What a sweet poem! I love it. :)) No, I have not heard of Katya Lycheva and I didn't know about Samantha until my Russian friend told me. Katya was probably covered in the media, but back then I was younger and not so concerned with news or world affairs, so I don't recall her name. It's very tragic that this girl died so young. :(( But she leaves behind a very important and purposeful legacy, and accomplished something great in her short years on Earth. This is more than most people achieve.
