Neil, Margot, Andy, & Charlie- My deepest sympathy on the passing of Sam. May the strength that Sam demonstrated help you all through this most difficult time. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. May God watch over you and bring you comfort and peace.

Our prayers are with you. Sam was such an incredible boy. I have no doubt he is watching over his brothers as well as you, Margot and Neil.
I always remember when he wanted to play goalie so bad, and you guys decided it would be ok, “We are about living!” you said Neil and Sam played a great game at goalie the next game. He packed a lifetime of living into his 9 years thanks to you two.
On Saturday after our baseball game Blake dedicated the game to Sam, our team on three shouted SAM!. He will always be in our hearts and thoughts as will the entire family.

Thomas, Jesse, Melisa, and James

Neil and Margot,
All of us at work are stunned. There are no words. I can’t imagine anyone putting up a more ferocious fight than you did. If will alone could conquer this, you would have succeeded ages ago. You are amazing parents and an inspiration to so many.
We wish you peace and strength to get through the coming days.
Warm Regards,
Judi and Jim Rower

Offering my heartfelt condolences on the loss of your beautiful son, Sam. I am instantly thinking of his sweet smile! I am forever touched by his story and the love and devotion of his family. Your previous entry is titled “Surrounded by Love and Family”–Sam and his brothers have had that from day one and counting, and they always will.
Extra prayers for Andy and Charlie.

To all of you, I am so sorry to hear about Sam. I wish you all the best, energy and strength for everything. I have been following the blog for quite some time, and even though I have seen Sam last during my exchange year with David and Suzy in 2001-2002, this still hits home quite hard. I am sending lots of love and prayers from Germany, Sam will always be in our memories and thoughts.

Dear Margot, Neil & family,
Our thoughts are with you. Although we did not know Sam well, we definitely knew his love of all things sports and were witness to his wonderful spirit.

I am terribly sorry to hear that Sam passed. As I said on the phone, I truly believe Sam earned many extra years because of your dedication to continue to fight & fight and always looking for new treatments to keep buying time till something better came along. You & your family will continue to be in my prayers for comfort and some relief of your pain. Thank you for all you’ve done for Neuroblastoma. I pray you’ll pick up & continue this fight for all of us.

Margot and Neil,
I have tried to find the words–yesterday and today, but I think I’ve come to the place of accepting there just are none which are remotely adequate so I’ll do my best to express my deep sorrow. Please know what a blessing Sam was in my life, and you both have been almost inspirational–love in action, seemingly a tireless team of parental unity and love. Always positive and moving forward, in what would be absolutely THE most difficult and challenging circumstances anyone could imagine.
You had an amazing son, who I will forever cherish. I am so, so sorry.
Love, Diane

Dear Neil, Margot and Family,
I am so very saddened and heartbroken to hear of Sam’s passing. I feel close to Sam and your family thanks to your wonderful blog. You really did an amazing job of extending Sam’s life and helping so many. I will continue to keep Sam and your family in my prayers. I believe with all my heart that Little Sam is brightening up the heavens and watching over you. He is with our little Jenna. Beautiful Angels.
May God grant you peace and comfort.

Talking after school today I asked Ian if he knew where Sam was now, and he said, “Sam is in heaven.” I asked him what he thought Sam was doing and he said, “playing hockey, God wanted him to try something new.” I’m sure Sam will love hockey just as much as he loved all the other sports that were such a big part of his life.
Love,

Out of the blue, about a year ago, Jason said “you know I think Sam is the nicest guy I know”. He was a very special boy and you should be so proud of him. He will be missed very much. We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayer are with your family.
Love, Sandy, Steve, Jason, Matt & Sammy

I am Kariannes’s aunt in Norway.
Karianne and Paul recently visited us in Norway. During this time they were talking about Sam and all the pain he was going through.
We were so sad to hear about his illness. They also told us how good parents you are and how much you have done in trying to fight this horrible disease.
So here we are in Norway, thinking of you, Sam and his brothers.
Bless his memory the brave, little boy.
Kind regards
Liv and Olav(Karianne’s uncle).
