  3. Dear Ben (and family),

    There are no words or actions that can ever be sufficient in expressing the huge impact her loss has had.
    Sam was one of the most positive, friendly and amazing people I’ve ever met.
    I am truly sorry for what you are going through and know that if there is anything we can do to lighten the load or provide support, just ask.

  4. Dear Ben and family

    I am devastated for you all. That gorgeous woman, Sam, will be terribly missed by anyone that ever had the pleasure of meeting her. Sam always said hello, always with a smile on her face. Such a wonderful woman, taken far too soon. Sending my condolences just doesn’t seem enough. I wish there was more I could do.

  5. Beautiful girl, gone too soon. Thinking of Sam’s family at this difficult time x
