Mark,

We just found out via the UND alumni about Amy's passing. We were so shocked and saddened. Bailee is now attending UND and is in the marching band, we were hoping to get together with you sometime this Fall. You and your children are in our prayers. Amy was the first person I met at UND, she was always so positive and so much fun to be with! If it wasn't for the two of you, Joel and I would have never gotten together. She will be missed.

I just want to offer my condolences to you all. I also went to school with Amy, and have many great memories of her, going back at least 35 years. Please know that your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Mark, Brianna & Brandon,

I was a classmate of Amy's. I remember Amy as a person who liked to joke and have fun with her friends. Although I have not kept in touch with Amy though the years, the memories of our childhood are very clear to me. I was very saddened to hear of her death. I wanted to let you know that you are in our thoughts and prayers during this very sad time.

Mark, Brianna and Brandon-

We're so sorry for your loss. Amy has been my friend for more then 35 years. I have spent countless hours with her over those years - everything from running through a sprinkler to preparing for your wedding. I will miss her and think of her often. She was a true friend.

We were so sad to hear about Amy. It was fun to reconnect again after 20 years and awesome to find that our daughters would become best friends. Mark, you've been so strong but I know it's still a hard road. We'll take the kids if you need to run an errand or need some time on your own. See you Friday.

Dear Mark, Brianna, Brandon, and Family: There is so much I could say and so memories I could talk about, but there is not enough room in this guest book to do that. I know first hand what you are going through. This will be an extremely difficult time for you, but your family and friends will be there just waiting to help you. You will also soon realize that you are stronger than you ever thought you could be. Amy was a true friend. When Fred died, she was always just "a phone call away." She kept me positive and gave me hope for the future. She helped me through many sad days and nights. Please remember I am also "just a phone call away." I will be there for you every step of the way. I have great comfort in knowing that Amy was greeted by many wonderful angels in heaven. Who knows, maybe Fred will even get her to start to appreciate the game of golf! I will see all of you on Friday.

Dear Mark, Brianna and Brandon,



Amy and I were classmates at Fergus Falls. I also have a first memory of being intimidated by her at the sixth grade track meet. She was the fastest girl in town! She was a wonderful, happy person that I know will be missed by many, especially you. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Dear Mark, Brianna, and Brandon,

My condolences on the loss of your lovely Wife and Mother. The first time I ever saw Amy was at our 6th grade track meet in Fergus Falls, all the schools participated in the annual event. I remember thinking "Wow, she's fast!" I was..not fast, so I kind of awed at those who were so talented.

In the halls of our high school, your Mom always seemed to have a spring in her step, and a smile on her face. God's strength to you in your coming days.

With Warmth

Mark, and family

I am very saddened by your sudden loss. My prayers are with you. I was stunned when Doris called to let me know of Amy's sudden death. Although I am not very close to any cousins, I do remember your presence at my mother's funeral in 1994 and your wheeling your father in to lead the procession. It was very important to her that all her godchildren were a part of her funeral. My thoughts are with you and your family, Mark.
