Rod, Jackie, and Dana, I'm so sorry for your loss and your pain. I remember Samantha when she was in middle school and she would always visit Dana. I could tell how much she loved her sister. Samantha was always so sweet. My brother lost his daughter a little over a year ago, she was 8. It was the worst thing ever. He has his good days and he has his bad days. We miss her every day as you will miss Samantha every day. Just keep your family and friends close to you. If there is anything I can do for you please let me know. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

I am sorry for your loss! I know the pain someone feels when losing a child, I have been where you are right now; so please know that if you need someone to talk to, I am here for ya (I am staying at Teri's house). The loss of a child is probably the most difficult thing a parent has to endure, but as time passes learning to cope becomes easier even though the pain never fully goes away (it's hard to explain). Enjoy the legacy she left behind, her children. I pray they give you the strength you need to carry on during a time like this. Samantha was a sweet young lady. She will be truly missed.##imported-begin##Christina Chase##imported-end##
R.I.P Samantha. My thoughts and prayers go out to her children as well as her family.##imported-begin##Ashley Dorman##imported-end##
Jackie, Rod and Dana, I am so sorry to hear about Samantha. She has always been a very loving and caring sister to Dana. When they were both in elementary school, Samantha always came into the cafeteria to visit with our class and give Dana a hug and kiss. Samantha grew into a very sweet young lady, full of compassion, love and understanding and she had such a contagious smile. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you, that you may find the strength to get through this tragic time. Hug and cherish her legacy...your beautiful grandchildren.##imported-begin##Judy Vitto##imported-end##
Rod and Jackie,
I don't know the amount of pain that parents feel after the loss of a child. I just wanted you to know that our family will miss Samantha a great deal. She was always a warm ray of sunshine and I really enjoyed having her in my home.
She was a treasure and a great friend to my Trina. I will always be thankful to have had Samantha as a friend to my Trina. Samantha had a warm giving heart and helped Trina through one of the toughest times in her life. When Trina loss her father I remember that it was Samantha that came and held her hand and tried to help Trina by reminding her of all the fun scares that my husband loved to play on the kids.
So now I tell you both to remember the good memories of Samantha and hopefully those memories that make you smile will ease the pain that you are going through now.
I will always remember Samantha singing in the chior or when she went with us to Karaoke. Looking back at those times we all had a great time. And she always seemed to be smiling and enjoying life.
If you need anything please remember that my family and I are here for you, whatever you made need. Please call on us.
You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
Love ya, Teri Keller (Trina's mom)##imported-begin##Teresita (Teri) Keller##imported-end##

We'd like to thank everyone who has helped during this terrible tragedy. The outpouring of love and support has been above and beyond. To all the family and friends Thank you and keep us in your thoughts and prayers. The loss of a child is a heartache no parent should ever have to bear. The last few days have seemed like a dream, no a nightmare. I keep hoping to wake up and Sam will be sitting on the couch playing with her children. I miss her so bad. We loved her so much. It kills me to think her chidren will never know how special she really was. Noah, Josselyn and Dylan will only know her thru pictures and stories. Sam we love you, we'll hug and kiss the kids everyday for you. I want the pain to stop, I've never cried as mush as I have the last few days. We love you Sam, we miss you, someday we'll see each other again. We'll never forget you, we'll always love you. Mom and Dad##imported-begin##Rod Gonzalez##imported-end##

Thinking of you at this time. Sam was a good sister to Dana. Remember the good times with her. And hug the grandchildren often.
