Samantha was an amazing woman.  She grabbed life by the horns,  Even when she was down, she was up.  She was the catalyst that held this family together.  Most opinionated, outspoken, fierce, strong-willed, hard-working, she succeeded at everything she put her mind to.  Her greatest achievements were her children and grandchildren.  She married only once to her soulmate.  She also left behind her beloved dogs, who were like children to her.  She will be missed immensely.  She never backed down from anything and no one.  She went out on her shield.  WE LOVE YOU!
