Samantha loved her dogs Bella and Ziggy and cats Patches and Fluffer. Samantha's goal was to be fiercely independent, go to college, and to help those less fortunate.
Samantha was a loving, affectionate daughter and sister; a trusted and loyal friend, hard-working, compassionate, an insightful wise young woman who did not get to fulfill her goals.
