Fallen may have always been second on the circuit, beaten only by the best, but she was first in the heart  of all those that knew her. All I can say is that "along with her, she took my heart."

the gift of a lifetime. Life without her will never be the same.

GRHRCH David's Golden King Sampson - 5/29/89 - 3/8/01
 It brings me with heavy heart to announce the passing of a best friend and a great Champion. Sam was
diagnosed with Mass Cell  Tumors in December of 2000. He passed quickly overnight on March 8, 2001.
Sam, as those of you who knew him, would say he was a  very "Spry" individual.  Sam can now rest in
peace and quiet with no pain. Rest well my friend you deserve it. I consider myself fortunate to have
had such a great friend and companion. Sam was truly that one in a million.
