Sammy was about 19 at the time 
 of his death. He was an excellent child.
 He was very good in backetball and he played  
 the bass guitar.  He played with kids from 
 his school and formed a band called "midnight Run"
 
    He opposed smoking, drinking, and drugs. 
 He was much too nice a boy to be taken from 
 us this early in life. He was killed at a car/train
 accident. The train didn't blow its whistle. The 
 train comes out of a woods and only takes 7 seconds 
 for the train to reach the crossing.  Since this 
 accident, flashing light and arms have been put at
 that crossing.  Another boy of 15 years of age was
 also killed in the crash when the train struck the
 car.
 
    I have several friends that have lost children
 due to unsafe driving, killed by drunk drivers. 
 It hurts me as much as it did them. I relive the
 pain all over again.
 
 Life only comes but once, and once it is gone,
 It's gone.
