Samantha, what is there to say about you except that you excelled at what you loved. Everything from your work to your prowess on the Chess-Board was a reminder of your view that quitting was never an option. You were a constant presence of joy among us, and brought smiles to all that you interacted with. We will always remember your humor, your wit, and your ability to pick us up whenever we were down. You were taken from this world too young, and we lost one of our best friends in life. We think of you very often, and even the memories of you always bring joy. We will miss you forever, our sweet Sam.
