Dearest friends,
We are so deeply devastated for your family .
Words cannot express the sorrow I feel for you all.
There are absolutely no words to explain how much we are sorry .
Sadly our family has the same pain loosing my first son Gregory almost 43 months ago. No parent of sibling ,grandparents should live this nightmare.


I will help in anyway I can when you are ready . Words cannot express how saddened we are for you all . I pray for your strength, hope and some kind of peace . Sammy was a bubble of laughs and a beautiful soul. We will cherish our memories playing soccer with Gabrielle and we will always remember her mean fierce kick, girls playing at your house and ours, soccer travels to and from games and school time. Photos and sleepovers . This beautiful child is now an angel in heaven and will be in complete peace in every way in Gods paradise.
Hold onto faith & God because Without faith and God we are not strong enough , it helps you each step of each second of each hour of each day .

Rest well sweet beautiful Samantha ❤
