What a joy to know Sam & her family.

Sam's 2023 facebook post featured this photo taken by her friend Anne Raynaud in 1996. Here's Sam's caption, "I wish I could have told Young Me that it’s going to be a fun, wild ride, just sit back and enjoy all of it! #ItsAllGood!SamanthaRiviere"

Sam passed away on Friday, November 7th after battling brain cancer for a year. There really aren't any words to describe Dom's, Harry's, and their family's changed world. Sam Rivière! I met her in her dream business—an imaginative home, gift, and art gallery named Ursipany, here in Raleigh. Sam was always brimming with joy, creativity, and, well, life. Her efforts to promote local artists and create a welcoming space blossomed into a community. On behalf of Dom and Harry, I'd like to thank you so much for your donation and remembrance of Sam. A year after her diagnosis, Sam has left us. We'll continue to raise funds for her family through this site. Kindly share.
