Samantha Bree Runnion (July 26, 1996 - July 15, 2002) was an American murder victim. Samantha was
kidnapped, sexually abused and killed by a man who lured her from her front yard by telling her he
had lost his dog. Samantha, born in Massachusetts and a resident of Stanton, California, at the time
of her death, was about to turn six when she died. Her battered, naked body was found the following
day by two men who were hang gliding off the mountainside near Ortega Highway in Riverside County,
California. The autopsy revealed that she died from a crushed abdomen. A sample of DNA was also
found under her fingernail.

Just like every other little girl she loved Dolls,Dresses,pink and makeup. she also loved
Sunflowers.

I sent you a single rose up to heaven above,
Just to send you all my love.
The rose is a gift from me you see,
For now you're an angel and you fly free.

I picked this rose from all the rest,
Just for you because you are the best.
This rose is a symbol of my love,
For a special angel in heaven above.

God’s Lent Child
“I’ll lend you for a little while
A child of mine” God said –
For you to love the while she lives
and mourn for when she’s dead.
It may be one or seven years
Or twenty two or three
But will you, till I call her back,
take care of her for me?

She’ll bring her charms to gladden you
and, should her stay be brief,
you’ll have her nicest memories
as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise she will stay,
since all from earth return
but, there are lessons taught below,
I want this child to learn.

I’ve looked the whole world over,
in my search for teachers true,
and from the throngs that crowd life’s lane
I have chosen you.
Now will you give her all your love,
nor think the labour vain,
nor hate me when I come to take
this lent child back again?

I fancied that I heard them say,
“Dear Lord Thy Will Be Done”
for all the joys thy child will bring
the risk of grief we’ll run.
We’ll shelter her with tenderness,
we’ll love her while we may,
and for the happiness we’ve known
forever grateful stay.
But, should thy Angels call for her
much sooner than we planned,
we’ll brave the grief that comes
and try to understand….
