Samantha was a beautiful girl. She had moved down from Oregon to help her mom. She used to come to some of our art meetings and everyone loved Samantha. She was so kind, sweet, stable and generous. She was a giver and had a bright future ahead of her. She was very smart and eager to succeed. This tragic loss will never be forgotten.
My heart goes out to her family and friends.
