We were so lucky to have you as our neighbours at Marston Rise . Your love of dogs inspired me to get my Ozzy
Was lovely keeping in touch after you left .
Often bumped into at hospital appointments and you were still smiling . So sorry your journey ended too early.
You funeral service today was beautiful just like you . Love Veronica (Ronnie)

Missing you Sam.
When things get bad on this cancer
pathway I think 'what would Sam do?' and this helps me get through the next hurdle. I feel so grateful to have known her and so sad it wasn't for longer - I hope she knew what an inspiration she was to me and how much I admire and try to match her determination and fighting spirit xx
