Support for Samantha “Sam” Amenta-Stavar's Family

Today our community suffered a devastating loss. After 48 hours missing, Framingham Police announced that Sam had been located but found deceased. Our hearts are broken.

Jules & Sam founded and built Dulce D Leche, and have become a pillar of the MetroWest community. They had locations in Framingham and Ashland, and were a staple at many farmers markets around the area. Jules met the love of his life, he described meeting Samantha through a dating app, they were 93% compatible, and Jules described it as a fairy tale, it was truly love at first site.

The community is in shock at the loss. So many people remember their visits with Sam and Jules just within the past few days. Many have recounted their experiences with Sam on their visits to the shop, and how caring, and selfless she was. Even during struggling times, Jules & Sam would do anything and everything they could to give back to the community.

Let us come together as a community, and help support Jules and his extended family during this devastating time. As we are still in the midst of this global pandemic, all restaurants have suffered, and have struggled to remain open. Jules & Sam invested everything they had into their amazing cafe location in Ashland. Let us come together and help Jules and his family, so the last thing him and his son have to worry about is keeping Jules & Sam's business dream alive
