Gordon "Sam" N. Bass

Dad-We all miss you very much. Wendy, Jason and I have planned our annual fishing trip at Toledo Bend in October. We are staying at the same cabin as last year where we caught all those bass. I know you will be over our shoulders watching us fish the way you taught us all those many years ago in HighLine Cove. I bet your catching all the bass you want with your special Bingo lure up there. When I was 7-8 yrs old I would daily sit and wait for you to get home from work while peering thru my bedroom window. You would bring us a surprise everyday from work. You were the "BEST" father/grandfather anybody could hope for in our family. One day you and I will get to fish together, again. I Love You!!!!

Broken Chain Poem by: Ron Tranmer
Little I knew that morning, God was going to call your name, in life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone, for part of me went with you, the day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories, your love is our guide and though we cannot see you, you are always by our side. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same, but as God call us one by one, the chain will link again. Little I knew that morning, God was going to call your name, in life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone, far part of me went with you, the day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories, your love is still our guide, and though we cannot see you, you are always by our side.
Eternal Love,
Your daughter
Wendy

Rita...so very sorry to hear about Sam...I have wonderful memories of you and him from up at Toledo with Jody and Big Tommy....sending my prayers to you and your family...bobbi roberts pratt (edwin and dorothy's daughter)

Dear Rita,
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time and in the days to come. The video is so sweet, revealing a man who loved his family very much. Thankfully, Sam is at peace now but his leaving has left a great big empty place in your family. I pray that as you and your family recall the good times that you shared with your loved one that it will keep him close to you and bring healing to your spirit. With love and prayers, Mary Ann

I am so sorry for your loss. Mr. Bass was always so kind and gracious and treated me just like one of his own kids. He is with my Mom, Dad and the rest of our families now...in the arms of the angels.
Love,
Kayla, Troy and Holly

I know I can speak for the Nederland High School Class of 1956 in saying Newell was a good friend to all, excelled as a student, and he had a great sense of humor. My deepest sympathies to the family.

Wendy,
Sending you and your family prayers of comfort during this time of loss. (Matthew 5:4)

Wendy,
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Your dad is in a much better place as I'm sure you are aware. Hang tough! Should you need me you know where I am!

May God comfort you and bring you peace as you go through this tough time. My heart goes out to you, especially to Wendy -- I'm sure being at home this week with you whole family has been special and full of memories. Praying for safe travels for all of you who will be traveling home soon.
In His Love and mine, Lisa

Wendy - You and your Family have been in my prayers.
