Dear Dan, Liz, Katie, Annie, and Mark,
I am deeply saddened by the loss of Amy. She was such a kind-hearted woman, who would do anything for anyone. Amy's love and caring attitude towards anything and everything gave her the potential to do anything she wanted. Our families have known each other for many years. Especially Lizzie and Annie's soccer/softball/basketball/birthdays, and even Dan and Steve's coaching the girls. I'm happy to have known Amy from the beginning of our schooling careers. My most treasured memory, was our 7th grade dance. I will never forget the time(s) Amy and I have. She is in good company with many people up in heaven, including my mother. You will always be remembered by those who cared and loved you dearly. I'm sorry I couldn't be there to say goodbye. God bless you Amy and you family. Goodbye.

My thoughts and prayers are with Amy and the rest of the Smith family. Although it has been years since I talked to Amy, those who knew her were very fortunate. Amy was an unbelievably genuine and kind soul. This is tragic because of the amount of success and potential that was being accomplished by her. Having said that, what is lost here on Earth was truly gained in Heaven. Amy, you will always be remembered by those whose lives you have entered. I wish I could be there to say goodbye one last time. God Bless You.
