Sam was strong, opinionated and a had great style as a writer AND as a person.
I discovered Sam in the aftermath of Katrina in 2005. Her blog "Katrina Refrigerator" was one of MANY that detailed New Orleans residents' fight for survival and recovery.

Here's an example of one some of her posts from b2l2 blog
In 2010, for Katrina's 5 year anniversary, Sam and another great New Orleans Blogger - Mark Folse - combined forces and chose the best of the best from NOLA Bloggers' writing in Katrina's aftermath. They described the book as "An Anthology of Writing from PostDiluvian New Orleans"

Sam leaves behind her loving husband and beautiful daughter. And a legacy that enriches the understanding of the real New Orleans.
