You were there with my mommy when she was having me. You were the first one to hold me after mommy and daddy. You bought mommy a rocker so she could rock me to sleep on those nights when I didn't want to sleep in the crib or didn't feel good. At Easter time you always held me in church and then hid Easter eggs at Granny's house for me to find them. I went to your house to go trick or treating and you showed me how to carve a pumpkin. On my birthday you would sing to me and make me feel special. Each Christmas you gave me presents and told me you loved me. You always had bubbles hid in your closet for me to play with when I went to see you and uncle bubba. You went with me to the zoo to see all of the animals. We always had fun together. You would ride me real slow on the 4 wheeler and melted marsh mellows on the fire for me to eat. You were the best Aunt Sammy!!!! I love you. I know you love me too because you told me a lot. Mommy says you are in the sky in Heaven with Jesus and when I see a star twinkling it is you winking at me. I'm winking right back at you Aunt Sammy. I love you!! I'm your Sean Patrick Hoagland.Grand mommy wrote this for me because I am not big yet.

Sam was every mother's dream for their son. She was kind, loving, beautiful and giving. She was all I ever dreamed of in a daughter-in-law. She made my son love, laugh and enjoy life each and every day. She and David had the type of relationship that takes most couples a lifetime to get if they ever do. She will always be my Sammy and I love her. Thanks Viv and Greg for sharing her with us. She was perfect. We love you.

Dear Vivian, Greg, and Kyle,
No words can express our sorrow and sympathy. You have been in our hearts and prayers. We have so many wonderful, funny memories of Sam, one being on the soccer field and giving her mom (and me) a hard time because we were talking rather than watching the soccer match. The time she dressed up in a cows costume to wish Erin a happy 18th birthday. The stories are never ending and so was Sam's smile and infectious laugh. Sam was a treasure to everyone that knew her. Job well done, Vivian and Greg. Heaven has received a very special angel and they will love her up there as much as we do and always will.

Gregg, Vivian, and Kyle, we are so sorry for your loss. Our prayers will be with you and Samantha. Our best memory of Samantha is sharing some food that Vivian dropped on the floor and she gave some to Pepper and some to Samantha without even cleaning the food off. That is Vivian.
We miss you guys a lot!!!!!

Sam, you were such a shining star, a cheerleader when others were going through rough times.. I only knew you briefly, but you made such an impression on me! May you rest in peace, and may your family and friends find comfort knowing you are still watching over them, cheering them on.
