    Samantha,
    We love you so much!! You were an amazing friend. Always supportive and had no fear of telling me when I was doing wrong. You kept me in-line while I was a young adult and I will always be grateful for the times you talked me out of some really stupid stuff. I also knew that you were always one call, Snapchat or message away. I’m going to miss you ? the girls loved you too! You were Sammie to Alice and you watched her grow. You were more of an aunt to my children and more of a sister to me than just a friend. I don’t know how I’m going to be ok without you. You were my best friend, my sweet, funny, loving, reliable and loyal friend. We’re going to miss you. ??

Rest easy my dear friend and enjoy spending forever with Jesus, Sadie and all your family that’s gone on before you. You will be tremendously missed by all your friends and family.
