A Special Thank You From Samantha's Family!

The quilt is beautiful.  I got home after the mail man had come so I ran to the post office and they told me I would have to come back tomorrow, I told them the story of Sam and Love Quilts and MACS and they tracked the mailman down and he brought the package to the post office.  I was so excited we opened the box in the parking lot, and I just broke down.  When we got home my husband was there and we opened the card.  Oh My, we both just broke down.  This is a very special quilt and Samantha will have it for ever.  I will never never be glad that Samantha got sick, but I tell you that meeting and feeling all the love from all the people makes it make a little more sense why a little girl had to suffer.  It just amazes me how can people be soooooooo generous with their time, the most valuable thing anyone has.  It just amazes me.  The stichers are really wonderful people not to mention very talented.  Sammie just loves the pillow she slept with it the first night and keeps it with her.  I can actually visualize my daughter wrapping her child with the quilt when they are sick and telling them that this is the magic blanket.  Wrap it around you and you will feel hugs from around the world and know you are loved and you will feel better in the morning.  I wish we were rich so we could fly to every town and every city and meet all of you face to face.  I guess you will just have to take our word for it, we love you all so much, you made Sam better with your prayers and support and we will NEVER forget you all for that.

Love,

SAMANTHA J
