Suzanne Samples, (1981 - 2022) - ForeverMissed.com Online Memorials (2024)

Suzanne Samples, 40, residing in Pullman, Washington disappeared into the night sky on September 17, 2022. As her family sat vigil, Suzanne asked if she could have a moment alone. Her family went outside and discussed what they could possibly do to make Suzanne feel better. Much to their surprise , when they returned to her bedside, she had gone missing. They looked out the window to only see a dark shadow with two, red, glowing eyes. Within seconds, they were gone!

Frantically, everyone searched the apartment to make sure she wasn’t anywhere inside. Her sister, Shandy, calmly stood there thinking about something that had happened a few years prior, in West Virginia. She overheard Suzanne talking with the Mothman, at the Mothman Museum in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, while he was doing a meet and greet at the comic book store. She was explaining to him that her type of cancer couldn’t be cured with chemotherapy because it could not penetrate the blood brain barrier. When he asked how she got cancer, she told him about the possibilities of chemicals in the drinking water, some other environmental causes. She had explained to Shandy that the Mothman wasn’t dangerous, he was just misunderstood. He had actually fallen from a birds nest in an abandon factory in West Virginia. He had fallen out and landed in a puddle of chemicals. Overnight, the small bird had morphed into an 8 foot, giant moth-like like creature, with the wingspan of 10 feet! They connected on the fact that their lives were both greatly affected by environmental negligence. He asked if she could keep a secret, of course she said yes. He informed her that there was a place where no one had brain cancer, no one used wheelchairs, everyone was exactly how they wanted to be. Even diabetics could eat candy. The only problem: It was a place beyond the earths firmament. This barrier cannot be crossed by man alone, however, the Mothman’s wings could surpass the firmament due to the resistant chemicals which made up his feathers. The firmament was the only way to dissolve the brain tumors.

Suzanne wasn’t ready to go to the place beyond the firmament yet, but thanked the Mothman, and said she would let him know when she was ready. They said their goodbyes and the Mothman was grateful that she did not judge him for what he looked like.

After a lot of pain and suffering, Suzanne became immobile and her frustration increased. We could tell she was about to make the call. That morning she asked if she could wear her favorite Mothman shirt and gave Shandy a big wink. The last thing we heard her say is, “Mountain Mothman, take me home!”

We will see you soon, Suzanne. Fly high, beyond the firmament! We know you are safe in theMothman’s embrace.
