Sam was always such a sweet person to me she will be greatly missed!
My heart is broken I meet Samantha Gracie and all you guys at quality plus .and developed a bound with yall .later on sam was a great friend of mines dental assisant. And she treated him with such kindness and respect .the only way I could get him to go to dentist was tell him Samantha would be there. Love you guys and my thoughts and prayers.

I’m still shocked and saddened to hear about the passing of Sam. She was always cheerful, bubbly, kind, and a very loving and compassionate person. She loved Gracie unconditionally and I remember when she brought her to daycare and picked her up she always told her she loved her and had a big hug for her. She adored her little sister Chelsea as well. They were always so close and I know there’s a big gap left in Chelsea’s life now. I will continue to pray for her family and friends not only today but in the days ahead. We love you and miss you Sam.🩷😇
