"I am so sorry to hear about your loss and I wanted to share a scripture that'll bring you encouragement and hope at Revelations 21:4 "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." This is definitely something we all look forward to, when we will see our loved ones again. "

Barbara Selby "SAMMI JO HAS A PLACE IN HEAVEN" Please don't sing sad songs for Sammi Jo, Forget your grief and fears, For she is in a perfect place, Away from pain and tears... She is far away from hunger And hurt and want and pride. She has a place in Heaven With the Master at her side. Her life on earth was short but very good, As earthly lives can go, But Paradise is so much more Than anyone can know... Her heart is filled with happiness And sweet rejoicing, too. To walk with God is perfect peace, A joy forever new. Praying this poem will help in some small way. God Bless.. With deepest sympathy, Barbara Selby"
"My favorite memory of Sammi was when she was 18 months Jill and Roger were home for a visit and Sammi was learning how to walk so she was pulling herself up and walking. I was laying on the floor with my head against are couch and she started walking towards me holding on to it and she gets up to smiles with adorable grin bottle hanging out of her mouth and trying her best to kick me in the head it made me laugh."
