Samantha L. BARTLEY

It can be so hard to face the new year without your loved one, but the love of family and friends can carry you through.

To the family of Samantha, I was one of Samantha's teachers at Spratley Middle School. I am so sorry to have just heard about your loss from another former student. Please know you have my prayers and that she is remembered fondly.

God bless the family in their loss. Heaven rejoice in the new arrival! I hope you can find solace in the memories of this wonderful young lady.

Our thoughts and paryaers are with you in this difficult time.To lose someone so young is always hard. My son was 11 when he passed away in a car accident. It has now been 8 years and I can tell you from experience it gets a little more bearable with time but you never forget.You always have your memories and I know that Samantha is watching over all of you. Try to live each day as if it were your last.

My Deepest sympathy goes out to Samanthas family. She was such a wonderful girl. Samantha had one of the biggest hearts and sweetest personalities. My heart goes out to all of you!

Brent and Julie...with love and deepest sympathy...I cannot imagine the pain you are feeling with the untimely loss of Samantha. She was a sweety! ...and to Casey...I know you are experiencing a great loss too. May God bless and comfort each of you.... Love ya...SuAnn

To the Bartley Family,

I was saddened to hear of the tragic death of Samantha. Samantha was a student in my English class during her junior year at Bethel High School.

Samatha was the student everyone wanted to teach; she put forth the extra effort, was pleasant and respectful and knew what she wanted in life. She often spent her lunch time in the library reading or getting ahead on assignments.

Samantha was truly one of "the good who died young." I am happy...

I knew Julie in High School. Even though it's been 40 years, my heart goes out to her and her family. I cannot possibly know their pain, they have my deepest sympathies.

Hear my prayer, O Lord; listen to my cry for mercy. Psalm 86:6
