Samuel’s Huge Loss
Tony vowed to be there for his son however he could. The only problem was that he lived in another city, so Samuel and his wife relocated to his city of Grand Rapids, Michigan. However, while planning their move, disaster struck the Childress household.
On June 24, 2015, Donna Childress, Samuel’s wife and the person who received Arlene’s message through Facebook, passed away. The day prior, she became unconscious, and Samuel rushed her to the hospital. There was nothing the doctors could do, and she was pronounced the following day. Tony had also gotten close to Donna during their short time together, and he was heartbroken to learn that another important woman in his life was gone.
