Pam you did a wonderful job, but God has bigger plan's for Samantha. He needed a very loving and careing angel so he picked her. If you ever need to talk I'm here also no matter what time. She will always watch over you with that beautiful smile she has.

We will miss Samantha so much here at North. She was such a sweetie!! I remember when Sarah first came here almost three years ago; Sam was her guardian angel! Sarah had a hard time adjusting at first, and Sam was always available to help her out. She was so good with Sarah--they had a very special relationship.
Whenever I saw Sam she was smiling, and we always chatted for a few minutes. I looked forward to seeing her in the lunchroom whenever I went in, and when I did see her she was always working hard!
I pray for her family; find strength in the grace of God and the knowledge of His love--Samantha will be a wonderful angel and will be with us all.

I am so deeply sorry to hear of the untimely death of your beautiful Samantha. I know that NO words could make things better right now. A death of a young person seems so unfair especially to those who were closest to her throughout her life.
Jens, Although I have never met Samantha and seeing her obituaruy was the first time I put a face with the name, I know she had to have known the deep love you feel for her. I know this by the way you would talk about her with such deep respect and pride. She has a light in her eyes that is rare in the times we live in. When a person has that light on this earth it doesn't dim or extinguise at death, they become a light in heaven even brighter than you can imagine. REMEMBER THIS: You will meet with her when the day comes that God chooses to call on your name. All good men are called by the Lord...
Take Care.... Lori
