Sam decided he was ready to go to heaven! We got to spend some precious moments with him before he decided it was time to become our little angel. We love him very much and are so proud at how hard he fought! Thanks for all the prayers.

Lord God, please wrap your loving arms around Keenon & Ryan in these difficult days ahead. Please surround them with friends and family to show them Your love and comfort them in their grief. Father, we know that sweet baby Samuel is with you right now and the angels are loving on him and he is in the best hands possible. Thank you for blessing his mommy and daddy with the short time they did have with him. Please give them the peace that only You can give.
Amen

Lucky Sam....sleeping with the angels today. No pain, no tears! Much harder for you two here on earth feeling the emptiness. I pray God fills that emptiness with love, laughter, grace, and peace. Thank you for sharing Sam's life with us. What an unselfish thing to take time to do. Your faith has been inspirational!
