Sam, you were a great friend to both of us at a particularly tricky time in both of our lives. You gave a shoulder to cry on, an ear to listen and were a light-hearted, fun and spirited person to go out with. You were also one of the original Angel Blacks netballers and possibly the only one to keep your cool, even when tensions on that court got heated! You were just endlessly kind, full of empathy and fun to be around. Even though our friendship drifted in recent years, when our paths did cross it was like no time had passed. You played a poignant role at a pivotal time in both our lives and will always hold such a very special place in our hearts.
