Sam is my classmate in Cal State LA, nurse practitioner program. He is a diligent student with good grades. He is very kind and helpful to everyone. It's hard to believe that this happened.

Sam was in my MSN program too. He very much stood out among us as an incredibly bright, fun, positive person - who, as Paulyne said, often generously helped his peers. Such an ending to his life is unbelievable.
We'll miss you very much, Sam. May you dwell in peace.
