"Amy, Words can not even begin to express how shocked and devastated I am. I was overjoyed to get in touch with you after almost 20 yrs and to get to know you as an adult instead of a 8 yr old:) I was out of town when you sent your message and when I got home and responded I guess it was too late. I wanted to hear everything-ask about Toto-your boys-your sister and dad and nieces. I can speak for my entire family when I say we are sending our love and thoughts to your family, especially your beautiful little boys. I wish we could have caught up more.....Love ALWAYS, Amy! xoxo"

"To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. God needed another flower for his precious garden so he picked Amy because he only takes the best. May the memories of her spirit bring you much comfort and joy. My prayers are with you. "
