To Meme's family we are so sorry for your loss. Amelia came into our family and was such a joy. She and my mom became close friends and Amelia helped out daughter Tammie in pagents. She was always a giving loving person.

It is difficult to believe Amelia was 80 and in a nursing home. I last saw her a vibrant and happy woman at the Ritz. Amelia named my oldest daughter and she an another reporter, now Ann Land took turns visiting the labor room. I remember her laughter and dedication to her work.
