Life is not the same without you Sam.

The first time I met Sam (and the rest of your family) was when you came in for the funeral of Grandma Tippy Toes (Stilinovich). You were staying at the Holiday Inn. Jude and I came to visit and Sam and John wanted to go swimming. We took a bunch of pictures in winter clothes, then the kids went in the pool while the adults sat around the pool doing grownup things (drinking, smoking, talking). It was a small moment of happiness in an otherwise sad occasion.

Your passing leaves a giant hole in our hearts. You should still be here raising your children. You should still be here to be my friend, and my pain in the ass. You should still be here to be your parents daughter and your brother's sister. You should still be here reaching your goals, being successful and happy. You should still be here creating memories, good and bad. You should still be here to hug and to kiss and to touch and to yell at! You should still be here so we could tell you we love you. Our lives are not the same without you, in fact, mom, dad, John, Scott, the girls and the boy are forever changed and sometimes feel lost without you. Let your energy stay here so we can feel your presence, feeling that much closer to you. Keep vigilant watch over us Sam and may your energy be felt by us all. You certainly were a unique girl, with a unique laugh and unique ideas. Spunky and fierce, passionate and strong are a few words to describe you. I miss you. As always, I'll still be your Aunt Kat.

Sweet Samantha

You are my sister, always and forever Sam. You and I had a bond that could never be broken. It breaks my heart that your gone, but I know your with us in spirit, watching over us all. Your were an amazing person and loved by so many people. I will miss you always girl, but I will see you soon Sam.
Love Amanda - AKA Your Partner in Crime.

I miss you everyday my love girl. I'll always be your Aunt Kat. I'll never forget how much you loved me and the boys. I'll always treasure the friendship we had. All of us miss you so much. Robbie needs you to watch over him and keep him strong. Im so proud of you and how you came back from hell and started a new life with Scott and the kids. Your strength was amazing and I know I won't meet anyone else as strong as you were. Most of all I want you to know that you were my special girl and I would have done anything to help you. I hope you know how much you mean to me. Please don't worry about your mom but instead know that she too loved you unconditionally and will never get past your passing.  I will be here for her and try my best to ease her pain and grief. Visit us often so we know you are there. We will see you in heaven someday and we can be together and laugh and I'll make the shrimp you love. You can make the soup and we can fatten up mom. Thinking of your smile and mischievous laugh and wish I could hear it one last time. Or a million more times. You were an amazing mom and your children will grow up to be exceptional people. God keep you Sam! We love you! We miss you! Aunt Kat!

It's not good bye its ill see you later
