I close my eyes and count to ten
The seconds turn to years and slowly
I've been recognizing everything
Through an adolescent mind
It's so dark here
For the first time I feel alive
But you're not here
Life, it changes
Wake me up and bring me home
Let me stay here forever
I can't see a thing
I'm lying in my bed, I can't stop thinking
It's driving me insane
Never got to say goodbye
It's still dark here
And for the first time I feel alive
But you're not here
I'll live on and carry your name
And be what you always thought I could be
I hope we meet at the end
But I'll never forgive the world for taking my best friend

Sam,
What can I say. You are my best friendenamie.  Since we were young we had a funny best friendship. Sometimes we fought like cats and dogs, sometimes we loved with our whole hearts. 
We have had so many good time together. Ranging from bake off`s, beach days, shopping and buying matching purses, slicking out hair back and teasing the boys at the swimming pool thinking were the cats meow. Our many hours plotting how to get revenge on our siblings. Many hours talking about life, and where we wanted to go. Our trip the the ocean, when you forgot your wallet at a truck stop 200km backwards into our trip. (Cant believe it was still there). And just hanging out in general listening to Eminem and Disturbed.  And lets be real, our many arguments that almost always ended in us passing notes to each other while sitting right beside each other and making up.
Out of everything though Sam, I will miss just having you as my best  friend. When you were able, you were there for me in some of the most random times in my life.  Like the days I broke up with my boyfriend and needed a bouncer at the front door to make sure he didn't rob me.  Or the day I took possession of my house and cried like a baby the whole day. 
Your presence in my life has been greatly missed for a very long time as you knew my true heart, and still loved me for me. 
You were truly one of the most beautiful people I have come across, and you tried to hard at the things you did.  I will continue to carry you in my heart, and talk to you because I know you hear me. 
The picture below is one of my favorite from our trip to the ocean. We had just had a big fight and were each taking a tantrum walk, when I fell into a giant bowl in the ground. You came looking for me and fell into the same hole and smashed our heads together.  Argument over :)
I love you like a brother, always and forever. 
xoxo Katie.  


Well my little dolly, I can’t bring myself to say goodbye. You have been a wonderful granddaughter. You have given me so much love and despite all that you were going through you still took the time and effort to look after me. I will treasure the memories you worked so hard to create.I love you dearly and you will be in my heart forever.  Grandma xoxoxo

Sammy, as we knew her to be was a big part of our lives through high school and after. I have so many memories of ‘the gang’ who hung out at our place many weekends. After highschool there were the 3 amigos who would come to get dressed up and  pre-drink before going out. I enjoyed watching them and sharing in their laughter. Sammy was fiery and sweet at the same time. Not to mention funny. She was always laughing and making faces

We would lose touch from time to time and every time she reappeared we’d hug big and she would promise not to do it again. Sadly that wasn’t to be. 

We were blessed to have known her and our thoughts and prayers are with all of the family. 

My favourite memory is you Seester. 

There are endless memories that come along with the thought of you. From good to bad, from stupid to sad.  

We were 3 years and 4 days apart so we were a lot alike her and I. We would headbang to heavy metal and horribly sing along to songs, even though we didn’t know half the words. We were sick and twisted, so we thought “shot for shot” was fun and would punch each other till are arms couldn’t move and laugh historically over it. But of course that’s not all we did. We would go on random road trips and adventures. She also was the one that understood how I felt and what I was going through, because she too went through it at all with me. She was my protector my whole life, hitting people left and right in order to defend me. Even though she was tough she had the kindest heart, helped those in need wether it be food, money, or transportation. Her beautiful smile and soul will be missed, but never forgotten. I love you Seester

One of my favourite memories of Sam was when she was a toddler. No one knows where it came from, but she had this German accent. She would say “no vay aunty or vat??” Always made me laugh. In more recent years she teased me about my “ghetto texting “ (Im not very computer savvy) But what I want the world to know is what a beautiful loving soul she had. She was compassionate, she loved her family fiercely  (famjam as she called us) , she judged no one,  she was kind and caring and she touched everyone she came in contact with. Sam was a true beauty and totally unaware of it. If you ever went anywhere with her, from 5 to 85 she turned heads. I will miss her dearly. I love you sweetheart! Aunty Mel xoxoxo

As a fellow "Babes on Bikes" and sister of the riding community I will continue to pray that you and your family will be given strength and courage.  I pray that you will have serenity and peace in knowing the love that is extended toward you all during this difficult time.

I have never met your family and I didn't know Sam. But I am a "Sister" in the biking community and whenever a rider is lost; our hearts ache. My sincere condolences for the loss of your daughter, sister, niece, granddaughter, friend, co-worker and fellow rider.  Words cannot express how our community feels when we lose one of our own. May she rest in peace ...... 

I cannot even begin to understand what you’re going through right now  Cindy, but I would like to offer my prayers and condolences to you and your family. Wishing you peace to bring comfort,  the courage to face the days ahead,  and loving memories to forever hold in your hearts

Kelly LaBrie

No words can express our heartfelt condolences to your whole family, hold on to the good times to take you through the dark days. See the light of Samantha shining down over you all.

To my dear friend Melanie and her family who are suffering a loss of their loved one..Thinking of you and wishing you strength and comfort at this difficult time...Rest in peace Sam .

To my dear friend Cindy and family, I grieve for the loss of your sweet Sam, knowing you will support and encourage each other during such a tragic and difficult time. I ache for your lost, Patricia

I remember when you were in your mommy’s tummy and how excited we all were.  I recall talking with Aunty Cin and your mom about names before your birth!  I missed a lot of your childhood  with deep regrets because I now know what a wonderful, caring, sweet human being you grew up to be.  You are so loved by your beautiful mom, and precious Aunt and family.  You faced challenges and overcame them because of your strength.  Strength you can share to help those who are grieving your loss.  RIP sweet Sammy.

All my love to Cindy, Tracey, Myrna and family.  I’m so  so sorry for this senseless loss.   Always here for you all.  Collette💐

With caring thoughts and sincerest condolences to Tracey, Brittany,Myrna, Cindy and family for the loss of Sam. There is no one in this world like your Sam. Sam unknowingly pointed me in the direction of my purpose. It wasn’t her words or deeds that pointed to a higher purpose. It is when she shared with me from her heart about her dreams, wounds of life, enormous love of her family, wonderful sense of humour and pearls of wisdom.  To carry Sam’s message of hope, kindness and belief to those less fortunate is a responsibility and honour. 



Our condolences to your family. We are sorry for your loss. 

Condolences to the Parish family.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to your whole family.  Psalms 147:3 says God, "heals the broken hearted, and binds up their wounds."  May God bring you comfort and peace.
