Well Sweetie my precious Pooh Bear it´s is 13yrs ago today that you started your transition journey from earth to glory. I could talk about you every day. I´m just grateful that God allowed you to be born into our family as the baby girl. Who I have to admit was spoiled but the baby of the family usually is. I have so much I could say but I don´t want to write book.
Sammi we love & miss you so much. I better stop now maybe I will write something tomorrow on the final day.
Until we meet on the great day of his appearing rest well in Jesus.

Sammi, we think of you so often. I´m grateful for having you in our lives for 29plus years. Just know you are truly loved and missed. We will see you in the morning on that great day of his coming. Until then rest in the saviors arms.

Peace, Love, and Blessings,
Sometimes Sam this just does not seem real! But, I know that it is and that I have to accept this. I feel you so often and think of you more than I could ever say..and honestly, I like keeping you this close..the connection is Spiritual and fortifying. I know you can understand in ways I cannot speak of here. Just know I surely miss you (in the physical) and love you bunches. I am sure you didn't really know how big of an impact you were making in people's lives! Or..did you?? I can say you are never forgotten. I honor you and the good works you have done. Life is a continuum. We pass thru the birth gate to enter Mother Earth and pass thru the death gate to reside in the Spirit realm...reside meaning to dwell there without the physical vessel. I understand more now and someday we all will REMEMBER the 'cycle of life' as this is NOT our only transitioning..We are all Ancestors returning again and again. You are an old Soul!
Thank you for sharing love and your gifts!
The Great Awakening.

Samantha I listen to recordings of you and I still laugh. Even though you left so suddenly I am grateful for the many memories we shared in the family. You always wanted to keep us in check on reality on serious issues and managed to keep us laughing as well for a balance. Thank you for sharing so much. I know you are still alive in Spirit literally! A great Change is underway! We shall meet on your side and shout the Victory! Love you my dear niece, Your Aunt KP- Adwoa Nefertuaten

Sammi as we come upon the 11th year anniversary of your departure from earth to glory. We just want you to know how much we still love you so much sweetie. we still miss your presence in our family. At times we wonder what life would be like if you were here. Our goal is to make heaven our home so we can see you again. Some days are better than others we are still trying to find that new normal but it´s difficult at times . We know that our God makes no mistakes and everything he does is in his divine will. So until we meet again our love for you remains the same.
Loving you Always

PoohBear it’s been 9 yrs since we were able to get that last hug &kiss . I’m still missing you so much,I remember our last conversation in the hospital.We were getting excited about you coming home. I had your Tee Tee Marsha and your brother get your room ready for the new bed we brought. I had already got the doctors instructions on what your were to eat. He mention a green veggie at dinner. I said no problem we do that anyway.She loves veggie all but limabeans yuck . But in the morning it was not so. Our loving saviour had another plan. He wanted you to help 59 others get a 2nd chance. He knew you were the perfect match. So we accept HIS will and say We will see you in the morning.
Loving you always ❤Mommi ❤

Like a flower blossoming in the Spring and its petals still wet with dew or rain..your life touched so many just as refreshing. You brought rays of sunshine to those around you. But even when you didn't feel quite so bubbly your presence still affected others to want to help or ask if you were alright. We cared but then to see how You shared your heart giving so much through your encouragement, your songs and music and more. It was just when you were getting into another phase of life when suddenly....you were gone. Such a shock! Disbelief...but then reality sets in and one must come to know that this is the cycle of life-- we come and we go..an old Spirit-Soul from long ago..such as was manifest through the words of wisdom you shared. You taught me when you were only about two years old that 'adults' may think they know so much until the baby speaks a wise saying which puts all the so-called adults to shame. I truly miss you!!
Rest on Samantha... (I hear and see and We shall all come to know soon about this place of rest.) Auntie Karen P.

It's been a year, Sami. I miss you exactly the same and your absence from this world still hurts. I wish that I had known sooner so that I could have come to see you one last time. God knows why he does or allows what he does, right?

