Amy was my godmother. She and her husband were wonderful to me as a child to adulthood. I used to babysit her kids on occasion. We lost touch when I moved to Az. May she rest in peace.

With Deepest Sympathy

Thinking of the family with deep and sincere sympathy for their loss. Yet, at the same time thinking of Amy and celebrating the wonderful joy we shared of her children and grandsons, Adam and Evan.
I cherish the memories we had talking of the gift God had given each of us being a grandparent to both the boys.
I am comforted in knowing she is resting in peace.
