"I really can't find the right words to say. Amy and I went through school together for almost 12 years. I used to call her on the phone at night in second and third grade. Amy brought me a blanket, a bag of books and gave me money while I was in a physical therapy rehab facility in lockdown during covid in 2020. I was hoping to catch up with her in person some time. Don't put off catching up with people... Time is precious and fleeting. I'm praying for her family and friends, such a great loss to everyone who knew her. We were very fortunate to have known her. There is a light that never goes out."
In loving memory of
Amy Buchanan

"Amy was always there to help everyone. She had a great talent for problem solving, she would ask questions (quite a few of them) and then come up with some great advice. She was a precious gem, her beautiful smile is burned in my memory forever."
"I've got sunshine on a cloudy day When it's cold outside I've got the month of May That's my girl Amy She shined like the sun A truly radiant being"
"I worked with Amy at the thrift store for several years. Every Tuesday from 4 to 6 PM we worked together. She was truly one of the kindest people I?ve ever met. She went out of her way to help the customers in the store and always made them feel very special when they came in. When we closed the store at 6 o?clock she always made sure to leave me with a hug. She was a great hugger ! May her memory be a blessing."
"Jean McCloskey on Nov.5, 2022 Amy became my daughter's best friend back in their High School years, so we have known Amy for a long time. Amy was a beautiful young lady and became more beautiful as we got to know her. Her love of the Lord shone through all of her actions. She shared her faith in many ways and was an inspiration. God gave her a wonderful faith in Him, no matter what was happening in her life, she always had a positive attitude. I always thought it was wonderful to get an e-mail from her where she shared her devotional and of course, pictures of her loved ones, flowers, trees, and the beauty of the world around her--God's creation. We will all miss her, but know she is in Heaven where her Savior must have said "Well done, faithful servant.""
"I just wanted to tell everyone what a awesome girl she was. i didn't know her for a long time but every time i saw her and her mom it was a pleasure. They would come into the thrift shop that i volunteer at on Friday and Saturday and i would make sure they saw me and that i seen them. I gave them nicknames just for fun and to make them smile. So sad to say i will miss Amy (discount sally) was the nickname i gave her and her mom was grandma..God bless her and her family.. knowing i have another angel in heavens is wonderful. Love Gloria from the second time around thrift shop in tuckerton, nj"
