Yo shelby, just thinking about you. Hope things are going as well as they can be. …as you know, the beach house donates to different great causes each week. Most of the charities I do, the families come to me and many times I do not know them on a personal level. We are now putting together the outdoor band schedule and gearing up for special events. I would love to put my energy, hard work, and business to raising funds for you or simply have an oyster roast, pig picken or whatever you would desire. If you don’t want the attention, I def understand, in that case I can just name a spectacular shot after you and give you the proceeds. Think about it and let me know what you think. Any source and anytime of day or night you can call text message etc
talk to ya late

Sam – we hardly know you beyond cheering on the Seahawks for the last several years. We are somewhat connected through Mike and Cara Foucht but beyond that I’d say we are acquaintances. None the less, ever our short encounters have left us with the impression that you are once pretty cool dude. Alex always asked about you before games and was happy to see you when you were there (not just for the m&m’s) It is clear that you are a positive person and your smile is one that is contagious to those around you. We admire your continued positive outlook on the hand that you are being forced to play in life. We have have no doubt that you will play it well. Please let us bring you food when you are here. I don’t want to beg and bug you so text me and we’ll be there. Love, prayers and tons of positive energy coming your way.

Damn it! I just heard the news from Zal. Man, I am so sorry. You know the Phoenix Mojo Warriors have your back. I know we haven’t connected in some time, but you are never far from my thoughts. The good times in Phoenix were some of the best ever. Now the Scalzo family is sending you all the Nor Cal mojo there is. Sam, I will do anything – and I mean anything – for you. Just say the word. 503 475 3214. You know, I never liked the fucking Gap Band……

Sam,
I just want you to know I’m thinking of you daily and I am sending positive energy your way. I also know you will squash this shit as well because you are indeed a mojowarrior! For some reason I still can laugh when I think about the time I mispronounced the word margarine in the 6th grade and you corrected me with your sarcastic tone and it made me laugh when I should have probably been embarrassed LOL. You are an amazing person! If you need anything let me know. Snacks,Duke gear to keep you warm while you bunk at UNC at times (hehe)… anything 🙂 I Loooooove you brother!

I don’t know you, but I saw the post on the Surfriders FB page and I wanted to reach out and wish you luck, strength and love as you kick this cancers butt. My brother was diagnosed with this cancer Sep 2013 and my family lost him at the age of 61 on June 12, 2014. It appeared he had beat the cancer off. He was to go in June 11 for his last biopsy on the lung to be certain, but he had a fever that day and and he was in a lot of pain, mostly in legs and knees. And they postponed the surgery and sent him home with no further observation of why he had the fever or was in so much pain. He passed sometime that night or early the next morning alone at his home. There wasn’t an autopsy done, for reasons that still upset me, so we will never know the actual cause of his death, but the information we have leads to a blood clot that caused his death. We later learned that the treatment made him more susceptible to blood clots. We should have been paying closer attention to him, because he was tired and confused by all the changes his body was going through. It sounds like you have a great support group. Make sure you have an advocate that pays close attention to every little change your body is going through. Maybe keep a daily journal of your pain, physical well being and any changes. We learned so much after, that we should have known before. We didn’t know all the right questions to ask. We were so focused on just the cancer and not the possible side affects. I can tell by those who know you that you are strong and determined. You got this! Hugs!
