Thoughts
Sam you brought laughter and joy to everyone you came into contact with. When me and Ol first met you, you met us both with a smile. We never saw that smile fade, not when you started your battle or at any point after. In the 4 years I’ve known Sam I don’t think I heard her complain once, she was always a beacon of positivity and she spread that feeling to people around her. Ol is going to miss showing you his trick of the week or coming for his little natter in between periods at games. We’ll do our best to fill your vocal shoes and keep block 3 loud for you. I’m ever so grateful that we had the privilege of knowing you Sam – our lives will forever be better for it.

Like many others here, I knew Sam from our time together working at the University of Leeds. I only worked with Sam for just over a year but during that time she took me under her wing (as she always did with new people) to make sure I felt welcomed and part of the team. She was so kind and thoughtful and super quick witted and funny. She was amazing at her job (you could tell how much pride she took in her work) and she could be firm when she needed to be, but knew how to have a laugh too. She always went that extra mile (Easter egg hunts!) and I hope she knew how much that meant to everyone.
The outpouring of love everyone has shown Sam during the last few years shows the massive impact she’s had on so many people. She will be incredibly missed but she will never be forgotten ❤️

Sam was a wonderful person, so lovely, kind, thoughtful and funny, and I will treasure my memories of working with her. As a little anecdote, I remember Sam handing out advent calendars to everyone in our EC Stoner office, which shows how generous and thoughtful she was, and that she was indeed pure sunshine to be around. I also remember exchanging stories with her around German christmas customs which she was of course so familiar with. Lots of love from Anja xxx

It doesn’t seem fair that your light was taken from us so soon. But your sparkle will be reflected in the stars now. When I look at the sky and the stars are shining bright I’ll know it’s because of you. ⭐
