Living life to it's fullest, Samantha would love to save any animal she put her eye on, but most of all, she was the best Mother any child could ask for. Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us every day unseen, unheard, but always near. Still very loved, will be very missed and very dear to everyone's hearts. Samantha was called home to take care of her beloved cat "Tiger Boy" and her dog "Jake".
