Fred and margie, I was so proud of Amy and find myself thinking of her often. I love you guys and I know this Christmas season will be difficult for you. Please know that Charlotte and I have said a Prayer for you and the Family.
Christ is our Comfort in two ways. He holds us tight in our sorrows and He is holding Amy for our future reunion where there is no more parting. - It's only for a little while!

I just found out about Amy a few days ago. Amy was one of my roommates in the Beal Dorm at UMHB. I will never forget the amazing times we all had that semester-putting on "Broadway" shows for Christy's birthday, "celebrity get togethers" for Linnie's birthday, or our own sing-alongs for the dorm to hear. Never have I seen the light of Christ shine so brightly as I saw through Amy. She was always the first to pray for someone or lend a listening ear. Although we are going to miss her terribly, now she is Home with her Heavenly Father where her heart always has been.

Amy was very dear to Sue and I. We felt she was already a part of the family even though the wedding was 2 months away. We couldn't have loved her more if she was our own flesh and blood daughter.
It was easy to find inspiration to compose a song in honor of her. One of her favorite verses was Psalms 139:16. Based on that I composed this song in her memory:
1. An angel dwelt among us, as dear as she could be.
She blossomed right before our eyes, and all the world could see.
The burning love she had for God, her friends, and family.
She was so much like an angel, God set her spirit free.
2. Who would have thought at this tender age, her work on earth was through?
That she'd fulfilled God's plan for her, as all of us must do?
And who would have thought the days God preordained, before her life began.
Were lived if full and now complete, according to God's plan?
(chorus)
The angels up in Heaven, worship at God's throne.
Now she is there to join them, in her eternal home.
She lived by faith, and placed her trust in Jesus Christ alone
Her work on earth complete, He called her home.

To Amy's Family and Friends:
Andy and I were Amy's "Dad and Mom" in Germany during the summer of 2001. What an awesome summer that was as we saw God work, not only in the hearts of the German youth, but in the hearts of several young Texans... including Amy. What an awesome testimony of love and faith she shared with those young campers. I know she made a difference in several lives that summer as she taught them English, counseled them in His Word, bandaged their wounds, and played softball and other games. We will never forget that summer or Amy.
We know that God is pleased to have her join Him in the highest of places. We also know that she has left a mark on your hearts and ours. We thank God for the privilege of knowing her and pray that your hearts will comforted to know that she is sitting at the feet of the one she loved the most.
Our verse that summer was Psalms 46:10: "Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." May God allow you to be still and know that He is God.
Love to all of you in Jesus Christ,

In a life dedicated to her Lord, and evidenced by the love you all have in remembering Amy, the fragrance lingers. I only came to know Amy through prayer. This is now my prayer ~ Lord, if there were words that could heal these dear hearts, I would speak them. If there were arms big enough to hold the loss, I would extend them. But only You, Lord, can offer these precious mercies. In Your wisdom, please answer the impossible questions. In Your grace, please give Your comfort. By Your Presence, let them know how deeply You love them. ~ Amen
My thoughts are with you now.

Phillipians 1:21
For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
And that is what Amy did. Amy has gained the most precious gift of all and I can not wait till I see her again. I was very blessed to have Amy as my nurse when I delivered my daughter. Very strange having someone you grew up with as your nurse but I would not have changed a thing. She will be missed very much but I know I will see her again.

I grieve for Amy's family, for her ancestral family and for her beloved Matt. I am not privileged to live in the area of her father's family so when she came to their home, almost every time I was not there so she did not know me and I did not know her. I hasten to say that it was my wish to know her sibling group but we just didn't arrive at the samme place at the same time and I grieve that there was not an opportunity to know her. She iw and will always be loved and remembered with regret, deep regret that she has passed from our ken.... cousin, Lloyd of Lincoln

Today is the birthday of Amy's mother, Margie, who is my best friend. I've been wanting to write down my thoughts about Amy for the past two weeks and this is a wonderful way for me to do it. To me the word that describes Amy the most is QUALITY. She was a quality daughter. She was always kind, caring and generous to her parents. Amy was sentimental and would find special, meaningful ways to say "I love you" to her parents. Amy was a quality sister. She loved Jonathan and Kara so much. I remember the three of them sleeping together on Christmas Eve every year! She was a quality friend. My daughter, Lora, was one of Amy's closest friends and I know her life is richer today because of her friendship with Amy. She was a quality fiancee, who was looking forward to a Christian marriage with Matt. Most of all, she was a quality Christian. Her life was short, but it was truly a life that will continue to shine for Christ. I Philippians 1:3-6 "I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your parnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus."

There are just not enough words to express the impact that Amy has had on my life and the life of her co-workers. She was a positive light on our unit. She truelly made me want to be a better person, nurse, and Christian. She glowed, her smile brighted a room. She spoke so highly of her family, friends, and we spent many nights discussing Matt and wedding plans. She is very loved, and I feel very blessed to have known her the short time that I have. I have such a peace knowing that she is celebrating with Jesus, and dancing with the angels. Family and Friends you are in my prayers. God Bless you all!!

