I'm completely devastated to learn of The Sampson's passing. I met Mrs. Sampson and her husband years ago and she was a beautiful lady! She also made the best pineapple rugelach! May they rest in peace in the arms of our heavenly father and may the Lord bless and watch over their family and friends.

I am so sorry to read that you have lost not one but two good God fearing family members. My 37 y/o son was murdered 0n 2-2-04, so I truly do know what you are going through. My advice to you is make sure that God is guiding your every step, and let Him lead you to your healing.
God bless and keep you in His Grace

To Linda's Family,
I know that the last couple of days have been tough. However, never let the devil take over your love for Christ. I have learned that some things happen so that we can continue to give God the glory. And when we give Him the glory, He will make our enemies our footstool.
It was a pleasure meeting and serving your family. I just hate that it took this type of tragedy for us to meet. If there is anything I can do to help console your hearts, please do not hestitate to contact me. I hope that the Book of Memories will help carry your through. Keep the faith that the Lord will bring sunshine to dry up the rain. Much Love,
Jackie Burgess

I just watched the news and heard of this horrible tragedy. My heart is broken and aches for the Sampson's families.
About 12 years ago, I met Linda and Aaron during my time with Columbia/HCA. We were buying her wonderful gift baskets and our doctors loved them.
Various times I visited with Linda and Aaron, and they were always so nice, so kind, and so encouraging.
I am just sick over this incredible community loss. However, our loss is heaven's gain. Linda and Aaron were always shining the light of Christ and I know that they are in a much better place, but I do wish they were still with us on earth.
Linda and Aaron, I will look forward to seeing you both in heaven one day. Please watch over all of us and protect us.

None but the righteous shall see God. I have learned so much from reading Ms. Sampson's friends comments. I know your TX family, Mary & Bob Roberson and learned of your sweetness through your Sister Mary. I was Blessed to be able to have Mrs. Sampson's cookies and could taste the love in every bit. May the peace of God be with both families.

Thank God for Jesus and His promise of eternal life. The Sampsons left this world and immediately heard "Well done My good and faithful servants." They are rejoicing right now with the angels around the throne. Let us dedicate our lives to serving the youth of our communities, blocking the satanic influence that leads them astray.

Oh my GOD was all I could say as my heart cried in agony. I met Linda through Aaron whom I had the pleasure of working with at Pratt & Whitney. She always had a smile on her face whenever she greeted you and was a joy to be around. May GOD continue to hold his family and loved ones in the palm of HIS hand. Sincere BLESSINGS

I didn't know Linda very well, but I remember how confident she was and how fun she was to be around when we participated in the fashion show at Saint Francis Church. She strutted down that aisle and did her thing! Her husband watched from the audience with a smile on his face. You will always be remembered. May you and your husband rest in peace and may your family find peace that only the Lord can provide. My prayers are with you.

To the family of Linda and Aaron Sampson, you have my sincere and deepest sympathy. I am blessed to have met a sister in Christ. "Miss" Linda was and is genuinely true and had a smile that would make a rainbow jealous. I will never forget her galiant and truthful spirit. I will always appreciate her kind generousity and the girl inside her she loved. She expressed many times during my days of soul searching while working together
"Mary Lee Jesus is at your footsteps". I believe she is in paradise for God declares in Psalm 103:19 "The Lord has established His throne in the heavens and His soveriegnty rules over all"
May her light and radiance shine down upon us - Miss Linda an angel on earth and an angel in heaven.

My heart breaks to think of the tragic loss of beautiful Linda Sampson and her husband. I met with her every Christmas to pick up her delicious cookies which my family and friends waited for each year. She would welcome me to her home with a big hug and a beautiful smile. She was so special and I will remember her always with love. My condolences to all the Sampson family for this tragic and senseless loss.

Mellonese,
There are no words to express or ease the pain you are enduring. My heart goes out to you and prayers are going up that you find comfort and peace during this time and the days ahead.
Look to the sky as you now have two Angels protecting your steps and guiding you through the days.
Stay prayerful and uplifted in HIM for HE is the Alpha and Omega.
My deepest condolences...

What a smile, what a laugh, what a spirit! Linda and Aaron will truly be welcomed into heaven as we on earth are left without two "angels" we have had the priviledge of knowing. May your family and friends find comfort during this trying time and may their memories be eternal.

My mind cries out in horror and sadness, "how can such a good person die prematurely like this? Is the old saying true, that only the good die young? When it comes to Linda, I have to believe it is true, and that our creator is now using her in great ways. I did not know Linda's husband, but I worked with Linda in Histology at Good Samaritan Hospital. I liked working with Linda, for as so many people have already pointed out, she could make your day sunny and bright with her positive attitude and pleasant personality. She was as cute as she could be, and her gift baskets were delightful. During Lab Week at the hospital, our supervisors ordered her baskets for us to indulge in. Many of us also used her to create gift baskets for our own special family occasions.
One of my favorite memories of Linda is her revised, jazzy, creative version of the well-known birthday song. She would sing it to you on your birthday in her sweet, sultry voice, delighting you and making you feel very special. It was so much fun. I asked her to sing it for a co-worker's birthday one day, which she did to everyone's delight. I recall us all cheering and clapping enthusiastically when she finished the song.
Linda was an inspiration to me, for we shared the gift of creativity and I admired her for her basket business she started on her own. Her gift baskets were pretty and the cookies healthy for Linda did not like to use a lot of sugar in her pastries, but preferred to make her own healthier version of the traditional sweets. My heart weeps for this beautiful lady, but I know one day we will see her again shining with glory and loveliness.

Linda was my inperational friend for 24 years. Each and every time that she will sense sadness in my heart, she will bring hope and wisdom to my life. Always encoraging me to go forward because there was something better ahead for me. She brought light into my sad and darkest days of struggle. She was a true angel and God needs her in heaven. She said to me "when things are not going right, it is a way of God telling you to move on because your job there is done" Linda, you job and God purpose in this earth is done, now you most go on to heaven and sit by His side. We will miss you, but I know we will meet again to laugh and share the best memories that she share in the past 24 years of our lifes. I will miss your pistachio cake, you used to bake for me on my sad and lonely days, now you will smile from heaven and rest, you journey is complete in phase of the earth. I will miss you :(, You will live in my heart and my memorie for the rest of my days. May God keep you in His presence and Aaron too. I will always love you both.

you will be truly missed. You and Aaron meant so much to us, the times we shared together, baking cookies, wraping the baskets and watching your customers eyes once they enjoyed the taste of your cookes. The friendship that you and I had and the memories that I will always remember, but I know that God has gained two beautiful people. God is with you and Aaron, may you both rest in peace, together and forever.
Love Always