I am so grateful to have been able to call you friend and sister. I hold on to how we always laughed so much and how beautiful your voice was. I will never forget your kindness and how you touched so many people.

We're celebrating me and Jackson's birthdays today. I'm going to be thinking of you as we enjoy the festivities. I know how you love a gathering of friends.

God will continue to give us all strength and we will surely see you again. I love you!

One year ago today, you left this earth to be with the Lord. I take comfort in knowing that you gave life even in your death. Many people received another chance because of your gift. What a blessing! My heart is heavy and I can't describe what I feel right now. I miss you so much and wish I could hear you or see you again. What I wouldn't give to hear you sing again or act silly or come in the house, talking on the phone... I know we will meet again one day, but it doesn't change the fact that my sister is not here now. I know God will give us strength to make it through. Missing you and loving you with all my heart! Love your big sis, Nicole

Hey Cuz, Sorry it took me so long to sign your book I am not one to express my feelings too often but know that I think of you often. It is so hard for me to believe it has been a year now. I can remember getting ready to head to class when I received a call from my mom saying you had passed away. I could not believe you were gone. I remember being so excited when we were kids and you came to stay at grandma's house we had so many great laughs and I will always keep those memories of you. I wish we could have made more memories but God had other plans for your life. I thank God for the times we did share together and have peace knowing that one day we will meet again in heaven.

hey beautiful. Its hard to believe it has been a year. Just thinking about all that has gone on since the last time i saw, spoke, hugged ,kissed you. I just remember planning to see u and get you home safe, but God had a home for you already prepared. I miss you daily.You'd be very proud of me Im doing really well. I'm making sure everything is taken care of to the best of my abilities, and checking in on the family. You know we still have our daily talks, or i'll look up to the sky and just smile thinking about how much you've impacted my life. I know everything is different now. I miss our laughs, your voice, your jokes and comical nature. Its so much babe I cant even think of it. The pain sometimes is unbearable. I keep to myself and stay busy most days but I am beginning to understand now. I do appologize i havent signed this book as much but you know my heart. I deal in my own way. But i do keep you very close to my heart and i visit you often. I miss you sam and I'll never ever forget you. You'll be with me always. Your big Brother Ivan Jr.

Sam I remember hanging out with u at the convention back in 96. We tried to look our best and make sure EVERY strand of hair was in place and our lipgloss was perfect! Lol Then we treated ourselves to virgin strawberry daiquiries and swore that the lady accidently put alcohol in them because we couldn't stop bouncing on the hotel beds! Lol smh! That was thee best national ever Sam! I can't believe its been a whole year already cuz. Yesterday I couldn't stop crying in the shower thinking about u...but God reminded me to stay strong and keep on keeping on because this wasn't the end and I'm certain I will see u again. When I read ur posts on fb I would instantly burst out laughing! U were so naturally hilarious and down to earth : ) I really hate we never got to plan that girls cousins trip. I wish u had a chance to meet Hannah, my baby girl. I think I marked her cuz she is such a lil crybaby, because I found ouy I was preggo with her a few days before I got the news that u went home. U know what....u were truly an angel and U obviously fulfilled ur Godgiven purpose so God turned the "street lights" out and told u it was time to come in the house...His house : ) we love u and will ALWAYS hold u in our hearts!

Hi, I never met your daughter Samantha but I wish I would have. From hearing and reading about Her, I can tell that she was an extraordinary human being. She was a "Angel among Us"..who left an amazing legacy in such a short lifetime. When God wants to bless us He puts certain Ppl in our lives..and what a Blessing she was! My thoughts and prayers will be with this family. I know that God is with you. May Gods peace and anointing saturate you, as you finish your life's journey. Sincerely....with love..~Peaches~

