Leave a tribute for Samantha Allyson Crow Foster.






My dear SweetSam, I can still hear that infectious laugh of yours. I can still see that big pearly white smile. I am still in shock that you are no longer here. I’m not exactly sure how to put it into words. You were one of the very few people I could completely confide in and know that I was in a no judgement zone. You always helped every one that you could. You had such a caring and genuine heart. There isn’t a doubt in my mind that you are in heaven with your precious daddy right now, but that doesn’t make it any easier to say goodbye to someone we weren’t ready to let go of. You truly will be missed. Thank you for always being someone that loved me for me and always having a listening ear. I love you Sam! Until I see you again, keep an eye on us down here.

I'm so sorry for the loss of Samantha. Praying for peace and comfort for your family.
Melissa, I’m so sorry that you are going through this. Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.💞💞

Samantha had such a great spirit and was just as sassy. Knowing she is completely healed and walking with her loved ones who are with the Lord gives all comfort; our hearts are heavy with grief, but we know she will be waiting to see her family and friends.
