Dear Carole, Ken and Debbie, Kathy and Brad, Kenny and Amanda, Katherine and Garrett, Will, and Caden, Jean and Macel,

We've only known Sam for a few short years, it seems, but it doesn't take long to measure the stature of man whose love of Christ showed in his love for others.  While his family was paramount, his care and concern for building the body of Christ is a living testimony.  The help he gave so freely made such a difference in individual lives.  The lives he helped to save reflect the memory of a man who cared enough to stand for what is right.  

May God bless each of you as you remember with joy and gladness a man used greatly by God to enhance His kingdom here on earth.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

We are so sorry for your loss.  Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.  Wallace & Gail Grosvenor

Dear Pate and Falwell families, 
Our hearts know how you feel so therefore we will keep you in our prayers. May the peace of God comfort your hearts at this time.
Sherry Wright, Beckie Orr Mitchell's baby sister

We will miss you, Sam--we will never forget you.

Carole, so sorry to hear of Sam's passing. I was in Lynchburg for a missions conference at Heritage just qa couple of weeks ago. May God bless and comfort you.

Our condolences to all of the family and friends of Mr. Pate. We are so sorry to hear about the loss of such a great man. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. We know it's Heaven's gain. Sam was one of the most understanding people in the world. The best boss ever. I am so glad I ran into him almost two weeks ago. He will be missed but never forgotten. May he Rest In Peace.  With Love, Charlie and Jean Jennings and Family

When the news came to us yesterday that Sam had taken his flight to the realms of Glory, we were very saddened for each of you.  I have many memories of my Temple roommate and dear friend of 54 years.
Carol, we will continue to hold you and your precious family up to our loving Father.  His comforting arms will embrace you, give you peace and He will whisper words of love.

Macel and Jean, our prayers are for you also.  We know that you loved Sonny dearly and will miss him.  It's only a short time until we will all be together in Heaven. 

Our love and prayers,
Warren and Laverne Gibby

Sam was my first boss and I have always been greatful to him for allowing me to have flexible working hours while I attended college.  He taught me the most important character traits you can have, a strong work ethic and teamwork.  It's been 24 years since I've worked for him, and I still think of him every time I vacuum my office or empty trash cans.  His positive influence and wealth of knowledge will be greatly missed.

Carol, May our Lords peace keep you through these tough times. I have been there as you know and our Father is faithful.  Blessings, Jane Barnard, Fayetteville, Georgia

Although it has been many years since I've seen Sam, I remember him well from our student days at Tennessee Temple and my early days around Liberty University at the Pastor's Conference. He will be remembered always as a humble Christian gentleman of integrity. My prayer for  you is that God will comfort and sustain your family. I know God will answer this prayer. You will know His grace.

Carole and Family,

Sam was first a Christian, but also a gentleman.  He always presented himself with dignity and friendliness.  He was the same wherever we met him - in church and out.  Our prayer is that God will comfort you as only he can.

Judy and Bill Carson

I will truly miss Sonny , as we always were teasing each other in fun and having a great time doing this. I know his family will miss him greatly, but,  now he is with his parents and Jerry, so he is rejoicing and healed.
He will be missed.
Love you all
Nolan and Pat

To all the Pate and Falwell family -I am praying for you . The Pate and Falwell family made my life easier than anyone knows. I will always be grateful to all of you and I am praying for you,

Carole, Ken and Kathy,

I am so sorry for your loss. I had the privilege of working for Sam at Montague-Betts Company, and he was a wonderful example of a great boss. I will cherish the memories forever of working with Sam, Oma, Deda, Mr. Wiley, and Dennis. One of the things I remember most about Sam is how much he loved his family. May your hearts soon be filled with your wonderful memories as you celebrate Sam's life. God bless you and your family at this time of sorrow.

I have known Sam since I was 5 years old when I started school in 1967 at L.C.A. Not only did I consider him a friend but a good neighbor for 17 years. Prior to my fathers passing on Christmas day 2000, Sam for many years would bless my fathers business with work.  My Dad and him were also friends. My children use to enjoy watching him  from our front porch, while he was on his tractor cutting his yard.  I will miss the chats we would have every couple times a year when i would catch him working outside in his yard.  He was a very kind and generous man.  Blessings to the family, and our prayers are with you.
