We were saddened to hear of Sami's passing. She was a good friend, always cheerful and fun to be around, always the first jump in and help. There are too many stories to list. She leaves a void in our lives and everyone that knew her.

To all of Sami's family, We are so deeply saddened by the news Sami had passed away. Such a bright strong force of unbridled energy ol Sami was no matter where she was, what fun it was to have a table near here at all the superbowl parties at the bar , all the wild game cook off's, the pool parties at my parents pretty much everywhere was fun with Sami. We sat and talked about alot these memories and I could type story after story and having you laughing to tears as Sami had me and everyone on many occasion.
Heaven gained another Angel and I know many were there with open arms to see her!!! With our deepest sympathy we wish you the best and you will remain in our prayers sending you strength & love. Love, Cari & Sis Prokopis
