We were so sad to hear this news. We bought our first home from Earl and Shareen in El Centro, Ca 15 years ago. We happen to see Amy's beautiful picture and we read the name. We couldn't believe the connection to us. We are now in Virginia. You are all in our prayers.

I did not know Amy personally, but somehow I feel a bond.. I am also an OT (work in Los Gatos), and my daughter's name is Amy Louise as well. I lost my mom as a child and miss her to this day. My heart goes out to her family and I SO wish I could hug her two beautiful children. My biggest fear in life is leaving my kids without a mother. And to Amy's mom... God bless and i hope you can somehow keep the faith that you will be reunited with your lovely daughter one day. I will always treat strangers with kindness, as you never know what they're going through in life..
