This is so crazy, I can’t believe that I am writing you a note in here. My mom (Susan Dutton) and your mom was best friends almost since we were born. We played together with Amanda all the time. I haven’t seen you in forever but I miss you then and I miss you now. You looked so peaceful and beautiful. That was one of the hardest things I had to do. You was my childhood friend and you will always be in my heart. I miss you and your mom, she was the best friend my mom could ever ask for. You already know my mom loved you like you was one of her own. Now you are in a better place and with your mom which is where I know you wanted to be, by your mother’s side. I love you little gurl and I will see ya one day!!

Tim, Wally & Family
I was very sorry to hear about the loss of your loved one. I have learned that Samantha just lived right down the street from me & directly across the street from my nephew. I didn't know Samantha personally but understand that she was quite a young lady. Your family has certainly had your share of tragedy & I know what that is like with losing many close loved ones. Tim, I remember when you & Missy went through the loss of Jeremy, he was such a beautiful young boy & couldn't have had more deserving parents. I will keep your entire family in my thoughts & prayers & continue to ask God to help give you all strength.

HEAVEN JUST BECOME EVEN MORE BEAUTIFUL

Samantha,
Thank you so much for being a part of Vance's life and ours too. You really brought out the best in Vance and only wanted the best for him. Thanks for always calling me to let me know what was going on. My brother adored you, Shaelyn adored you. We all did. I checked the messages at home Sunday and you were on there from Thursday wishing us a Happy Thanksgiving. I can't believe I won't hear your voice again. Hug Josh and Zach for me. Please watch over Vance and guide him as good as you did when you were here. Deepest sympathy to your family. My heart hurts with you.

Samantha,
I can still remember the very first time I met you. Amanda's little sister. And, little you were. A little girl, but still could speak here mind. I remember somebody was talking bad about my Daughter Lauren at school, and you over heard them. You spoke your mind to them real quick, and you came straight home and called to let us know that you took care of them boys! You were very friendly. No matter where you would see me, you always had something to say. And I always loved your hair. It always looked so good! You will be missed so much. My prayers are with all of your Family.
Miss you Alot, Bobbie Thornton

To my family ,
I know that we arent really "related" . But i still consider each and everyone of the Adams family as MY FAMILY . When i heard the news of Samantha it tore me down. I wasnt really close to her , nor did i talk to her that much. But the memories of her started to hit me. When i was little she use to baby sit me . I remember it like it was yesterday. Those days were so fun and they will never be forgotton. I remember when i was little i use to get so jealous because she was so much prettier than me , and to this day she still is . Well i love and miss you Samantha Adams. You will always be in my heart no matter what.
Love CHAILA DIZNEY

Samantha.
Wow. Still a shock. This girl was amazing. Life was taken too quickly. She always seemed to be goofy or just having a good time. She was always so lively. Samantha was something special and that's for sure. She had so much going for her. She was only a sister-in-law, but man it seemed more like just a sister. Blood or not, she was always there for anyone. She had already been through so much, and she wasn't alone. I just wish you could be here Sam. Everyone misses you. When I was being bad mouthed by someone you knew, you were always on the case. That's something I'm really going to miss. I love you Sam!

To All Who Loved Samantha...
Everytime I saw Sam she had a smile on her face, it breaks my heart to think that I wont get to see her quirky little self running around anymore. Everyone I know that knew Sam loved her. I lost my angel Storm exactly two years before Sam, NOVEMBER 29, 2006. I know how hard it is to lose a child, the grief you feel, how your heart feels ripped from your chest. I want all of you to know that I am here for you all. If you need a shoulder to cry on, someone to talk to, to yell at, I am here. We all know that Sam is with her Momma and loving it very much. They say God will not give us more than we can handle, but I know thats hard to understand. Sam is a beautiful angel now.

Kerry, Toni, and Amanda... I am so sorry for your loss. Samantha was the most beautiful young girl I've ever seen. She had a smile that would light up a room, and a heart twice her size. She saw more pain and loss in her short life than anyone should have to see in a lifetime, yet she went on. I hope when she sees my Dad she tells him how much I still love and miss him, he loved little Sammy.My heart and prayers go out to you.

Alex Dixon

December 1, 2008

Sam,
I will miss your smile and your laugh.
I always looked up to you and hope to be as beautiful as you on the inside and the outside.
I didn't get to see you a lot but you always made me feel special.
You mean alot to me and I love you.
I will treasure our moments forever.
I love you, hugs and kisses

Samantha was a beautiful young woman with an unforgetable smile ... I remember when she got the news about her mom at hair school she was so upset but stood strong and knew everything would be ok ... I know it's going to be hard for alot of people to accept that she was taken from this world sooo early but that only means that God has bigger plans for little Samantha ... She is watching down on all of us smiling , rejoycing with her loved ones in heaven ... Ashley Bensing

To the Adams family, I am so sorry for your loss, Samantha was a beautiful young girl and she was very lucky to have such a wonderful family. She is in a much better place where she will have peace. Kerry i am sorry, I know how hard this is on you, there is nothing more painful than the loss of a child. When Tim and I lost Jeremy a part of me died to, but keep in mind that she will always be safe and will never feel anything but happiness. In my heart she will always be my niece and I love her and all of you. May god bless you all and my prayers are with you. I love u (poo,poo Sam). Give Jeremy a hug from his mommy. Love and miss you Aunt Missy.

I am so sad to hear of your passing Sam, it truely breaks my heart for your family. You are a wonderful, funny bright star in so many peoples lives everyday and you will be missed by everyone you have touched. My prayers and deepest sympathy to your family...I know what it is like to lose a child and I have no words to ease their pain but I do offer your family my ear to listen and my shoulder to cry on. I have so many memories of Samantha and my daughter Karissa...they were strong, smart and very funny girls that could light up a room with their beauty and smile and they had the world at their finger tips. It is so hard to try to make sense of this tragedy and my only comfort to the tragedy of losing a child is that God needed another angel and he only picks the best. You will be missed by all that love you so very much....Tina Smith....Karissa's mom

To the family of Samantha Adams: I really didn't know Samantha very well. I drove her along with 4 other 8th graders to Outback Steakhouse and then to the 8th grade dance. In that short time, I realized that she may be small in size but not attitude. She was very funny and had everyone in the car laughing. My son graduated with Samantha this year. He was in from college and was very saddened to hear of Samantha's passing. God Bless the family. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

To the Adams family...I live in our small community...my daughter knew Samantha...I cant begin to fathom what you are feeling. I dont/cant even pretend to know what the loss of a child is like. My only prayer is that you know your baby is in heaven, happy and huggin her Mama. Only knowing that all the pain is gone and she is in heaven with her Mama and God can possibly give you any peace. I pray you recieve that peace. All of my prayers are with you. God bless you.

She totally surprised me, thinking at first that she was so delicate and quiet I was quick to learn that she was incredibly strong and amazingly kind all at the same time. She could make me laugh so hard my stomach would hurt and if I was crying she would always be right there ready to listen. Sam had a really great big heart and it was always open to everyone. Never judgemental or unkind, she made this world, and now the next world, a much better and beautiful place. Sam you will be terribly missed.
