My little girl. How I will miss you so. You was my dauhter, my angel and my best freind. It will be tough not to see your smile and sparkling eye's everyday. I'll miss your laughter and the many time's you tried to make me feel good when i was down. I was not here to see you take your first breath as I was away on business but I will forever be honored that you was with me for your last. Things must happpen for a reason and god needed you know. After your passing we found you would have turned ill and it would have been a tough road. You left this place with no pain and no knowledge, for that I'm happy that you did not suffer. I will miss all of the plans we made together for the future. 2010 and beyond was suppose to be our time. You was taken way to early from me. I'm trying as hard as I can to understand why.Why now and why so young. The day will come when we will be together again and that time the world will be ours no pain no stress just our love and happiness. I miss you so bad lou lou and I hope you approved of how I handled your passing and your memorial. You touched so many people's lives. That was obviouse by the turn out to say good-bye. Please look in on your old man from time to time. I love you with all my heart and I will deeply miss you until we meet again.
Love you with all my heart, Dad

Sammy,
Although we didn't have the same parents, your mom has always been one of my older sisters. You are my little sis. I relish the years growing up with you, laughing and playing at grandma mary's. I will miss the look you always gave me, just to get me to smile, how easy it was for you to make me laugh. You will always have a place with me. I miss you ever so dearly as I will always keep you memories with me. Thank you sam, it has been my honor to know you.

Love always,

I know I've wrote in your guest book once before, but I caught myself wondering if you can see this.
I miss you a lot Sammy!
Looking back on our childhood and the memories we shared whether it was running throught the neighborhood with the endless amount of freedom we had, getting a sugar high from all that candy we got from your dad or hanging out at your grandma Valene's, we always had such a great time!
Falling out of contact is one thing but not having the chance to make more memories is another.
I wish neither would have happened but also hope you are so happy where you are now.
You were always such a beautiful person, inside and out and had such a fun sense of humor.
You were and still are loved by so many, I hope you know how wonderful you are.
You will always be in my heart.
Love,
Liz

Words cannot express how saddened I was to hear of Samantha's passing. Unfortunately we only knew each other for the briefest of moments at family holiday gatherings. Regardless, her life touched mine and I am so grateful. Her smile, her sparkling eyes and her kindness will live forever in the hearts and memories of all who loved her. My deepest condolences to Ty, Lara, Uncle Gene, Aunt Charlyn, Wilf, Sandy, Grandpa Reed, Grandma Louise and all the rest of her family and friends.
With Love,

To sam's family-I am deeply sorry that life has dealt these horrible cards. But i believe that sam is in a safe happy place. There she has time to do the things she loves with no limit. She has truely touched an uncountable amount of lives. I celebrate her life like she would have wanted, Not a day will pass that i don't remember the heart she had, And that is a promise.
To all of sam's friends- New and old. It's times like these when we realize how precious our lives are. I think we should all take some time out of our lives to remember each and every single thing sam taught us. wether good or bad. I personally wouldn't be the same person with our her. she taught me that friends can be forever, and that nothing should break such a special bond. I wish we had satayed in touch because now all i have is her memories. I love her for exactly who she is. I don't think we should cry for her. We should cry for us. we are the ones who lost.
To sam- I love you. Please watch over us who are still here. I don't think you even know how much we all looked up to you. Our little group of friends have made it through the best of times. Man were we young and naive. But Naive as we were, We were always strong. Thankyou for everything.

Sam,
It took me until today to realize you were never coming home. I was always the annoying little sister who would sneak into your room, but when we got older we got closer and I regret the harsh words we said but know I cant ever take them back. I know understand that we have to love and care for everyone everyday like it could be our last.
Love Kel

Samantha was a childhood friend of mine, and although I haven't talked to her for sometime, I was still very crushed to hear of her passing. Every year she never forgot to leave a valentines day card in my mailbox and she could always make you laugh.
I am so sorry for your loss, she will be missed!
Love, Liz
