We love Amy and are grateful for her funny, sweet personality. She was always so nice to my kids, and she was very thoughtful in remembering the details of our lives. She always truly cared! It was such a blessing to have her as a friend, and I am grateful to know that through Christ we will all live again without the challenges of this current life. I know Amy must be doing an important work for the Lord where she is now. She is continuing to bless and influence for good. I pray that all of Amy’s family will be comforted and lifted up during this very sad time.
Amy always had such a special light. She was always kind to those around her and always happy and willing to help with anything. She was truly an angel on earth, constantly serving those around her. She was always smiling and such a sweet person to be around. Amy emulated characteristics of Christ and was a wonderful example to us all of how to follow in his path. We love and miss Amy and hope her family continuously feels her spirit near.
