I remember Amy from way back - when my grandmother Caroline was alive and we would spend time at her sister Katherine's beach house in Edgewater, MD. Their brother Fred would come over with his wife Amy. And their other brother Charles with his wife Amelia, and their brother William with his wife Angela. Amy was so fun, so lively, and glamorous. Amy and Fred visited us when we moved to Maine and their visit meant so much to us. She gave me good advice and even though it wasn't what I wanted to hear, she was right and it helped me. I am a lucky person to have had her in my life - because we all could use an Amy in our life once in a while.

Fritz Man I am thinking of you in this time of your loss as are the rest of my family. Your mother had a long wonderful life. Remember all the happy moments with Mom and the entire family she shared them with. Love Kim and all of your family at Cunningham's.

Fritz & Clare,

I know this time is difficult for both of you and as much as I'd hoped to be there to pay one final tribute to Amy, instead I wanted to take this time to pass on as many good thoughts as I could about this grand lady. Over the some 20+ years that I came to know your mother, part of me has to be somewhat astounded, but of course appreciative, of the kindness that Amy has shown towards me throughout the time that she's known me. As I think back to all the stories I've heard her tell, my thoughts bring me back the many family gatherings. While other family members were off in other rooms conversing, I recall all the times of her and I and just sitting on the couch having long talks….. sometimes about current events, but mostly I was impressed of how sharp her mind was about all the past events in her life which pretty much continued even as she progressed into her 90's. She would at one point get you intrigued with her long tales of her past adventures, and at a moments notice, she'd provide a quick antidote that would make me laugh like crazy.

My fondest and most recent memory of Amy was right before we had to move my Aunt Elsie from Riderwood down here to Florida in August of 2012, as I ended up having dinner with the group that Amy usually had dinner with each night. It was so nice to see that this group included my aunt who always talked about how great a person that Amy was and that she was glad to be her friend while at Riderwood. As this turned out to be the final time that they would all have dinner together, it was so nice to sit next to Amy and have her make me feel like one of the gang during the entire dinner. However, that was only part of the evening, as Amy asked me if I wanted to help her back to her room so she could show me her room. I told my sister to go ahead and take my aunt back to her room and that I'd just be about 15 minutes. By the time I had a chance to look at my watch, Amy had shown me her living quarters, had me look at all of the pictures she had scattered around her room, and after having sit down to talk some more, a full hour had gone by. I'd even got a call from my sister asking if I was ever going to leave.

I guess to wrap this up, I can merely say that Amy had a gift of making everyone that she liked feel really good and I'm very honored to have been one of those many lucky people to have experienced her vast kindness and to that aspect she will ever be remembered as one special lady in my eyes !!

Amy lived in the same building at Riderwood Village as my aunt Elsie Beth Rutledge. I now know that my aunt was placed in that very same building for a reason. I got to know Amy and visit often with her when I would be there for meals at Riderwood. She was a funny, classy lady and she so loved her family. I feel blessed to have known her. To the entire Miller family, my deepest sympathy to you all.