I met Amy last year in BSF. I began later in the year and was warmly welcomed by her. Although I didn't quite feel comfortable because I didn't know anyone, Amy ALWAYS made me feel right at home. Immediately I felt the love she had for others and for the Lord. She radiated a light that drew people to her. I am so saddened to hear of her passing away. I spent a very little amount of time with her in the big scheme of things, but she made quite an impact on my life. I remember sitting with her during the lectures. She was always tired from working and coming straight to church, but she was always there with a smile. I knew about Matt and heard wonderful things about him. I also remember her telling me about her sister and how much she loved her. I have no doubt in my mind that Amy is with the Lord and that makes me smile. I am forever grateful for the friendship I had with her and only wish I could have known her better. She was truly an example of the kind of woman I hope to be someday, and I know that she will be greatly missed.
Sincerely,
Linda Heath

When our family received the news of Amy's death on earth and her birthday in heaven we felt locked in time. We never heard her speak a harsh word to anyone, she always had a ready smile and genuine love for others. Her love for Christ her Savior shone like the streets of gold she is no doubt dancing on today. She has joined her Grandparents Blundell in heaven with Jesus. Oh the celebration they must be sharing together! We'll treasure the special memories we have of Amy. She lived a faithful Christ-like life here on earth. Her treasures are indeed great in Heaven. We miss & love you.

I just found out a few days ago about Amy. My heart is saddened by her death. I worked customer service at Chick-fil-A in Mesquite and would always look forward to seeing Matt and Amy stop by. They were always such a joy to be around. They made my day, always an uplifting experience with lots to talk about. Amy, I will miss you and hope you know that you made an impression. A truly precious person!

Oh, Amy girl...
Our hearts are burning within us. We are filled with deep sorrow and yet, great mercy. I prayed last Tuesday for God to cover us all in His comfort and mercy- I hadn't felt it the day that Amy died, or even that whole next day. I told Sue that I knew everything that I should know about loss and reliance upon the Lord, but comfort did not visit me. So, in my petition for mercy, the scripture verse, "Weeping may last for the night, but a shout of joy comes in the morning" (Psalm 30:5) came to mind. I couldn't believe that joy would return, but then I remembered that Jesus told His disciples not to rejoice that the spirits were subject to them, but to rejoice that their names were recorded in Heaven. This led me to be reminded that our true joy is in the salvation of Jesus, of which Amy obtained at quite an early age, and shared with all who were blessed enough to have known her (or apparently, as evidenced in these last few days, even to have known someone who knew her). And so, as last week passed and a new week has begun, my joy and comfort have enlarged in my heart and are bursting at the seams to tell everyone what a gracious and merciful God we have- one who promises in His Word, "After you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen, and establish you." ( Peter 5:10) To Him be dominion forever and ever. May God's glory and grace be poured over Fred and Margie, Kara, Jonathan, and Matt, and to all of our families and friends as well. Lord, let us all testify to your goodness!

Although I have aleady submitted an entry I wanted to share another. I was at work looking through a Poteet High yearbook from 1999.(Amy's graduation year) She worked on the yearbook staff and there I found a page dedicated to the yearbook staff's dreams. They were each allowed a quote regarding their dreams. Most kids quipped about money or fame, as you would expect of most teenagers. Amy, however, said that she dreamed "to literally walk in the clouds." Amy was a very special and unique girl, and even then, very, very wise and beyond her years. She was and is an inspiration to me.

Amy was a beautiful soul, who touched everyone in a positive way.
We were all blessed by having the opportunity to know Amy.

To the Blundell Family: I met Fred on the men's retreat a month ago, so I don't know the family, but I wish to express my deepest sympathy for you all. I cannot imagine the pain of losing a daughter, a sibling or a fiance'. I rejoice with you that she is with the Lord, yet I grieve with you in this time of darkness and confusion.
May the Lord comfort you in your grief and may He return soon, to reunite us all with those who have fallen asleep in Christ.

I’m a friend of Mary and Mike Mason, and I met Amy at their wedding back in October. We talked briefly and I took a picture of Amy with Mary; she was a lovely girl with a radiant smile. Amy’s death is one of those things impossible to understand, and words just seem useless at such a time, but I wanted you to know that my heart aches for all her many family and friends. May you all be given the strength to bear your pain and sorrow.

