I am saddened by the loss to the family but am happy that my whole family at one time or another has worked and become a part of the miracles that the Ames family has provided. Without their influence in our lives we would not be where we are today. Thank you for being you and thank you for the wonderful memories that you have provided me for the rest of my life. I will miss the old days of Weirs Beach and mostly my times visiting and working in the Snack Bar. Good luck in yur travel through the heavens as some day we will all be together again.

Dear Mr. Ames and Family,

I can remember many summer vacations when I was just a boy up to Half Moon.

With my Mom Connie and my Grandparents Peg and Wes Baker.

Many fond memories of Mrs. Ames and yourself working hard at the resort and down the hill at the arcades.

May God Bless you all at this difficult time.

My heartfelt sympathy and prayers.

R.I.P. Mrs. Ames
