To all of the Wheaton Family,
Even though the time between my visits have been far apart, I always felt welcomed at your home and that was a triubute to you and your family.

I probably would never have told Eileen how much I admired both of her sisters when we were growing up. But especially Amy and if not in words but by action. She did influence my decision to go to Depaul. I figured if it did not break her spirit, it could not break mine. She gave me all sorts of hints to survive DePaul.

In talking to my parents, my sister referred to Amy as the fun babysitter. Apparently one time, she gave everyone gum. Karen woke up the next day with it in her hair.

I will remember the fun, mischevious Amy.

And I will remember all of you in my prayers

Amy was a beautiful person in every way imaginable. It was an honor to work with her. She was funny, always had a bright smile, and was loved by everyone at Lee Memorial in Ft. Myers,Fl. We miss her very much and will always love her- she will stay in our hearts forever.

Amy, I will miss you so much. Your smile, your ability to always see the brighter side of any glum situation. Your friendship was priceless. At least now you are finally at peace, something which as well as I, you always strived for. Selfishly, I wish G-d hadn't taken you away from us so soon! My thoughts and prayers are with your family and especially your children who surely knew how lucky they were to have you as their Mother. My only regret was that once you moved to Ft. Myers we lost touch with each other. I will always love you and miss you! This world has suffered a great loss, because you brought so much good to this world! Love, Sandy

I will always have a smile when I remeber the days Amy and I worked together at Chesapeake General. She found humor in everything. And that was just the beginning of a wonderful friendship. We were pregnant at the same time with our first child, our greeting was to bump bellies. Amy was such a ray of sunshine in ALL situations. She taught me much! I am so sorry for your loss. I will be praying for all of you and asking God to hold you close to His heart and give you peace.

To Amy's Family: I had the pleasure of working with Amy at Lee Memorial Hospital in Fort Myers, Florida. Amy posessed a unique quality not found in many people. I can safely say that Amy was kind and good to everyone she came in contact with. I never once heard Amy say anything negative or cruel about anyone. I will miss her kind heart and joyous laughter. I'm so sorry for your loss. Sincerely, Roxanne Porter

Dear Uncle Bob, Aunt Birdie, Kathy, Eileen & family, Tom, and Amy's children and granddaughter: I can only imagine your heartache. I have nothing but wonderful childhood memories of growing up with Amy (and all). I will never forget when she took me for a "ride" down "the mountain" in her VW, when we were about 15 yrs old. She was so full of fun and adventure - I always wished that I could be like her! I'm sure that if we had continued to grow up together we would have stayed the very best of friends. I will be praying for you and thinking of you during this painful time. I'm sure you will find comfort in knowing that there are many loving arms to greet her in heaven. (I'm sure my dad will be watching out for her!) Love to you all & God Bless.

To Amy's family. We (my family and I) had the honor meeting Amy last September when she found herself in need of a babysitter for her beautiful grandaughter, Cassidy Marie. A mutual friend connected us, and our lives are forever enriched for the experience. Amy was one the most generous individuals I have ever encountered. She loved and cared for her family in a way you rarely see. I can only imagine the extreme sense of loss you must all be feeling. She spoke lovingly of her parents, sister, and of her children Brody, Brooke, and Seth often. Amy's dedication to a loving home for Cassidy was paramount, and my heart breaks for Cass most of all. She has lost a genuine guardian angel in her grandmother. Sincerest sympathy to you all, please find comfort in all the good that was Amy. We love you forever Cassidy! Brooke, if there is anything we can do for you please don't hesitate to ask.
The Barajas Family

I would like to express my condolences for the loss of your loved one. Death delivers such a blow to the surviving friends and family. There are really no words that can take the sting away. Comfort is possible through fond memories and strong faith in God's promise to see your Amy again. Revelation 20:13

To Amy's family. I was in nursing school with Amy at DePaul. She was such a joy to know. I will always remember her beautiful smile. You are in my heart and my prayers. May you find some comfort in the days ahead. We will all miss Amy and she will never be forgotten by "the class of 1973".
