You have my deepest condolences. Sammy was the best friend anyone could ever have. I’ll miss our talks, her words of encouragement, and her smile. My only regret is not seeing her as much as I should have. May she watch over her family and friends. Let her spirit live on by being as fierce, kind and free as she was.