March 23, 2013

This morning I arose to give God praise for allowing me to see a new day. Then I thought about you Pooh Bear, it's 1yr to the date that we woke up together in the hospital . Even though you had a very uncomfortable night you were still with me. We were blessed with the best Doctors in the world . The staff at the Marcus Stroke Neuroscience Center was outstanding we really were treated with the utmost respect , they treated my daughter like she was theirs and for that I give God all the glory!!. This day was filled with lots of test & blood work which Pooh was not a fan of being stuck every 4 hours . Once we found out what was wrong then we asked can you fix it & will she be okay. The answers were yes to both with the exception of changing her diet and she would have to be on a certain medication for life. But we thought we can deal with that.
As the days progress and it seemed as though the plan was working . Sammi wanted me then to let our family & friends know what was going on so they could pray for a speedy recovery. My own Mommi was with us cuz she was visiting that month. So the Dr came in to let us know that Sammi pooh was responding very well to the treatment. So I asked the doctor would she be well enough to go to her graduation in May, his reply was if she felt up to it he saw no problem. Then as we began to talk he was admiring her career choice , and said how he was impressed with all that she had accomplished in such a short amount of time . We were truly blessed to God be the glory... Oh how much we think about you we are missing you sooo much Sammi Pooh. Daddy, Nikki , & Randy we think of you daily we feel you in every room of the house. We paused when its time to eat together cuz your seat is empty but we still set a place in honor of your life.
Mommi :--)))

Dear Samantha,
When I met you I knew I had made a friend for life, and though you are no longer here physically you will always live in my heart... You were the kind of friend that I needed because you were honest, loving, nurturing, and silly.. I never thought that a friendship that developed so quickly would have such an impact on who I am.. As I sing every day now I remember the things that you taught me and I smile because I know I would't be the singer that I am or doing what I'm doing without your encouragement and wisdom... Thank you for Loving me Samantha and being a true friend to me... I will love you as long as I live, and I'm better because I knew you.. I Will Love You Always! ~Wyn

Sammi, It's hard to believe we're in 2013 and it's almost been a year since you made your transition. You are missed very much and thought of all the time.I thank God for the time we had together. I know if I keep doing what's right I will see you again one day. Until then, rest on in Jesus. I love you sis!!

Samantha, Thanks for being such a leader in everything you were involved in. You were younger than me but I looked up to you. I loved the creative attributes that you owned about yourself. Hey, I actually cut off all my hair because you made it look so easy... thank God you had a blog for me to follow or I would have relaxed it again by now (smile). You encourage me everyday to live a saved life so that I can end up in eternal bliss soon and very soon. Love you.

It's so hard to say goodbye to you, like the song says its hard to say goodbye to yesterday. But it's hard to say goodbye to you. I know we will see you again on that great day that of our Lord's appearing .

Pooh, you know the hardest thing for me is cooking & watching the food network .Our Saturday mornings is still very hard to do I can't watch it , I really haven't cooked a meal like we used to do . It's just daddy and me now, I just need God to infuse me with his power . I know in time I will throw down as you would say, but not yet . As soon as I walk in the kitchen and get ready to take out the seasoning that I would be using for the meal, I start crying and can't finish. Guess what your daddy has become a great cook now he is doing more cooking , and he is taking awesome care of me pooh bear.
But it won't be long now until our Lord will soon return for his people . It's been 9 months since you closed your eyes and left us for your new home in glory... Our love will never cease, it's grows everyday we miss that smile, that hug, those kisses . As the scripture says to be absent from the body, is to be present with The Lord. I know if you had a choice you would not want to return to this world.
Missing you always

