“This is the last time my picture was taken with my beloved girl Samantha,” Streisand wrote. “May she rest in peace. We cherish every moment of the 14 years we had with her. May 2003 – May 2017.”

The singer once told the British newspaper, The Independent, that she viewed Sammie as a child.

“She’s the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen. She’s like the daughter I never had,” Streisand said. “She speaks English. She understands English, I swear to God.”
