Death is more universal than life, everyone dies but not everyone lives. A. Sachs This memorial website was created to remember our dearest Samantha Muchowicz who was born in Warsaw, Indiana on November 26, 2005 to John and MaTara Muchowicz and passed away on May 25, 2007 at the age of 2. Samantha loved to dance, play, and ride her little bike. She adored Spongebob, big trucks, and butterflies.
Though her life ended so soon, it was not in vain. She loved and was loved by many, in life and in death. Samantha taught all of us to live life to the fullest and not leave it with any regrets. May we remember Samantha's beautiful smile with every sunrise, rainbow, and butterfly that we see.
You will live forever in our memories and hearts, dearest Samantha.

Latest Memories
It is getting close to her memorial. I remember the time she was born, and how happy I was, and the look on John's face. An the love we both shared for Samantha. I remember her first christmas and the kids getting her a book and a stocking. I remember everytime John tried putting her in the tub with me to take a bath and her peeing on him and him getting mad and laughing about it because it only happened to him. I remember her first baby picture in her purple dress and trying to get her to smile and she was just to tired for pictures that day. I remember not being the most perfect parent, but doing my best. As like you, all I have are my memories. Even the painful ones. In memory of Samantha Anastinia Mariska Muchowicz. My kitten.
Its so hard to deal with all of this. I really wish Sam could've been able to grow up with her cousin Hailynn Nevaeh Jobe. They both loved playin together when they got the chance and they both had so much fun! We will miss Samantha always and forever! I wouldnt know what to do with my self and I'm glad that Matara and John are both holding on even though they have experinced this kind of thing. I will always be here to help either one of them! I love you guys!
Love always and forever
Keshia and her cousin Hailynn!!
Here's a pic of her cousin just for her!!!
i was a hospital worker while she was there and what i saw will always be with me and my family .From one family to another sorry for your loss.
I remember the only bonfire I got to have with her. She spent the whole time running around. I think that she was excited becuase her cousins that she had never met before were there. My daughter (her cousin) played with her the whole time. My mom had a board with holes cut out of it and some bags with beans in it. Sam and my daughter played for a long time trying to throw the bag in the holes. we roasted hotdogs and marshmellows. Sam wanted to play with the stick.
Easter '07 Was the last holiday with Sam. She had lots of fun on the Easter egg hunt.

Samantha was the best little child in the world. Even though before your death I had not seen you for a long time, since you were a baby I can still feel your soul deep inside. Every time I see a butterfly I just blink and stare until I can see them no more and just for a minute sit there and think of what your life would of become. I would like to think you would of grown up some one real special and contributed your soul into those lifes of some one needing the help of a wonderful person you were. Its almost been a year since you were taken from us so desperatly. I remember when i heard of your death. just hours after the tragic had happend. Sara ran up to me in tears and told me and i was in shock, didnt want to beleive it. Then all of a sudden i heard it on the radio and i rushed over to your grandmas apartment when i sat with your mommy and talked of happy times. Butterflies. Choo Choo's. Sippy Cups of Milk. Sponge Bob. Your angelic face. You are always in my heart sammy! we love you and miss you more and more each day.

I never knew I would see the day that Samantha died before any of us. I remember at the hospital, when she was born, and John had called my phone, and all MaTara could say was "Oh my, I just had a baby.." then I heard the click. Samantha was the first child I ever held, and the first child that I had ever helped with. John, you were such a wonderful father. Always making sure she had what she needed, and making sure that everyone who was close to her got to see her as well. I miss her. I look at her picture every morning and every night before I go to bed, as well as my mother, and say a prayer. Your family is in my prayers as well. The good thing is, I'm so happy to know that she is in the hands of God. Of course, what I would give to just have her run up to me at 7 in the morning, and hit me in the head with a stinking sippy cup asking me for more milk. I would give anything up just for that to happen a dozen or more times. I miss you Samantha. You are always and forever in mine and my families hearts!! You were the best niece anyone could ever have. And you father was one of the best I have ever seen!!! I send my love and prayers to you all. <3 Sara
John,
I never noticed how much she looked like you until i peeked at the gallery. It was rather sweet. I'm sure you will see her little angelic face in heaven someday. It has been some time since she has gone now. God always has his reasons for something as harsh as this, but I am sure you already knew that. I think that's why you were so quick to smile and laugh like you used to. The Good Lord gives as freely as He takes away. May you find blessings more abundantly from God then any losses.