My dearest pooh bear , we did you proud by completing your task of doing daddy's surprise birthday celebration . It was a two day elegant affair . We had a semi-formal banquet at the Renaissance Hotel at the Atlanta airport in the big banquet hall . The decor was black & white Sis Green did the decorations the chair covers were white satin with black bows on the chairs. The tables were black with a white cloth on top with black napkins . Then me & daddy had a sweetheart table with black & white we had a candle with a rose round flower centerpiece on our table with rosé pedals sprinkle all around the front of our table. Pooh you would have been so proud of me & Nikki,Randy along with their church family.
Dad had no clue at all . Cuz we kept it such a secret. Bishop Raul Bradley from SC as the keynote speaker the topic was God's Man of Purpose. First Lady Shirley Moore sung Happy Birthday & It Is Well. everything was great some of our guest could not make it. However Quintina & Marcus came . The dinner was off the chart elegant, 4 course plated dinner . I had a videographer & a photographer hired your dad had on a tuxedo and he was so handsome . Then Sunday was part two of this wonderful celebration. In the morning Aunt Gwen preached "it's time to come Home". She did an outstanding job then we had a 4:00pm service the speaker was Bishop Joel Trout he preach Grace for Grace . When he said that you are given a measure of grace after a great trial we cried because we thought about you and how much we all miss you. We r having a rough time baby especially your Mommi. I cry every day some days it's all day long . But somedays are better than others, we are making it with the help of the Lord.
The choirs did a good job Sharon Moore sung the song. I'm chasing after you . she sings good, their second song was my worship is for real. . The Lord really blessed Harvesttime choir sung too but I don't remember the name of it . I never heard it before but it was good . Then we gave Daddy his gift the love offering from the night and then my gift from Nicole Randy & I . We finally brought him up to the 21 century with his own iPad. He came home and was trying to set things up. Then he said If you were here you would have taken his iPad and said Daddy give it oo me let me set hinge up for you . We miss you sooo much baby. God is the only one who is giving us strength to go through this trial of loss.
I still haven't gone through your things baby . We just emptied the storage center and it was so hard for daddy after that. But we really love you and I just want to write down how we carried out your wish for your daddy to have a elegant 55th birthday celebration.
Loving You More & More

My dearest Pooh Bear,
It's about time for Thanksgiving and I miss you sooo much baby, my heart just bleeds for you. I know you are rejoicing in your new home . I just miss your presence with me. I miss our girls day out, I miss you making me one of your new dishes you've prepared. But Pooh most of all I really miss your voice, the talks, the songs of praise and listening to you worship our Lord and saviour . You know saying "Time heals all wounds" well that's just a saying no truth to it. Just as I am typing the words on this page the tears are just falling from eyes, my heart has nothing but love for you.
Pooh we are trying to figure out what to do about this wonderful celebration on Thursday . We had sooo much fun preparing for this holiday. But this time are hearts are heavy because you will not be with us . We will continue to be thankful that God put you in our lives for 29 years. We love & appreciate God that the wonderful gift he gave us was you. We will forever be thankful for that. So as I prepare to sign off for now . I will forever keep your memory alive. Oh guess what your little duckie says he misses you calling him that . He knows that you are in heaven with Jesus but when he comes over looking at your pictures he looks for you in the house. Thats when I tell him that we will never forget you, I will keep your memory alive for him, and for all who knew and loved you .
Loving you always Pooh :-))

There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about you. You are loved and missed very much. I wish you could have been here just a little while longer, but God knows best. You are resting safe in His arms. I know we will see you again in glory. Until we meet again.. Love you much!

Sami Pooh ,
As we approached your 6 month date of your leaving our awesomely lovingly family unit. It just blows my mind went I think on the natural side of things . I'm like WHAT I can't believe that our pooh bear is gone and not returning to the life of the Gordon clan .
But on the spiritual side of it . I'm a jealous that you now reside in heaven and I want to be there so bad. I'm like you are with the saints of God who are awaiting ther heavenly reward.
So I can rejoice and give God all the praise hat you were saved at a early age and the good thing.about that is that you loved living for our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ.
So until then we will keep fighting te good fight of Faith .
We will see you again. Loving you always :))

Hey sis Samantha!
I miss you sooo much! You have been a blessing to my sister and I. I really enjoyed having you as a friend and Sunday school teacher. I've learned so much from your teachings and just how you lived your life as an example for us to follow. Even after your passing I had a dream that you were still smiling like you always were. I appreciate everything that you've done for me.

