I am so very sad and disheartened to hear of Samantha's passing. I did not know her personally, but helped to care for her as her nurse once. She was a very kind woman. One whose soul shined bright. My condolences to all family and friends...May God hold you close and comfort you.

We would like to extend our sincere condolences to Ms. Samantha's family and friends.  I did not know Samantha personally but I often ran into her in the hallway when dropping my son off at school. I truly appreciated her beautiful smile and her Friendliness. My heart breaks at the loss of one so young, giving and generous. As my son moves up to the 3's class this month, I am saddened that he will not get to know Ms. Samantha and experience her love and kindness. There is a classroom of little angels up in heaven right now that has just been blessed with a wonderful teacher.  Our prayers will be with Ms. Samantha's family and friends during this very difficult time.

My heart goes out to the family. A loss so great and at such a young age. I'm so sorry for your loss.

This breaks my heart. Samantha was in my fifth grade at Fairlawn Elementary School. I never saw her after those days, but from what I have read in this guestbook I am sure she maintained the kindness, generosity, and happiness she demonstrated as I child. I am so sorry for the loss to her family and friends.

Samantha you will be dearly missed.  Isaac adored you as a teacher and would tell us everyday that he loved Miss Samantha.  He was so excited to get to school to be with you.  Thank you for being so loving.  You were definitely taken too soon.  Daycare will not be the same without you.

Scott and Shannon ,  so very sorry for the loss of you cousin . Prayers for you , her family and friends .  Sincerely , Judy and Frank

Our family has been so blessed by Miss Samantha teaching two of our kids. She was always very caring and loving and comforted our kids when we were not there. She is a huge loss to our daycare family but a blessing she was during her 8 years of serving our families. Our hearts are hurting during this loss.

So blessed to have known you. You were somebody everybody liked. The daycare is not going to be the same without you. Already missing you.

Our family has suffered far too many losses and known far too much heartache. The loss of Samantha is too cruel. Sami, that day long ago after you and Lauren and I saw The Lion King, when you stomped your feet at the store and cried because you couldn't understand why I would not buy you all 13 stuffed lions, please know if I had the chance to do it all over again, I would gladly buy them all. Because you were right. They needed you. As did I. Aunt Vickie loves you Sam. ?

My beautiful baby cousin. You'll be so missed. This is still a dream to me. Still just an ugly nightmare.  But in reality you stand by my daddy's side and you make sure I'm doing right in life. I need you still. I'm so sorry Sam. This was too soon. Just like everyone else, too soon. Your gorgeous smile will carry me far in life.  I love you Samantha Lee.

My thoughts and prayers are with Samantha's family.. She was a wonderful teacher to both our boys.. she will be missed. R.I.P

She has touched the lives of so many children. God is lucky to have such an amazing person come back to him. While we on earth see it as too soon, He called and she is at peace. Always missed and never forgotten. Thank you for being the amazing person you were.

Samantha was my best friend as children even though we lived far from each other and only saw each other once a year at our family reunion, I will miss her dearly. She was so out going and loving. I love you Sam and you will be dearly missed.

Her beautiful smile and love will be deeply missed.  My kids are blessed to have known her and felt her love.  Deepest condolences to all her friends and family.

Tom and Jennifer,

Please accept our deepest sympathy and prayers.  We did not know Samantha, but wanted you to know you are in our thoughts.  May she rest in peace.  God's blessings to you and all your family.

Jim and Janice Hummel

Samantha you were loved very much and you will be missed! Nicky my heart is with you...I'm so sorry!

I got to know Samantha when I volunteered for the Habitat build that included her home. She was a sweet, warm and wonderful young lady. It was a pleasure working with her those 8 months. I recall the day of the dedication as to how happy she was to get a new home that she worked so hard for. Prayers of peace and comfort for her family and friends. May God accept Samantha with open as.

Nick and I will never forget your beautiful smile and great personality. Watching you grow from that Green Husky teen to a beautiful young women was a joy. We will never forget you. God has blessed us for knowing you. WE LOVE YOU AND WILL MISS YOU!!!!!

My thoughts are with Sam's family.  So tragic when a child with so much going for them is taken.  I will never forget her helping my grandson when he needed somebody to stand up for him.  She most definitely is in Heaven.  I won't be in town to attend services, but will be thinking about her.... God Bless and R.I.P.

Fly high samantha u will be miss by so many ppl.

In honor of you, Samantha.  You will be greatly missed!

Rick, Vickie, Tom, and Josh please know that your loss is felt by many including myself.  Samantha is a beautiful woman both inside and outside.  My daughters, son, granddaughters, and deceased wife all think of Samantha as family and I promise that everytime I burn a candle at home Samantha's sweetness will be alongside others on my mind.  Love and comfort to all

I am thankful for every single memory we had together, good or bad! I am so happy and thankful for the time that I had with you as well as the time my daughter had with you, you were like a second mom to her. I love you!!
