Samuel Alexander Jeffers exhaled his last exhale at 6:31 this morning at his home in Grover Beach.
Sam was diagnosed with brain cancer exactly 1 year and 1 month ago. 13 months later his fight is over, but ours has just begun. His journey in this life is complete-way too short, but complete. I have half a lifetime to comprehend and mother him as best I can from here.
My heart breaks for you. We have never met, but we are both mothers. I will hold you in my thoughts and heart dear one! So much love!
ReplyDeletehi im not sure if you remember me but im jasons mom from cottage hospital peds, jason n sammy would play together when they had chemo on the same day, everytime jason goes in for chemo he would ask for sammy and how he is doing, then we saw you all in the sm times paper and found you on facebook and jason attended the fundraiser he went looking to see you guys n hopefully see sammy, he always kept sammy in his prayers and i know he will be heartbroken to know of sammys passing, he thought of him as a friend even though they just saw each other once in a while he considered him his buddy im am truly sorry for your loss you will be in our hearts and we will pray for you in your time of need.. always bobette melena and jason melena flores

We Remember Them
ReplyDelete-Sylvan Kamens & Rabbi Jack Riemer
At the rising of the sun and at its going down
We remember them.
At the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter
We remember them.
At the opening of the buds and in the rebirth of spring
We remember them.
At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of summer
We remember them.
At the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of autumn
We remember them.
At the beginning of the year and when it ends
We remember them.
As long as we live, they too will live; for they are now a part of us as we remember them.
When we are weary and in need of strength
We remember them.
When we are lost and sick at heart
We remember them.
When we have joy we crave to share
We remember them.
When we have decisions that are difficult to make
We remember them.
When we have achievements that are based on theirs
We remember them.
As long as we live, they too will live; for they are now a part of us as we remember them.
I am so very sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing your Sam with me. He will forever be in my heart.
With very heavy hearts we grieve with the Jeffers and Edelson families. There are no words, but the love streams across the miles as we hold you in our love.

ReplyDeleteYou touched the lives of so many people that you never knew... and while this is no consolation for you, it is a small thing of beauty amongst the ugly that is pediatric cancer. Each time you think of Sammy it gives his life added length and your life added meaning. Sincerely, Bradley Egel