Amy,
I miss you so much, and I can not wait to see you again. I want to be just like you and love God as much as you do. I know you are dancing with angels and singing to the Lord, and you are very happy up there, but I know that I, as well as tons upon tons of people, love you and miss you dearly and we couldn't stand to let you go. I'm glad, however, that you are no longer in pain and you have no fears or worries. You left a legacy behind, Amy, and I intend to follow it.
Love,
Ashley

I was blessed to be Amy's high school math teacher and further blessed to be counted as her friend. She was an example for an entire school and my life is richer from knowing her. In keeping up with one another I continued to be awed by her faith and her sweet, sweet spirit. The world will miss Amy, but I have not one doubt that when she came face to face with Jesus he had a huge 'Job well done, my faithful servant' for her. She is a real example for those who knew her of how to live our short lives here on earth. In her sweet, sometimes reserved way she was a leader for all to emulate. Her love for her Lord made her shine very brightly.

Our loving prayers and sympathy are with Fred, Margie, Jonathan, Kara, Matt, and the entire Blundell Family. We are very saddened by the loss of Amy. My daughter loved to be spend time with Amy. Amy was a great Godly role model for my daughter. We are thankful and blessed for the time Amy took to spend with Ashley. Ashley has recently talked of becoming a Nurse when she grows up, just like Amy. Amy will be greatly missed by us all. We pray for peace and understanding for the Blundell family and friends during this difficult time. God Bless.
With the Love of Christ,
Mike, Ashley, & Brandon Givens

I spent my entire childhood growing up next to Amy in Pleasant Grove. Her, Kara, and myself always played together and shared enjoyable times. The most memorable were the tire swing in her front yard where her dad Fred would push us until darkness fell! I am so saddened to hear of the loss of Amy but there is no doubt in my heart that we know she is in the Lord's presence. My condolences to the Blundell family and to her fiance as well. She will be truly missed as she was an incredible person.

There are no words to describe the loss and the pain in our hearts for the loss of our dear Amy. She was truly an angel on this earth and carried such love, peace, and joy with her everywhere she went. Her cousins Mary, Mike, and John will miss her greatly but our lives have been made richer for knowing her. Amy, we will always love you.

Dear Amy,
What memories our family will carry with us of your love. I know you are probably embarrassed over all of the accolades and blessings of your memory. Many times one may over emphasize or embellish whatever memories that can be recalled over the lifetime of a person, but not with the fingerprints of your engaging passion for Jesus, for me, for my girls. My words flow easy, of you, without the inhibition of clouded reflection or of the need to reach and grasp a memory that is just beyond my finger tips.
You have the gentleness and wisdom of your mother; the spiritual energy that has to have come from your father. I have never heard you use humor at someone else’s expense as I am often guilty of.
Remember the time I picked you up to stay with my girls? As we sat in front of the Dunaway house, we had a general conversation of courting, marriage, family. No thought of you coming into our family even occurred at that time, but I told you to keep in mind that when you do marry, you really marry the whole family as well as the groom to be. Of course, the two do become one flesh, independent of the two sets of parents, but it is so much more than the two becoming one flesh when you blend with his family, and he blends with yours. Your parents gain a son, his parents gain a daughter. Did we not put this into practice when the embers began to burn between you a Matt when your courtship became official?
The thought of you becoming part of this family made me feel like a ‘Chevy’ owner inheriting a ‘Mercedes-Benz’! Amber scolded me for talking so! Amber told me that you look upon Matt as being a Mercedes-Benz as well and to quit talk down my own family. That, of course, wasn’t my intention, but are you not the crown jewel for Matthew? Was Matthew not your crown? Amber scolded me again for telling you that if Matthew somehow didn’t go through with the marriage that I, Amber, Aaron, and Keri, together, will step up and marry you so no one else could. I remember the huge question mark over your head because of my rambling, but in retrospect we already had your love regardless of the future; even today we have you.
You were so gracious in letting me sleep on my own couch as you and Amber talked long into the night of our corporate lives together. My grandmother was so close to all her sisters and together they would lose control, in laughter, over the life they shared with one another. I knew, even as I lie on the couch, that you and Amber and Keri and Noami would do the same deep into the twilight of our lives.
You are my sister.

And who share incarnation with Him,
For all in eternity stranded in time
And weary of struggling with sin ,
Forget not the Hope that’s before you
And never stop counting the cost,
Remember your hopelessness when you were lost?
I am still stranded in time, Amy. But you are a joy in my journey
You are a light I can love on the way, for time without end……..

Words cannot express how saddened I am to hear of the loss of one of the sweetest, godliest women I have ever known. Amy was a precious friend to me from college and I rejoice that I was able to see her and talk with her quite a bit in the recent months before her passing...The testimony of her love for the Lord, servant's heart, and sweet spirit will forever be remembered and be an example to me. Her love for her family and Matt was so great but her love for her Lord was even greater...and now she gets to see Him face to face and worship at His feet. I can't wait for the day when we get to join her and worship Him there as well. May God grant His peace that passes all understanding to her family and friends and may we all live our lives as a testament to the way Amy lived hers...she will be greatly missed by all...

I will miss Amy's beautiful smile. She touched everyone's lives around her. She was someone that I was proud my daughter (Ashley) looked up to. I would want Ashley to grow to be just like Amy. I am glad that she is standing with Jesus!
