Could it be a test of our faith, and fortitude? After all, nothing much worse than this can ever happen to anyone. We wonder why someonw would do what Sam did, buth then he was a very, very good person, as related to me by my sister "Cordy". I had never met Sam. I am sure he was so young he just could not handle the current situation. At his age he never had such a catastrophe happen to him, and did not realize that time would have cured, or at least softened his sorrow, and that he would have survived it. But, don't anyone blame themselves , or anyone else for what has happened. He was in a cave of despair, and frustration, which he felt had no end, and from which he absolutely could not escape. But, let us not despair also, because some day, when our time comes to go, he will be there to greet us, and then all of this will not matter anymore. God Bless.

I just wanted to let you know I am so sorry for your loss. I couldn't even begin to imagine the pain your family is going through right now. I have seen all the posts from the kids at his school on Facebook and they bring me to tears. He was so loved by anyone that knew him. From what I can tell he was the kid that brought a smile to everyone's face, the friend you could talk to about anything, someone you could count on. He was a goofball and he loved to have fun but could be serious when he needed to be. You should be proud he was a great kid. I hope you are able to find peace within after you lay him to rest.
