The Samuel Family

Oh Stacie, even though it has been eight years, I still think about you just about every day. I know you are smiling down from Heaven right now as you watch our big family grow even bigger! I wish you could have been here to meet Kevin, Lucas, and of course Arianna. Arianna reminds me of you with those big eyes of hers and how happy she makes Becky, your Mom and Dad. Grandpa told me he thinks your spirit has come back in her.

I still remember our last time together. We went to breakfast at Westside Cafe with our Moms. It was the last thing I did before flying back to Utah. I never would have thought it would be the last time I would see you. I wish I could have had more time with you, but I am so thankful for all of our memories together. You had a way of making everyone feel welcome and you never judged. You opened your arms to all. There are things that still make me think of you and smile. Apple pie crust, Disney princesses, flip flops, Albertsons, Honeyman, volleyball, matching outfits, french braids, pinochle, brownie mixes, daisies, and I when I hear your contagious laugh in Becky.

You were like a sister to me and I am so thankful that we were able to grow up together. I love you and miss you so much. Until we are together again.....
