You raised a special girl. From the first day I met her I knew there was something unique about her. Her laugh was so infectious, and her beautiful smile the first thing I noticed about her. She made you feel free to say anything without judgement. I could talk to her for hours without even knowing what about. And she was sweet and kind to her core. She knew how to have fun in any situation and she was independent and outspoken in the best ways. She was stolen too soon... she was going to make a difference and save lives. I'm so very sorry.

Samantha, I love you for all eternity. As your big sister my heart is shattered in ways I can't begin to explain. I love and admired you. Your nephews will be told stories of you often. I wish there was a way I could take your place. You were the most wise and amazing soul I've ever known. The world was a better place with you in it. I promise to be the best version of myself, the way you pushed me to be. Being your sister made my life full. Gone to soon baby girl forever and always... I love you

Although it is hard to put my feeling in words, my heart feels the pain. You, Samantha, and your family are in my thoughts and prayers, Norm. I feel honored that you brought Samantha into my life when she had breakfast with us, making her a part of our circle.
