It is with deep sorrow that we share the passing of sweet River Sames, who left this world far too soon on April 21, 2026.

Born on February 27, 2024, River filled her two years with love, light, and a quiet strength that touched everyone around her. She was a deeply cherished daughter and the only girl in her family, adored by her parents and her three big brothers.

River lived with rare medical conditions, including MPPH syndrome and polymicrogyria. While her journey came with many challenges, her spirit remained bright and full of love. She made a lasting impact on those who knew her and brought awareness to the strength and beauty within the rare disease community.

As her family navigates this heartbreaking loss, they are also facing the unexpected burden of funeral expenses. For those who feel led to help, any contribution would be deeply appreciated and will go directly toward honoring River’s life. Sharing this page and keeping the family in your thoughts and prayers also means so much.

River’s time here was far too short, but her life leaves behind a legacy of love that will never be forgotten.

A celebration of River’s life will be announced at a later time.
