"To Amy's loving family.... My heart is so sad. Our family was devistated to hear the terrible news. It still doesn't feel true that Amy is gone. On the day I heard about the accident and even now i can see her little girl face. She was such a sweet little girl with lots of laughs and giggles. At school she was the highlight of my day. She turned into a beautiful lady and Mother. The pictures of her girls look just like there mom. I can't imagine how the family is handeling all of it. Praise God she is in his arms now. I'm gonna look her up when I get there. Love to all. Betty Salyer "

"Feeling wordless. Not sure "so sorry" eases any amount of pain. I have only ever seen your family a few times briefly... although I always wished for more. Just know that Amy had a way of making an eternal dent on my heart. She was real about life and that's what made her a complete and total PEOPLE MAGNET!! Anxiously awaiting heaven so much more now. Tears and prayers, Laura (Hager) Jensen"

"Amy was a 5 yr old in my K5 Sunday School Class. She was a joy to teach. She noticed my purse needed updating and so had her mother buy me a new one for my birthday. I was so touched by her kindness. She had such a generosity of spirit which lives on in the hearts of her precious daughters. She will be fondly remembered with much love. "
