Dear Family & Friends of Sam,
I also graduaed from Xavier with Sam. We followed in similar footsteps as I am also an architect and I moved to Michigan just after she completed her MArch at UofM. She had such grace and I will always remember her positive and warm hearted approach to everything. I will certainly support her memory directly through her scholarship and hopefully indirectly with my career as an architect and mother. I am so sorry and saddened by her passing. My sincere condolences.

I never met Sam, but I knew her through so many of her friends who always used such warm and kind words to describe her. Please know that her life had a far reaching impact on both those who knew her and those who never got the chance. Our thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathies, Shannon (FitzSimons) Bailey

I went to High School next door to Sam. News of her passing shocked and saddened me beyond any other. No star so bright and accomplished should be extinguished at such an age. My deep deep sympathies go out to Slade and her daughters and also to her parents and sister. All through the day today I would remember funny little incidents involving Sam long buried in the back of my mind and I would laugh out loud. All of these incidents took place when Sam, Sarah and Pete Gavette and I were together. I probably would have only seen her at the reunions but I know how much a mother, wife, and professional matters to those who love her and I know she will be heart breakingly missed. Again my, deepest sympathies to her family and loved ones.

Dear Slade, Zoe, & Liv, may God bless you and keep you strong throughout this ordeal. Samantha was simply amazing. She loved you all and her entire family more than can ever be put into words. We are all better people for knowing her and will treasure her memory always. With greatest sympathy, the FitzSimons Family (Michelle, Thos, Maggie, & Lizzie)

Dear Slade, Zoe, Olivia, Rizzo and Carlton families and friends,
Please accept my heartfelt condolences. I know Samantha through PVUMC Preschool and just think the world of her. In addition to seeing and talking to her at school, we always seemed to bump into each other whether it be at the park, the art museum, gymnastics , etc. The last time I saw her outside of school was just a few weeks ago at the park. She was so kind to push my daughter on the swing until I could catch up to her. That's just the kind of person she was. I always enjoyed talking to her. She was always so kind, thoughtful, had a wonderful smile and was beautiful inside and out. You all will always be in my thoughts and prayers.

Childhood neighboor and friend of Samantha here. I haven't seen her for years, but remember growing up at the same bus stop, playing by the lake after school and fun sleepovers. I lost my brother, Scott, in March of 06 and understand your hurt and lost. My thoughts and prayers will be with you all in this very trying time. Take care of each other.

Dick,Kathy, Julie and family. I am so sorry for the loss of Samantha. She was such a beautiful person. No matter what age, the loss of a loved one in the family is very hard to accept. You will grieve in your own way and as long as it takes. I hope your family, Samantha's husband and little girls will be nurtured by all as time passes. A person once told me that God doesn't give us anymore than we can handle and I believe that.
You have my deepest sympathy,
Sincerely, Donna Callea
