To Sammy, a lover of Beef Rendang and Trees, and a truly inspirational person.

He sounded a splendid young man with such lovely thoughts about the natural world. In his short life he had high ideals which were a credit to him.

We are looking forward to following in Sammy's footsteps, helping to plant the grove in the spring.

With love

Sadly I did not have the honour of meeting you Sammy, but I know your Mum so you had to be a fine young man.

The measure of one’s life isn’t how good we feel about ourselves but about how good we make others feel about themselves, Sammy’s life was truly immeasurable.

Sammy, I will never forget your laughter and your unique sense of humour. I am thankful for all the lovely memories. Your favourite cousin from Germany

I remember the good times we had in Northumberland

Trees are always a good idea. Love from the Parkes family.

A wonderful friend to so many. X

You were a fine young man, Sammy - live on through your trees.

To an amazing person who inspired so much love and courage. You have made the world a better place by being here and I am sorry not to have known you longer, but grateful to have known you at all.xxx

Live on in these trees of life.

Sleep well young man, the dappled light amid the branches will provide warmth within your presence.

Thanks for all your help, enthusiasm and friendship with us at DofE. You remain an inspiration to us.

Thinking about the wonderful welcome and friendship you gave us when we arrived in Alne. Thankyou for the happy memories. A perfect tribute to Sammy. X

For our lovely Grandson with love

I always loved your quick wit and sense of fun, and genuine interest in others. A fine young man who was great company.

Lovely memories of you, Holly & Fizz at Westfield. You always loved to be outdoors and this is a most fitting tribute to you.

Given with memories of happy childhood days.

To a very special young man, with all our love.

With all our love.

A love of tree's, a love of books, a love of nature and the star's above.

Sammy was always up a tree so our donation comes with many lovely memories looking for the boys up and above us! Such a treat of a childhood with innocence and developing skills all wrapped up in fun.

RIP mate. Will never forget the laughs we had in Latin class :)

Sending you all so much love. Sammy will always live on in our hearts.

To the hundreds of hours spent with each other. Thankyou for making my childhood so fruitful and teaching me so much

With love from Helen and Roland

May these trees blossom and flourish in your memory.

Rest in peace Sammy. The Grove is a fitting memory for a fine young man taken too soon.

Remembered so fondly.

I knew Sammy, albeit to a limited degree, throughout my Secondary school years. I have some fond memories of him that I will always treasure. A genuine, kind person whom I will miss.

For Sammy, a brother who now sleeps amongst the branches.

A wonderful young man, who I was privileged to know. DofE will always mean so much for so many school children in Easingwold, because Sam was the enthusiasm behind it.

A tree for you and a tree for me, we will grow together for eternity.

From our family to yours, five trees, with love xxxxx

From tractors rides on the farm when you were a toddler, to helping you choose your first car, it was a pleasure to see you grow up.

I will always remember when we used to play hide and seek around the house in the dark. Going to miss you lots Sammy :(

I loved going on walks in the woods with you and I will miss you but think about you every time I go.

I never knew Sammy but i know well some of the people his death has affected and it's obvious that he was well loved. Rip.

All our Love Sammy

Rest in peace dear Sammy xxx

With love for a very special Sammy, I had the honour to see grow up. A handsome, clever, kind sole who will always be in my heart and have very fond memories. Xxxx

For Sammy with love and happy memories of playing at the beck.

For a wonderful person, taken too soon.

I only met Sammy when he was a little boy, but I was very sad to hear the news of first his illness and then his passing. Sending condolences to all the family Carol

For Sam - following his fine example and planting some trees. He would love it if we could add some wolves as well!
