Sammy Berko was dead. The Missouri City, Texas teen had collapsed and gone into cardiac arrest while at a rock climbing gym. For two hours paramedics and doctors worked to revive Sammy, to no avail. Two hours. Finally, they told his mother Jennifer “I’m so sorry. He’s gone.”

Compounding their grief, just three years ago, the couple had lost son Frankie to the same genetic mutation that affected Sammy’s heart.

Now, Jennifer and her husband Craig sat with Sammy, saying their goodbyes to a second son.
