I was lucky enough to be one of Samantha's teachers at Miami Trace High School and I am so sad to hear of her courageous fight with cancer and her passing. Samantha was a good student who always tried her hardest on each assignment. She was sweet, friendly, and spoke of her family often. I know she will be greatly missed. Sending love and prayers to her family at this difficult time.
