I remember Sam as Grandma´s first blue-eyed boy, I can still hear her say it! Even though there were more than 20 years age difference between us, our extended family always spent Christmas Eve together and I remember Sam as one of several younger cousins anxiously waiting for "Santa" to arrive. Dale and Bev our thoughts and prayers are with you both.
