Perhaps what ultimately happened to Sam was that he made his way to the edge of the Sea, and died there, looking out across the great distance that separated him and his Master Frodo. It never says that he sailed West, but if he had died at the edge of the Sea, then the Fairbairns could have assumed that he sailed West. It's quite sad really. I can imagine Sam's body carried off by the waves, and ultimately washing up on the shores of Aman at Frodo's feet. In death, he was finally reunited with his beloved Frodo.
