Sammy's story is heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time. The 18-year-old passed away last summer from complications during a routine wisdom tooth removal procedure. He became a hero to six families through organ donation.
Amy, alongside Eric Roush, her husband and Sammy’s father, explained how they had written letters to the recipients of Samuel’s organs.
“We wanted them to feel comfortable communicating because that was part of our healing a little bit,” Amy said. “If those people were willing to talk to us to know that they were okay, that our child in a way lived on through them.” “And that our unexpected tragedy would somehow help other people live,” Eric added.“We wanted to help spare other families our sorrow.”“Sammy was a beautiful soul,” Eric said of his son. “We are blessed for having been his parents and will forever be saddened by his loss.”Orange Park Hospital honors organ donors. The organization works to fund research and successful treatments for individuals living with autism.