Hey Sis Samantha!!!

I miss you soo much. You were a blessing to everyone including me. I remember when you use to make us memorize bible scriptures in sunday school and teach us the word from our teen books. I really enjoyed them. You were so creative with everything. You taught us how to dance and to act in plays, even when you weren't feeling your best. You always gave your all, in church and school. I'm so proud of you!! Thanks for being an example for us of how we should work for the Kingdom of God and to always put him 1st in order to succeed in life.
Love,

Gabrielle

Now they are both saved and filled with The Holy Ghost. Your are truly and sadly missed. I Appreciate every moment that I had the opportunity to see you. I know that you in a better place now. Until we meet again Rest in Jesus Sis Samantha.Love Sis Jahnna

I am so thankful for the wonderful relationship that we had with each other, I really miss our Saturdays when you , Nikki and I would spend our days together starting with the Book Nook lunch, pedicure, movie and a late dinner,

We are now praying and asking God to remove the sting & pain so our memories can be of great laughter. Since you were truly your father child when it came to being the comedian We miss your laughter, your smile. And most of all that beautiful angel voice that God blessed you with , and you returned it back to him with all your might, We love you sooo much ,your sis misses you & your brother especially your Daddy (he has a heavy heart when it comes to you) .

I'm missing you a lot. There is a FB game that I play and it gives suggestions on who to invite to play. The friends' pictures change every time it makes the suggestion. Your picture is on there every single time. And every time, i remember something that we laughed about and it makes me smile through the tears.

Love you, honey.

I am at a loss for words right now because I am missing you so. I really feel like I should have made more time for us and I will always remember the last lunch we had together.

Sami,
Today is Father's Day and your daddy's heart is missing his baby girl soo much. Their is a big void there and only God can heart that kind of void, hurt, and pain.
As we have stated in previous postings ,the only comfort we find is the one where the word of the Lord states in "his word that he will not put any more of on us than we are able to bear".

Sami, your daddy has been the greatest father on this side of heaven .
Sam plz know that your family thinks about you daily,we miss your presence soo much remember how daddy use to give you zerberts on your cheeks to get you to laugh, my mind went back to when you were a little girl , you would love for daddy to read your bedtime stories, Daddy would always make the bedtime stories full of laughter, he could change his voice to sound like the characters he was talking about, you would tell daddy. " read another story daddy and he would do it"..
Thank God for giving you a awesome daddy,,
Love you Sammi Pooh
Mommi,

Happy 30th birthday to my baby cousin!!! Although you aren't here to celebrate with us I know you are having a time... Today has been somewhat bittersweet for me as well knowing that we honor you all over in some form or fashion, I truly believe this was meant to be. This morning I starting thinking of what my Mom said at your last major celebration "Blessed Assurance" and started singing it. Love you and miss you so much... but know that these tears I shed are not of sadness, but of joy! Remembering we had you in our lives for 29 1/2 years and your memory will live on FOREVER!!!! ? Rest on....

Yesterday was such a milestone Earthly birthday! I remember when I met you. You were 20 years old! It seems like I've known you forever. The years have been so interesting yet an incredible blessing.

Because I'm living in New Orleans now, I couldn't make it to your birthday celebration but I promise you that I was there in spirit. I cannot wait to see the pictures that are sure to show up on your page so that I can see the great time that everyone had.

Sami, my Pink Lemonade... I miss you so much, my friend. I still struggle to believe that you are gone but I give God the glory and praise that you are with him now. I do hope that the angel's and Heavenly hosts had the greatest celebration for you. You deserve it.

I pray for your family all of the time. I pray their strength and know that they love God and are rooted firmly in his word so they know along with the rest of us that you are with the Lord.

Happy Birthday, sissy. I love you and will see you again. Meanwhile, I will be baking cupcakes for your birthday this weekend. Me and the kids are calling them "SamiCakes".

