Samantha, you are a glowing ember that brings warmth to all those around you. You strive to help others and bring out the best in them, putting them before yourself. You care deeply, more deeply than anyone I know. Your laugh is infectious, your gifts always thoughtful and generous, and your passion and authenticity refreshing. You brighten up the room, the day, and our lives, all the while leading us to better times and to be better people. Your natural charisma attracts people to you, and your loving personality enchants them. You listen and are thoughtful; you support and advise. Your love for Jordan is how we met, but my love for you is why I write.
I rejoice in your life, knowing this deep painful sorrow I feel represents the love I have for you. For every tear, there are a thousand smiles, for every sob, a thousand laughs, for every sigh, a thousand moments of happiness.
Samantha, you are my friend; you are my family; you light our way as we grieve your loss.
