Dear Sam and Toni,
My heart aches for you and your family. I was completely heartbroken and full of disbelief when I heard of Samuel’s passing.
May God forever walk with you as you grieve the loss of your son by keeping you close in the comfort that He provides.
Our family always enjoyed Samuel! Gabriel especially enjoyed his friendship both during and after school. He has fond memories of just hanging out in both of our neighborhoods.
My deepest condolences and love to you and your family,
Michele Escudé

Dearest Toni and family,
My heart is aching so for you right now. My mind is seeing a beautiful, sweet, intelligent young second grader who helped me become a better teacher the year we had together. I cannot imagine your pain, but please know I am praying for you all as you process this tremendous loss. God’s arms are big enough for all your grief, as he cradles Samuel with His love and understanding.

Samuel was the sweetest and most polite young man that anyone could ever hope to know. I loved how each time I saw him, no matter the time that might have passed, I was greeted with a big smile and hug. Samuel was a joy to be around. Samuel, you were loved by so many. Please know that we are lifting up all of your family and friends in prayer over the coming days, weeks and months. May God Bless each and every one of your family and friends as they move forward, in life. We will see you in heaven, when the we are called home. God Speed, Samuel! WE LOVE YOU VERY MUCH!
