Amy was a real go-getter! Much like my late mother-in-law, Marjorie Kinnan. They were friends through the Manatee AAUW and countless other organizations. I knew Amy mainly through Faith UMC. She loved the Island Library (in Holmes Beach) and her Big Oak at the entrance to Tanglewood, which she single-handedly saved from destruction.

My condolences to the family and friends of Ms. Hook. May you be comforted by looking forward to a time when all causes of death along with the heartaches it brings will be abolished forever.
