Samuel Laurence Schams

Sammy was born October 23, 2006, in La Crosse, to Laurence Larry and Jeanette Jen (Schuster) Schams. Sammy adored his little sister, Allie, with all his heart. He especially loved dinosaurs and expressed a desire to be a paleontologist when he grew up, and an astronaut, and a farmer. Sammy was blessed with a sunny disposition, a zest for living and learning, and an incredible spontaneous wit. Sammy captured our hearts in his five and one half years on this earth. We love you Sammy and we will miss you dearly.

Sammy is survived by his parents and his sister, Allison Rose Schams; his maternal grandparents, John and Beverly Schuster of Waunakee, Wis.; his God-father, Uncle John (Lauralei) Schuster of Madison and Uncle, Dr. Rick and Suzette Renwick of La Crosse; his Great Grandmother, Mary Fehling of Beaver Dam, Wis.; his paternal grandparents, William and Shirlee Schams of La Crosse; Uncle Steve (Christine) Schams and cousins, Jacob (Kristin), Stephanie, Benjamin, Kevin and Bridget Schams; Uncle Chuck Schams and cousin Morgan Schams; Aunt Sherry (Tim) Wuebben and cousins, Melissa (Patrick ) Allen, Aaron and Michelle Wuebben; Uncle Bill (Heidi) Schams, and cousins Ryan, Kelly, and Erin Schams; and his God-mother, Aunt Lori (Richard) King, and cousins Shelbi and Christopher Marx, and step-cousins, Carrie and Ally King.
