing from Dave on Friday morning. We understand no words can possibly help with your sorrow, but wanted you to know we are thinking of you at this time. Fondly and with Love, Larry and Laurie Blitsch

We didn't know Sam very well, but he seemed like a very nice guy. We wish we could have known him better. Our hearts go out to Sam, Ada, and Courtney. We know that this is a hard thing to have to go through. You are all in our prayers.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. Sam wasa classmate of my daughter Meghan Phillips. He came to our house doing projects with Meghan for Algebra 3 and Trig. They shared a Limo for the Junior Senior Prom. I just wanted you to know that you're family is in our prayers. He was a very special young man. We loved him dearly. He was a good friend to Meghan. He will be missed by more people than you'll ever realize. May GOD wrap his arms around the entire family and give you peace. Sincerely, Linda Phillips Villa Rica Ga.

Ada, Sam & Courtney, Our thoughts & prayer are with you all. As you, we have so many memories of Sam and Alan growing up as best friends. At one time he spent more weekends with you then at home. The morals that you taught Sam made him the man he became. He will always be remembered. Because of having a wonderful family, he became a husband and a father, that I know he would have been the BEST. We all have memories and this NO one can take away. Love to All, Barbara, Alan & Sean
