"It is healthy and honorable to weep at the loss of someone we love. Healthy because such passion must be released. Honorable because it is respectful to admit the importance of people who have loved and supported us...people whose footprints cannot ever be matched." --Maya Angelou

Sam was my student at Play Mountain Place when he was 4-5 years old. Such a sweet boy he was. My heart is breaking for him and Belynda. I will always see him in my mind with his superman cape on and mischeivous smile. Rest In Peace, dear Sam.
