Samantha Quinn was a smart and funny child with an infectious smile and a remarkable memory for song lyrics.  She loved horses and successfully participated in hunter jumper competitions.  She was a joy to her parents and older siblings.  But in her early adolescence, she began to struggle with mental health issues which seemed to intensify as she grew older.  Her parents Stephen and Linda walked this difficult journey with her and sought out the best treatment options available.  At the age of 20, Samantha's earthly life ended when she died by suicide, and her new life in Heaven began.  In this episode, Jill talks with Sam's mom and dad about the chaotic nature of mental illness, issues related to suicide, how their faith in God has been impacted by this experience, and their choice between two roads set before them.
