I have been offline for a few days & my heart sank when I read this news.

Sending all my love to sams family. She was such an amazing lady that we will all remember fondly.

Thank you Sam for your inspiration....RIP lovely lady.

Marlene, yes, Sam had such a striking smile :) I will remember her for her kindness, gentleness, and her smile. She will be so missed x

I am so saddended to hear that beautiful Sam , is now a beautiful angel.

My condolences are with her family and close friends.

We all chatted with her at some point on this blog. She always had courage, strength and beautiful smile.

Rest in peace beautiful one. May you smile in heaven without the pain no more.

Thanks Sam , from one of your pink lady fans XX

And so we say goddbye to another amazing pink lady.
Sam you were the whole classy deal, you warmth and compassion shone even in your darkest days.
I told a friend last night of your passing and she replied "oh the one with the gorgeous smile, lipstick and hat "
That is the image i will keep of you until we meet again.
Hugs Marls

I am so saddened by the news of Sam's death.  She was a vibrant, young, amazing woman who lived every day to the full even when the things that made her happiest were being taken from her bit by bit.  She said she was going to miss dancing and driving.  I will miss her energy.  We never did get to meet - thwarted by distance and disease each time we tried but we connected.

I asked Sam, when in the depths of despair at my ABC diagnosis, "Will I ever feel happy again?" and she said, simply "Yes, of course you will!"

She was right but today its sadness if feel and also such gratitude that this woman whispered something so perfect into my ear at just the right time.

Thank you Sam. RIP. x

Sam was such an inspiration when I trained with her as a Community Liaison.

The strength, courage and resilience that she has shown over the short time that I knew her (March 2011) was amazing.  

 I know that we all will feel the loss in different ways – I am grateful (sometimes bordering on guilty) that my cancer was caught so early and through the decisions I made, I will not have to travel the path that so many tread with secondary BC.

The dignity Sam showed throughout the past 2 years was inspirational..

May we all remember her with fond memories and be reminded that our journeys inspire others - no matter whether public or private. Each life we touch is precious....

Love to all our Pink Sisters

I've been thinking of you Fran.  You have a lot to endure at the moment.  I knew you would be very sad about Sam.  We all feel the pain of losing Sam.  Sam was a beautiful soul.  Please look after yourself.  I am looking forward to giving you a big hug at the Summit.  We will all be "singing" for Sam and all the other lost Pink Sisters at the FOW.
