Jeff and family,
Kelly and I just learned this news last night; our hearts are broken. Amy was a light in our lives. Her love, her laugh and inimitable joy touched each of us in a very special and sweet way. We know that her very brief time on this earth not only enriched our family, but all those with whom she came in contact. We are here to support you in any way, every way we can.
With deepest sympathy,
Neil, Kelly, Tyler and Mackenzie Hediger

Dear Mr and Mrs Courtney / Jeff
Peter, Stuart and I are devastated. She was our rock in times of our loss of Michael. She helped us in so many ways. I attribute Peter and Stuart's successes to Amy. She was so much more than their caregiver. I hope to share her memory with Virgina and Andrew, and let my beach home become their destination away from home. I can think of little else but how we all lost with her passing.

Amy and Beth were such am integral and joyful part of our lives. Amy's sunshine smile and her ever-bright spirit made us all laugh. Though it has been many, many years that girl has never been forgotten. Your loss must be unspeakable but know that you are loved - as then also now. Much love to you, Beth, Nancy, and Dick.

I am so sorry and sad to hear about Amy's passing. Amy was such a special friend, college roomie, and Alpha Gam sister, and she brought so much joy into my life and to everyone she met. Her laugh and amazing smile, as well as her ability to make any situation an interesting and memorable one, are just a few of the many reasons why Amy will be deeply missed. My family and I are praying for you Jeff, Andrew, and Virginia, as well as for your families. God bless you always.

Jeff, Andrew, and Virginia, I am truly sorry to hear about the passing of Amy your wife and mother. You and your family are in mine and my families prayers. She was a college friend of mine, and we lived in the same dorm/hallway. She was the highlight of our hall, full of smiles, jokes, laughter, and overall great friend. I was happy that I got to run into her at a girl scout function not too long ago. I will cherish that. She will be missed. May God Be With You All!

Jeff,
Amy touched so many lives in such a positive way. She was Room mom for Virginia and Anna's preschool
class. I will never forget the Christmas craft she made with the class. Then, she headed Fun with Faith. Next, she carpooled the girls to Kindergarten camp. Not to mention, she worked so hard as a co-troop leader for Girl Scouts. That was just the beginning of getting to know her. She was truly a blessing in everyone's life. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
