I met Sammy through a friend. In the time that I knew her I found her to be a very normal, kind and fun girl with a fantastic down to earth personality. We as a group of girls shared many Saturday nights out on the town together laughing and dancing the night away until the early hours. Just before she died I had started to get on really well with her and valued her as a true friend for years to come. She had a good job as a manger of a resturant 'The Peldon Rose' in Mersea and had everything going for her.
On Friday 17th June 2005 at 3.20pm Sammy finished her shift at The Peldon Rose and her life was taken from us when her car lost control and hit a tree a short way down the road, she was 19 years old. The songs 'push it' and 'no digity' were played at her funeral and everytime I hear those songs I think of her. It feels surreal talking about her in a past tense as she should still be here and I just cant understand the logic of why things like this happen.
I have set this site up to keep her memory alive and to let her and everyone know that she will NEVER be forgotten. I don't know all of Sammy's friends so i'm hoping that word is going to get round about this site.If you have any photos and songs that you would like to add, please do. Even if you never had the pleasure in meeting her, please feel free to leave a message. At her funeral the vicar described her a a butterfly. I have uploaded the song Butterfly by mariah carey dedicated to sammy.
I just want to say Sammy that you are always in my thoughts and I will never forget you. I am honoured to have had contact with you over the few days before you died and I am so pleased to have known you. I hope that you are ok wherever you are and are looking down on your lovely family and friends. You will always be close to my heart forever to eternity.This is my tribute to you. All my love Carly.xxxx
i knew sammi from when we used to go to the same dance school based on north hill colchester. we were in the same tap class when we were around 14-15 and she was a great dancer. this sounds awful but i didnt actually know that Sammi had died until i came on hear and saw a picture of her and realised that i knew the face and then i remember the memories of her in the dance show etc we did together. i didnt know her very well but i was always envious of the talent she had and i always wanted to be just like her and looked up like she was - reading the tribute i now realise that she was the girl that my dad told me about that had been killed on the main mersea road all those years ago and he asked me if i knew of her and at the time the name rang no bells. how unfair and what a fantastic life has been taken from the world - god bless you Sammi and all my love to your loved ones wo are missing you. RIP xx

Missing you forever-some of my memories I treasure.
Dear Sammy,
Wherever you are or wherever you may be, I hope that you are ok...There has never been a single day go by where I havent thought about you. I wish that you were still with us. I keep thinking back to the times when me, you and chantel & the girls went out on a saturday night, especially when me, you and chantel went to the hippodrome and chantel was sick in the r&b room and we had to go down the emergency exit to leave the club...we were giggling so much.I remember meeting in the Playhouse for 1st drinks and you always used to have your dkny bag that I loved, those cute skirts with your boots and some type of vest top-especially that morgan top!I remember when we went out during the week to edwards-to this day i remember exactly where we parked, you had your blue saxo at the time and you had on a pair of jeans, white jacket and you had just had your hair highlighted as you were going to a ball. A couple of weeks before you passed away me, you & chantel went to edwards during the week and we sat on the leather sofasand had a girly chat.There are so many memories that me and your friends have of you. I will never forget the day that I got the phonecall...it still feels surreal...i miss you so much.
You have touched so many people. I just wish that I had the chance to have a longer friendship with you Sammy but I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to have had you as a friend for the couple of years that I did know you.
I will never forget that you loved malibu and pinapple-I will have one on you hun!
Merry Christmas Sammy...your an angel high in the sky and you will be thought of by so many at this time of the year.
Goodnight hun,
Love Carly.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
