Forever Missing You   (mom)
Hey Sam~ Still have a hard time believing Your really gone! Always Hoping Your going to walk in one day, one night, head for the refrigerator & then the family room to watch Weeds, Soprano's or South Park. I Miss You So Very Much Everyday. Never in my whole life did I ever believe I'd feel pain like this. I Loved our family, Our lives. We weren't perfect, we had our struggles ~ but we loved each other & I always believed that was enough. I always thought we would have "tomorrow". I feel gyped, not only were you taken away from us physically but so was our future with you, Your future. It's almost been a year ...... but it hurts like it was just yesterday. You were ripped from our arms with No chance to say good-bye, to tell you again that we love you, and remind you how much You mean to us, and how proud we were of you. You make our family whole Sam. We will Forever be broken without You. 
I will Love You Forever, Mom . . . . xoxoxoxxoo

Hi Honey:

Well, you mom has this at the end of her e-mail now.  God, I can't believe your gone.  I miss you soooo much.  It's hard to write you cause I don't want to believe your not here.  It's easier to think your just on vacation and at anytime your going to walk in the door. I guess some adults have just as hard of a time with this and I guess that adult is me.

I love you

Remember only my best ....   (a friend )

When I come to the end of my journey,
And I travel my last weary mile,
Just forget if you can, that I ever frowned,
And remember only the smile.

Forget unkind words I have spoken,
Remember some good I have done,
Forget that I've ever had heartache,
And remember I've had loads of fun.

Forget that I've stumbled and blundered,
And sometimes fell by the way,
Remember I fought some hard battles,
And won, ere the close of the day.

Then forget to grieve for my going,
I would not have you sad for a day,
But in summer just gather some flowers,
And remember the place where I lay.

And come in the shade of the evening,
When the sun paints the sky in the west,
Stand for a moment beside me,
And remember only my best.

Wish you were here ............   (Mom)

Hey Sam,  leaving for Jalama today.  Never have been there without you.  What memories it stirs up.  We had a lot of great times/years there.   You, Vince and Angie, Dad & I.  The friends you would bring, Ray and Michael.  Thanksgivings with the Piquettes, Davies, Van Seaggrins, and the Lucas'.  Hiking, sand fights, body surfing, frog catching, skateboarding, jumping your bike, tree climbing and falling, camp fires, marshmallow fights, scarey stories, and so much more.  Good Times, Great Memories .........

Miss you everyday, for the things we did together and now we'll never get to do again, ...............  and  the things we never will got a chance to do or share with you.  It is hard, sometimes I don't want to do new things that we never did with you,  I hate thinking of  making new memories without you in  them  .............. losing you is the worst possible pain.  Even as I sit here  at almost 9 months of missing you,  it still doesn't seem possible or right.  I keep you in my heart and thoughts everyday.  I talk about you and remember you with lots of tears and smile because you were Sam.  You were one of a kind!   And You were mine!  I love you so much and will 4ever be proud to be Your Mom.  xxooxxox

Who You'd Be Today

Kenny Chesney
 

1st Verse

Sunny days seem to hurt the most
I wear the pain like a heavy coat
I feel you everywhere I go
I see your smile, I see your face
I hear you laughin' in the rain
Still can't believe you're gone

Chorus

It ain't fair you died too young
Like a story that had just begun
But death tore the pages all away
God knows how I miss you
All the hell that I been through
Just knowin' no one could take your place
Sometimes I wonder
Who you'd be today

2nd Verse

Would you see the world, would you chase your dreams
Settle down with a family
I wonder what would you name your babies
Somedays the sky's so blue
I feel like I can talk to you
And I know it might sound crazy

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

Today, today, today
Today, today, today

3rd Verse

Sunny days seem to hurt the most
I wear the pain like a heavy coat
The only thing that give me hope
Is I know
I'll see you again some day
Someday, someday

Mother of another Angel {Matthew}  / Donna Gramlich (Mother of Another Angel )

I would like to send our deep condolences to you and your family. SAm looked like a very beautiful and smart boy.  I just lost my son 12-18-05 in Farmington, NY.  He just turned 18. He was a passenger and a friend was driving him home. The driver was drinking before he showed up at my son’s friend’s house.  The driver sped off and within 1 min. the accident happened. The driver hit a guard rail, spun around and then hit a tree trapping my son in the car.  He was the only one killed and the driver walked. I deeply know what you and your family is going through. Matthew was my only child. My partner and as you know our life and future. We know our lives will never be the same for any of us in our families. He is truly an angel and with my son. There should be a rule that young people should not die. We live in this new night mare and our lives are now changed for ever. We now live day to day to get through. Our missing will be for ever. I will pray for you and your family to help you get through each day as every one in our life has. It's not easy and will be the hardest thing we will ever experience in our life. There is nothing like this experience everything else is nothing and small. No family should ever experience this kind of lost. My heart goes out to all her friends because I know what they are going through also. I keep in contact with Matthew’s closest friends just to help me get through. Everyone here in my life has been truly wonderful and a blessing.  We all stay connected to help each other. I want to send out my heart to all your family and friends. Matthew and  Sam will for ever be in our hearts and  that is where they will live for ever. 

