I met Samantha through her mother. She was very beautiful just like her mother and was a very loving mother to her two sons and was an inspiration to all her knew her. I am honored that I got to know her.
Our condolences goes out to the entire Leversee and Tabbits Family. We pray that God will give you peace and strength during this difficult and sad time. God Bless and JoJo you may rest in peace.