It's your birthday today, but you are not here in person to enjoy it so your friends and family came together to show our love for you by placing flowers in the vase and we put pink balloons around the vase on your name plate. Samantha it's really beautiful . Wow what a blessing it was having a daughter like my special little girl.
Samantha Renee Gordon better known to us as Sami Pooh Bear, we celebrated your life that God gave 30 years ago in Terre Haute, Indiana you were such a beautiful baby girl with a head full of black curly hair 8 lbs 10 oz .. 19inches what a girl, what a woman,,,,
What a beautiful woman you turned out to be , I will always cherish that last 8 hrs conversation in my room sitting on the bed talking about life ,your upcoming graduation ,your cruise ,and the plans you had for your life. , Who would have thought that you would leave me the very next week to your new home in glory, I can't be mad or even upset , there is nobody to get upset with,cuz God has spoken and as the song says “Let the church say AMEN” !,

Baby Mommi gonna sign off now cuz I can write all night. I truly praise God for your life and now your home going .
We will never forget you and Mommi will continue to celebrate your life.
With all my love,
Mommi

Today we celebrated your life with the family & your friends with the release of 30 balloons white & pink, we sang songs talked about the funny things you have said and the things you have done that made such and impression upon all those who loved you, we even had pink & white hello kitty cupcakes.
Sami you were such a blessing to all those who knew you we will never forget you . I am so glad that you made it to that home with our Lord and savior Jesus Christ.

Mommi misses you so much , it's so hard but I am thankful that I know where you are that gives me peace . But the flesh longs for the hug that only you can give that last so long I have to say ok Sami that's enough. How I long for one of those hugs…
Who's gonna go to whole foods and sample he different cheeses, then go to the meat counter and ask for a special cut of beef or fish

Oh wow baby , I miss you soo much baby I just don't know what to do . I am very thankful that we don't have any regrets between us.
My minds goes back to the last day in the hospital when you told me I quote” Mommi I love you so much for staying here in the hospital with me even though your body is in pain. I love you so much you are the best Mommi”. I will never forget that .
Until we meet again..
Mommi

My dearest baby girl Sammi Pooh, Mommi misses you so much words can not express the deep pain I feel. The hole that is left in our hearts,and in our home,church,just in the lives of all those who love you. We are all grieving so for you. Sweetie you touched so many people with the love that God put in your spirit. Sammi you transfered that love to all those who had a opportunity to know you . Mother's Day was so hard, I asked God to give me strength and he did, just that. I tried my best to do what I promised you I would do, and that was to go out for dinner on Mother's Day.
It was just as I thought and the main reason why I never like to go out it was jammed packed. It had a hour and a half waiting time. This was every place we when that was around the The Cheesecake Factory.
We miss you so much, But one thing that I am so happy about is that you made it Glory, where you can rest in his arms. Love you forever,
Mommi

Oh Lord we trust you is my prayer. Even though we may not understand your ways we will trust you. Our hearts are broken but we have a blessed assurance that we will see Sammy again. We're going to cry and feel that pain in the pit of our stomach for a long time because we miss and love her so very much. But God knows every ache and every sorrow we are experiencing since our baby went home. But his grace is so sufficient and his peace, joy, love and mercy is so sweet that we can rejoice even in this because we know that the dead in Christ shall rise first and we which are alive and remain shall be caught up to meet the Lord in the air. So rest on little sister for when the trumpet sounds you will get up and all your loved ones you left here behind will meet you in the sky where we will forever be with the Lord. We Love You!

I have sat and listened asmy pastor spoke of a woman that lost four or five children at one due to a fire. He spoke of seeing her in the homegoing service still praisig God. Then I saw Pastor Gordon and First Lady Gordon send off their baby girl with a praise, shout and a dance. How great thou art, Oh Lord, to instill that belief in you through your word, that parents can rejoice, knowing that their daughter who was in fact, SAVED SANCTIFIED and HOLY GHOST FILLED,(I do not make that claim of many) now participates in the grandest devotional service, singing Holy, Holy, Holy!
