Joe and sons - I am so happy that I met Amy. Such a beautiful and nice woman. One of our first meetings was at Donah and Chuck's wedding where we all worked together preparing for their special day. We will miss her at their future parties, but will always remember her with fondness. Knowing that she is no longer in pain is comforting.

Joe Jake and Zach,
You may not remember us, The Eckleys, from West Deptford but we remember Amy so fondly She and I began our special ed careers at St John of God many years ago and then crossed paths again when Amy became our daughter Liz s teacher at Oakview We again met up with your wonderful family during Mantua soccer when Derek played with Zach. Our heartfelt condolences to all of you Amy was always so kind to all of us and I was so grateful to have crossed her paths over the years. May God grant you all peace of mind and heart I would love to donate some children's books in her honor if someone would let me know how to do that, she will be missed, no words can make it better just know I am thinking of all of you.
With sympathy,
Paul and Linda Eckley and family
