To the Overstreet Family,
I have some very fond memories of Amy as one of my cheerleaders when I first came to LHS. I used to call them my "roostas" because they were always "squawkin" about something(bad refs,this skirt is too short, do I have to wear this polo-blue or red tonight?, riding the bus with Mr. Pugh, boys,etc)The girls and I shed many a tear of joy and laughter. I haven't seen her since she graduated but I know even from when I knew her in high school that Amy turned out to be an incredible young lady. Words can not express how sorry I am to have lost such a wonderful person. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Amy was an amazing person! She was such fun to be around and was always the life of the party. Dewand and Karis were her life. She loved them both so much. My thoughts and prayers are with you guys! Ive been looking at pictures the past few days and Amy was always smiling and laughing. She used to sneak in our house and scare my son. When I told him what happened he said "Amy's not with Jesus mom... Shes hiding in the bathroom." I miss her so much but Ill never forget all the good times. Love you Amy

Amy was the happy kind of person that could brighten up a room just by walking in...looking at her pictures I can remember what her laugh sounded like, and what her voice was like, even though it's been so many years since we had actually seen each other...she will be greatly missed by many...
