Sammy, you will be missed. You always showed compassion and love for your family and others. I remember your love for hard rock music, especially Guns and Roses and you also lived life on your terms. You were a great caregiver to your father, grandmother and your mom. I know you will continue to watch out for your mom.

Sam,
I watched you grow up from a child to an adult. You have always been kind and helpful to everyone when they needed help. You were so happy when Antonio and
Noah were born. You raised them into fine young men and they are very proud of you and the time you spent with them. You were a great caregiver to Oscar, Nanny and your Mom. You always took the time to find good in everyone. You will be greatly missed, more than you will ever know. You touched a lot of lives on your short journey here on Earth. May you rest in peace, your light will always shine bright here.
Carol
