Samantha Downs

You are never far from my thoughts. It has been 33 months since you were taken from us and yours and Brad's shampoo is still in the shower. I know that sounds crazy but we can't remove it...It has probably evaporated but the bottles are still there.. I remember the time we spent together driving into town to go to work. We would stop by Taco Bell and you would get 3 bean burritos with no onions.  We would have to search through all the burritos to find the ones without onions because they did not mark them...We tore those burritos up.. I remember how your eyes would light up when Brad would get to the laundry mat to pick you up.. You were his life. He adored you, Sam... and I know you loved him and that makes me love you even more... He told me that you completed him... I will always love you and wish we would of had more time together...

I will never forget teaching u how to read so u could pass the second grade and how happy u were when u did it. And our trip to Disney world before hurricane Katrina hit. That was the best week of my life. And how happy u were when u found out I was having a baby. And riding bikes out of our range to go see Todd and jojo in the middle of the night on Halloween. We had so much fun as children and there are to many memories to write..19 years can't be summed up in one paragraph. there's not a day goes by that I don't think of u Sammy. Rest in peace and know that I loved u with all my heart and I never wanted to hurt you just to keep u from being hurt by this evil world. I will low and miss u always.
