I loved him so much and honestly there is not a memory of our family that he wasn’t involved in. I believe my favorite memory was when we went camping on the beach in our brand new camper. Everyone was on the beach fishing while little Sammy and I laid in the camper watching madea movies. I am so blessed to call him my uncle. I will dearly miss him. I love you Little Sammyheart

Dear Land Family, I am sorry to learn of little Sammy’s passing. I know Mom greeted him with the biggest hug and smile. She loved him and all of you so much! I have many fond memories of little Sammy and parts of my childhood spent at the Lands. He sure was blessed with one of the best families you could ask for. My prayers are with you all! Love, Rhonda McKeel
I spent alot of time with Tammy & lil Sammy when I was a little girl. Swiming, running through the yard & sleep overs with Tammy. Never a dull moment, the air was always filled with laughter.
