Amy,
I can not tell you how bad I miss you. Easter was so hard without you. The usual things are gone now. Looking and listening for you, I know I can hear you talking but I can't find you. Mom is having a hard time, I know you can help her, I'm asking you to guide her to mend some. My heart knows you are whole, happy, and of course smiling but it was to soon for you to be taking from us. I need my best friend, my sister...I feel so empty without you and Dad. Deep down I know you both are taking care of each other. Some day I will see you again with Dad, save a spot for us. I love you forever and ever!!!

Amy, you were such a great friend. I will always remember the fun times we had together bowling (the "Daughdads"). You had such a great smile and laugh, I'll never forget them or you! I'll always have great memories of you.

Amy,
I'm going to miss working with you. Walgreens won't ever be the same without you. Working holidays was not so bad, cause we worked together. I'll always remember your smile and laugh.

Amy,
We lost track of each other over the years, but I still considered you a wonderful friend. We met back in our Freshman year at Northrop and stayed friends into College. I will forever remember the fun we had, the time we spent together, and your laugh. My prayers are with your family so that they may get through this difficult time.
Your friend,

My sincerest condolences to your family. I went to high school with Amy. We became friends freshman year and remained friends through college at IPFW. We had some great times together---she was an awesome friend. She had a great laugh and I remember how unbelievably smart she was at math. I'm deeply saddened by such a tragic accident. Your family is in my prayers.
