Michele,

My sympathy goes out to you and your family at this time of loss. My memories of your children goes back to their elementary days. My prayers are with you.

In 2012, I was a student at Community College of Denver when I met a brilliant applied math student named Sam Forgy. Sam understood topics I found incomprehensible, and he won myself and others over with his sharp wit and satirical sense of humor. While working hard as a tutor and acing his classes, Sam found time to compose music and launch weather balloons in the name of science. Any problems that Sam may have had in the past seemed long behind him, and he transferred to CU Boulder with one of the brightest futures imaginable.

The last time I saw Sam, he was excited to take part in a new internship, using complex math and physics to control satellites. Now the internship he worked so hard for is vacant, just part of the hole that Sam's death left in the world. I wanted so badly to see what Sam would do, and I still can't believe that I never will. I'm grateful that the world and I had him as long as we did, but it's a tremendous tragedy, a tremendous sorrow to have lost him.

We are so sorry to hear about Sam. We lost our daughter at the age of 22, too. It is so hard to lose our children. It isn't suppose to be this way. Now our memories have to get us through the day. May God grant you comfort and peace.

Michelle:

I am so very sorry to hear about your son's passing. He sounds like he was

a very special young man. Please know that you are in my thoughts and in

my prayers.

Michele,

I knew you at Core and want to say how sorry I am about Sam. I had him while substitute teaching and I know that he was a special, multi talented young man. Most of all, however he was your son. I send you love and sympathy. Yours, Leora Houghton

Michele, Aunt Dolly and ALL, Audry called and told us the news. We are all so very sorry to hear about Samuel. My heart breaks for you. I think the only time I saw him was at Uncle Carl's funeral when he and my granddaughter spent time together. Love and prayers go out to you at this time. If you want to talk let me know.

So very sorry for your loss.

Hi,

We didn't know Sam but our family and many of our friends were deeply affected by his senseless death. We decided to create a memorial near his apartment so the greater community could see that he was a human being who is being mourned. We are encouraging people to leave messages for Sam & your family there. I'm so sorry for your loss. May his memory always be a blessing.

Here are a couple of photos we took of the memorial we made.

May you find peace.

As Sam's 8th grade teacher at South East for both American Studies and Seminar, I remember a young man who had an absolutely brilliant mind, and who had the most amazing ways of looking at the world. I thought he would change people's minds and people's lives, and I'm certain he did.

My sympathies to his family and friends. The world is a lesser place without him.

Sam is one of the most intelligent people that I have ever met. It was a pleasure to know him and I am glad to call him a friend. I think about him everyday and I wish I could see him again. I wish I could be there tomorrow but my thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

So sorry for your loss. May God comfort you.
