"She was losing weight. She had been sick, but they still would not send my child home," Lawal said. "She told me they were overworked, that she sometimes worked 12 hours a day, seven days a week."
Carla Lee, 25, Samuels's roommate at Fort Hood, Tex., said she plans to bring Samuels's beloved Skylar to Maryland for the funeral. She is also planning to bring the loads of pink clothes that line Samuels's closet.
"She loved pink," she said. "All of her clothes were pink."
Even in Iraq, Samuels did not abandon her love of fashion. She went online to order from Victoria's Secret.
Lee said she received a call from Samuels the day she died.
"The message said, 'I was just calling to check on you because you didn't sound very happy the last time we talked. I'll call you back later.' I still have it on my voice mail," Lee said
"She was a very friendly person," said Anice Hagler, 21, who was on the Flowers cheerleading squad with Samuels. "She was funny and a lot of fun to be around."
