Thoughts and prayers for the family. Sam was the sweetest person. I have missed working with her. She will be greatly missed by everyone who knew her.
Anna McGrath - Coworker
Getting to know Sam over the last year has been a blessing to me. Her heart was that of a Saint’s. She loved deeply for others and her compassion for animals ran deep. Over the last several months we prayed together often. The way she lived exemplified the way a person should strive to live.
John 11 25-26
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die.
Her love for God was unwavering in the time that I knew Sam. Heaven gained an amazing angel when Sam went to her final home. May peace find the family in knowing that Sam is with our Lord in Heaven. What a glories day it will be when we all meet again. Until that day I will continue to remember you for your loving heart and friendship that we shared.

Sandy was the kindest and sweetest lady and neighbor. She always had a smile and a gentle voice when she spoke.
