Chris and I were so sorry to hear about Sammye’s passing. She was beautiful, clever and funny. She handled the front desk at the prosecutor’s office like a pro. She was so gracious and kind to everyone. Even the angriest people would fall in love with Sammye before they left. I know she will be dearly missed. Sending hugs to all of you.
