Sam has always had a very special place in my heart. She was like another daughter to me during her Enfield Elementary School days, and I always enjoyed seeing her smiling face around town as time went on. Vera, Steve and Austin, I am so sorry for your, and our, loss. She was loved by many, and will definitely be missed.

Vera, my prayers of healing and love go out to your family.
