Oh Samuel, I will never understand why some of the brightest lights burn out first. You truly were one of the brightest, with one of the biggest hearts of anyone I've ever met. I drove back to New Caney to be with you on your birthday, you sure were loved by so many people. I know you were right there with all of us celebrating your birthday with that huge smile on your face that you always had. You're not a teen-ager anymore! Your service was absolutely beautiful & i know you enjoyed Anna singing just for you...she has a wonderful voice & you always encouraged her to sing all the time. I'm so sorry I didn't take the time to come hang out with you the last time you asked me to in April. I never imagined it would be the last time I'd talk to you or that I wouldn't get the chance to see you again. We only knew each other for a couple years, but in that short time you made great impact on my life. You motivated me as well as many others to always strive for the best & to work hard for everything you have. You always worked your butt off & had a very strong mentality...not many guys your age could say that. I'm going to miss the times you would stay at my house with Jason for days at a time & I'd come home at night and you were a asleep in my bed so id have to sleep on the couch, then you'd wake me up super early to go get donuts & kolaches. Lol. You will forever be missed down here in this crazy world, but you're one of the lucky ones who have gotten the chance to walk through those pearly gates & meet our Lord & Savior. Watch over all of us down here, your family especially needs some comfort and understanding. Save a spot for us up there in paradise & leave a few fish in the pond so we can fish with you until we meet again..thank you for all the great things you brought to this world in your short time here with us.

Son, you absolutely know We love you. You know you'll be in my heart, on my mind, in my thoughts, everyday. Just as if you were here. Your in my prayers, my prayers daily and every night. Just as normal. I pray the Lord protect and guide my children Isaac, Samuel and Anna. My nightly prayers of The Blood of Jesus over my family and friends have or will not change. I will visit you all the time. You know how often I visit loved ones at Brookside Cemetery. Now you won't be calling on the phone, and me hearing "Mom, Where Are You?" "Where you at?" You'll know I'm visiting you. People say when someone leaves this world they wouldn't want to come back. I truly don't believe that! I know for a fact you'd come back to hug me tightly and say, "Bye Mom I love you." ""And tell Dad, Isaac and Anna, "Quit tripping." "I know you were always closer to me, as I my Mom. And I'm so sorry Samuel I wasn't with you when you needed me most. I pray the Lord Guide and Direct you and keep your Guardian Angel all around you to protect you where ever you are. Forever my SAM I AM U EL! Love you Samuel Aaron Oneil Ackley. Oh, by the way this will be your biggest Surprise Birthday Party!