Mother of Another Angel,
Donna

Miss You Sam!  / Jacque

Hey Sam! Just wanted to say hi and tell you that I miss you. I know I haven't written in a while. But just cause I don't write doesn't mean that I don't think abt you. You're always on my mind and you'll forever be in my heart. I still can't believe that you're gone. I don't know. It just hurts. Someone who was so well loved and so well liked and had so much going for them. The world was at your finger tips. Life is never gonna be the same for our family. There will always be a missing link. I love you so so much and miss you even more. I wish I had gotten the chance to hang with you more, to spend more time with you. That will always bug me. You were always so fearless; never afraid to takes chances and risk it all. You weren't afraid of getting into trouble, or to see just how far you could push your limits. I love you and miss you.

REMEMBER ME"

To the living I am gone
To the sorrowful I will never return.
To the angry, I was cheated.
But to the happy, I am at peace,
And to the faithful, I have never left.
I cannot speak, but I can listen,
I cannot be seen, but I can be heard.
So as you stand upon a shore,
Gazing at a beautiful sea,
As you look upon a flower and
Admire it's simplicity
REMEMBER ME.
REMEMBER ME in your heart,
Your thoughts, and in your memories of
The times we loved,
The times we cried,
The times we fought,
The times we laughed.
For if you always think of me, I will have never gone

I Love you Sam!  / (mom)
Hey Sam, I miss you more than I can ever explain. A piece of me definitely died the day you left us.  I told you everyday that I loved you, that I have no regrets. I hope you also knew how proud I was to be your mom.  You made me proud everyday. Scared & worried at times too- but always proud.  No matter what was going on in your life you always stayed true to yourself. You were a loving, loyal and trustworthy son, brother and friend.  You were honest, almost to a flaw- in that you always told the truth even if it meant you paying for it.  You would never give up a friend, you'd stay loyal to the end-again no matter the consequences.  You cared deeply for your friends and your family.  Everyone knew they could count on you for just about anything, you would always come through-even those times you didn't want to (family obligations, etc.)  You were Sam.  We all knew if we called, you would be there, to be a friend whether to help us in some way, back us up, or just to hang out. You could always be counted on.  What a gift you were to all of us, your family, your friends, the community.  You were a true friend to us all. You still make me proud everyday.  Just now, it brings tears to my eyes and an ache in my heart that I can't tell you in person.  I hear great stories about you and your friendships; those fun, goofy and sometimes scarey (4 mom) times.  You were truly blessed to have so many great friends. How lucky for you, but you gave as you got and they were lucky too.  There are people who live much longer lives who never even get close to experiencing the love and dedication you and your friends have shared.  I'm sure that your friends hold their memories close to their hearts as I do mine.  Sam, I think about you every minute of everyday and will Love you always. 4ever missing you,  mom            xxooxoxo Close

Miss You!  / Jacque

Hey Sam! Happy Cinco de Mayo! It's been such a slow day. I've been thinking abt you a lot and miss you mucho. I've also been having dreams with you in them and it's odd. I guess it's kind of like a way to say that you're ok. It's still hard for me to believe that you're really gone, but it's slowly sinking in. I never in my wildest dreams would have ever thought I'd lose a cousin at such a young age. I know you were an all out, chaos-creating guy, but for something like this to happen is just tragic. Not a day goes by when I don't think abt you and how much I miss you. I wish wish wish that this never woulda happened. I wish that I coulda spent more time with you. I'm so thankful for the times we did hang out tho & all the wonderful memories I have. I love you and miss you everyday that you're gone. You'll forever be in my heart. Love you Cuz.

Thank You to Everyone for Keeping Sam's Memory close to Your Hearts!!!  / Joyce (Mom)

"How does one become a butterfly?"
Pooh asked pensively.
"You must want to fly so much that 
you are willing to give up
being a caterpillar." Piglet replied
"You mean to die?" asked Pooh.
"Yes and no" he answered.
"What looks like you will die,
but  what's REALLY you will
live on."

Hey Sam!  / Jacque

Hey there Sam! Just wanted to say hi. Been thinking a lot about you lately and all the memories I have. I miss you so so much. Even tho it's been 5 months, it still hasn't really hit me that you're really gone. What a heartbreaking tragedy it was to lose someone like you. You had such an impact on so so many people it's unreal. Everyone loved you deeply, regardless of the chaos you created. Know that I love you and always will forever. Your memory will live on in my heart. Not a day goes by when I don't think about you in some way. I love you and miss you lots!
