I was one of Samantha's Brownie/Girl Scout Leaders when she was in grade school at St. Anastasia in Waukegan. She was a very enthusiastic Brownie. Her dad and Grandpa Jack sold tons of cookies for Troop 1072!! Sam's grandma came to one of our meetings and helped the girls make Christmas wreaths. Such good people!! I just pulled out the old scrapbooks and Sam is smiling or making a funny face in all of the photos. She rarely missed a meeting and loved the animal badges. There is a v cute photo of her in a popcorn sweater she "created and modeled" for a fashion show. Big, big smile on her sweet face. Such v good memories of those days. I am so sorry for your loss.
