Dr. Sam loved social media. Everyone who connected with her on Facebook had the pleasure of a steady stream of photographs – whether moody black and white clouds, mouthwatering plates of shellfish or cheesy selfies on the lighthouse path, with a dripping wet spaniel in the background. And so, with a nod to her love of that online world, Leanne has gathered together all of the wonderful comments and stories that people posted in tribute. I’ve picked out some of the best bits. Sam – a force of nature, a beaming smile Her friendship and wise advice will be missed by all who knew her A gifted historian, a pleasure to work with A brain the size of a building, with a heart to match Her energy was exceptional. Her support, as well. A smile that lit up every room The most positive minded person I’ve ever had the privilege to know Always ready for a chat, and a laugh Kind, thoughtful, welcoming Made everyone feel special She embodied everything about the RNLI The essence of the RNLI RNLI to her core Full of joy and mischief, with a twinkle in her eye An absolute legend. Warm, positive, accomplished. Modest, intelligent, inspirational. One in a million. Never complained about being the Navigator in the ‘vomit’ seat, even in the worst weather – could always be counted on to get the crew home safe One of life’s great characters A true leader, a true friend A unique person with a wealth of knowledge and experience, a kind heart, and a great sense of humour. An utter legend. A tour de force. Clever, funny, positive. Held in the highest esteem. A wee ray of sunshine. Brave. A social Colossus whose magnetic personality spanned friends from every background. A true polymath. A brilliant woman, with a life well lived. Kind, witty, sarcastic. Unbridled enthusiasm. A very special part of the Mull community. It’s hard to think that there’s no Sam One of the most interesting and inspiring people I ever met Always lived life to the fullest Full of warmth A truly wonderful human being Sam never ceased to amaze me with her exploits Tobermory will be an emptier place without her warm smile and adventurous spirit Loved by so many Spirited, fun, passionate Devoted, curious and hard working. One of life’s gems. A wicked sense of humour Always had a smile I can’t imagine there is a single person in the world who didn’t like Sam. An incredible lady with a huge heart. Fair winds and following seas to a great friend.
