Dear Sammy, I can't belive this is reality. Your smile was contagious. You never let nobody know the struggles underneath because you always worried and cared for others. So many of us are not ready to face this. It wasn't your time you were an amazing person on this earth. I love you Sammy I have your favorite stuff animal you always loved to hug. Don't worry it's in good hands and I know god is taking care of you I'll be home soon and we will meet again.
