Samantha Anastinia Mariska Muchowicz

Today you are 9. I think often of who you would be today. Your sister and brother would have looked up to you. An our lives would be different. You have given me so much in so little time. My love for you is endless. Like the ocean that wraps itself around the earth. Never ending. We send kisses and hugs from here on earth and pray it reaches you in heaven. Happy birthday my little kitten.

I remember Samantha coming over one weekend with her mom, it was summer and she was very hyper. we went inside and made her something to eat, my sister, cousins and aunts were all inside, and samantha would do or say the littlest things to make us laugh. She use to play with my little cousin Skylar, they were so close, played almost everyday together. I remember walking in on them dancing together, and we have a video of it. We love you Sammy, and hope to see you again.

I remember the one weekend that I had Samantha at my very own home. My mother and father were stoked to have her there, she was so well behaved. Just sat there and watched t.v., would grab everything and with her cute little voice look up at someone and say "what's that?" and then drop it and run off into another room somewhere. It was funny and fun. She made us all laugh. The best part was when I went to give her a bath, and I wasn't quick enough to wrap a towel around her, so she ran to the one side of the couch where my dad had been sitting, and just stood there for a moment, then when he looked at her, she giggled and said hi, only she was naked!!! It was another cute and funny moment. I will never forget any of the memories I have with her. Whether it's the times I laid on the couch with her watching cartoons til we both fell asleep for a while, or playing on the park with her til I couldn't move anymore. I loved every moment with that vibrant and extraordinary child. I miss her every moment, every second, every day. I love you Samantha. You are forever missed. <3 Aunt Ara (Sara)

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.

<pat, pat, pat, pat, pat> (wathcing her excited face as she pats her legs and gets ready to jump up as high as she can with her arms  up high) "BLAST OFF!!" she yells, as she watches Rocket blast off on the Lil Einstiens.
