Remembering Samantha: Aid for Her Legacy

Donation protected
I am Dr. Brian Kelchen, and I am at a loss for words. This is the hardest message I have ever written. Samantha Zebleckis Pageau passed away suddenly on June 9th. She leaves behind her husband Ben Pageau, son Colton, and dog Diesel. It is hard to describe how important Sam was and how many lives she made better. She was a friend, co-worker, and the backbone of our clinic. I have had the amazing pleasure of working with Sam for the past 12 years. LWG will never be the same. The culture, the fit, the everything were as a result of her hard work and determination. She was the first and last person most patients saw. I am not sure where we would be if Ben did not convince her to apply. I do know moving forward she will be missed and never forgotten.

This is a message from her husband Ben,

I miss you so much, my love. I wish you could read this. I wish you would walk right through that front door so I could kiss you and hug you. I will forever have a void in my heart that will be empty. Until I see you again, I will take care of Colton and make sure he remembers his momma and how absolutely amazing of a person and mom you were.

I have asked permission to raise money in her honor for her son and favorite charities. If you are able, please donate and let her family know how special Sam was and how much she will be missed. While no amount of money will ever be enough to represent a life, I hope it demonstrates how many people's days were made better with a smile.
