In reading over the eulogy above, I realize that Sam was a MacLeod descendant, as am I. A few years ago I was able to visit "our castle" on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. She was a lovely person, and I will always remember her with great fondness. She certainly added so much to so many lives and I count it as an honor to have met and worked with her in her more artistic endeavors. She is missed.

I was with Patrick the night he met Sam at Endicott College, in Beverly, Mass. The beautiful blonde hair, the big welcoming smile and always a kind word.
I remember Sam telling a story of the time when the Aulson family was taking their boat from Beverly harbor to Cape Cod ( a considerable journey ). Anyway, half way there Mrs. Aulson remarked on how soft the sea air felt. Sam not quite knowing what she meant stood up and started pinching the air. Needless to say once Sam was informed of what Mrs. Aulson meant, she was quite chagrined and embarrassed! Later on they all had a good laugh.
She will be missed. But just the thought of her brings a smile to my face.
All our love and prayers to all who knew her. And here’s a special prayer for you Sam, from Toga Dave.
Dave Mallon & Family, Windham, N.H.

I was one who was blessed to know Sam as Ruby Tuesday. She lived such a rich life, I know she will be missed here on earth and welcomed into Heaven. God Bless those who are left to remember her. My heart goes out to the family at this very sad time.

In the Asian world people can be considered as national treasures and Sam was certainly a treasure to those who had the privilege of knowing her. She coached the Springridge Elementary PTA adults through a couple of plays (which was the most fun one can have) as well as helping to create and execute the murals by the 6th graders in the cafeteria and coaching OM for the kids. In all she was the model of grace, creativity and caring. She was truly loved by one and all. Although I have not seen her in many years, I will never forget her for she touched my heart. All my love and heartfelt sympathies to her family.

My condolences to the entire Aulson family. Although I never met Ruby Tuesday in person I got to know her through her beautiful and creative postal letterboxes. I remember the day her "Red Hat Momma" postal box arrived at my house. Oh man that was truely a work of art!
I was deeply saddened when I heard of Ruby's passing.
Good bye, Ruby Tuesday. You will be missed.

Ruby Tuesday was bigger than life in Texas letterboxing, and so much more. While she kept us entertained and inspired by her wisdom and wit, it was clear that the best she had to offer was saved for her family. I think she truly understood the idea that you can gain even more by giving freely of what you have. She has left us all with a legacy and I'm proud to have known her.
Patrick, you and the boys are in our thoughts and prayers. I know this is a difficult time for you, but know you are not alone!

Sam was a gift to all who had the honor of knowing her. How I wish I could be with everyone for the service today. Sorry I can't. Not being able to say good bye with everyone else who truly loved Sam will always be one of the biggest regrets in my life. However, I am there in spirit and in my prayers. I KNOW HOW LUCKY I AM FOR HAVING SAM AS A FRIEND. She loved her family, friends and life itself. Pat, Xander, Keith and Hawk, please know that my heart aches for all of you. She loved all of us, but the 4 of you always, always came first in her heart. My thoughts and love are with each of you.
This is written with all my love and friendship

Years ago, I received a very special book from Sam, "The Merchant of Marvels" by Frederic Clement. Sam truly was the merchant of marvels.
To Pat, Keith, Hawk and Xan. My thoughts are with you and your loved ones.

I will always remember her creativity and her diligent service to kids. I am very glad to have known her in elementary school PTA and with various neighborhood kid activities including Indian Guides, OM, Scouts and sports. Thoughts and prayers go out to her 3 boys and to Patrick, a very devoted husband.

We learned only about your loved one through the Letterboxing Texas group. Since we live in OH the pleasure has not been ours.
What a Book her life has been according to what we read. May GOD fill your life with HIS comfort at this time of your loss and may your journal memories of her for time to come.

Sam was one of those special, unique individuals a person is blessed (too rarely) to have had in their lives.
She will be missed by me...but her spirit will live on in the lives of the many others she has touched.
We are better for having known her...if only far too briefly.
Good bye, dear Sammay...

Although I never met Sam in person, we had many lively conversations through our friendship in letterboxing. She and Xander put together so many stunning gifts for us, her friends. Her personality shone through clear and strong, and I thoroughly enjoyed her wit. She will hold a place in my memory for a long, long time. My heart goes out to you, Pat, and to the boys. Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday, I'm gonna miss you.

Patrick, Xander, Hawk and Keith - My prayers are with you. Sam was such a special person. We laughed, we talked and we shared over coffee (or tea!) for a time, every week. Her pride in you was evident from the moment I met her. She always put others ahead of herself, never judging and constantly supporting anyone who needed it. I know that she is on a grand adventure, safe in God's love, watching you with pride.
Peace to you.

I was so saddened to here of Sam's death. I knew her through VOMBO where we were on the Board together. She was a hard working enthusiastic supporter and her energy was amazing. I will miss her.
