To My Family (Christa & Big Sam)...words are hard to express during this time of need. Lil Sam lived his life the best he knew how. But, it was time for HIM to go home. GOD don't make mistakes. His body maybe absent, but he'll always be with you (in your heart). Stay strong and remember TIME heals all wounds.
Love you All
