Mike, Donna, Meghan, and Ben,
I have been thinking of you all, and I will continue to do so. As I look back on those Terrace Park years, babysitting for Ben and Sam were some of the best memories. Early on, it was an easy gig for my Saturday mornings. Upon waking, Ben would tear down the stairs and head right over to my house to play Nintendo with Brandon. A few minutes later, and I would hear Sam, slowly sliding down the stairs as he was still waking up. He would come and cuddle quietly by me on the sofa until he was ready for some cereal. He had a gentle spirit as a child, and in reading the memories of him shared by others, as well as what he shared on social media, I know this was always at the core of who he was. I know you all loved him fiercely, and he you. I know so little in this life, but one thing of which I am certain, is that love always remains. May you feel it surrounding you.

With great sadness we extend our heartfelt condolences to the Chozen family. Sam fought an epic battle and was so blessed to have his family by his side for these many months. Your unwavering devotion to Sam stands as a testament of faith, a great example to us all, and a celebration of life ever-after.
God bless the Chozen family!

Mike & Donna -
Words seem so feeble in moments like these. Life is so precious and death is such a thief. The depths of your pain we cannot comprehend, but we stand alongside you in your darkness. Love is bond that death cannot part and while he is gone from your arms, he will forever be in your hearts. Know you are in our thoughts and prayers.
