Samantha, I had you as a Spanish 1 student the year we both came to GHS. I know you had some challenges that year but in my class you were one of those students that made me love teaching because you loved learning. I pray that you have the answers now that you were looking for. You and your family are in my prayers.

Sam,
From the moment we met at Waterford I knew you were a special kind of person and friend. You were always so radiant, so happy, so funny, always bringing a smile to my face. We practically grew up together for awhile there. You taught me so much and made me strive to be better and love life. I’m gonna miss you so much and I love you. I hope your happy and at peace now with Casey and Larry ❤️ Rest In Peace sweet angel and my heart goes out to your family

Sammie,
You’ve grown into a beautiful young woman and I’m glad I got to see some of it. I will always question why God took you, but I will always think of the memories of you and Ashley, and all the laughs and hugs we shared.
