The world is a better place for anyone who knew you. Always smiling, and loving to dance, always as though nobody was watching. And still giving even after your soul departed this earth. Thank you, Amy, for it all.

Amy was such a joy and inspiration! She loved to dance with us! Her smile was contagious. Shopping and fashion were her talents. She loved to "find" just the right outfits for all the different occasions she attended. We will miss her hugs and her love...........GOD surely has a very special place in heaven for this very special friend. For her family, Our prayers for peace and comfort are with you.

So many great memories from all the years as neighbors. Whether we were camping and she was peeking around for the ranger who she was fond of, or we were off on the city bus together to go take care of an errand- always a trooper, full of life, spunk and determination. I think we acted out the Nestea Iced Tea commercial as wanna be actors in her backyard pool a zillion times. The gymnastic performances on her backyard trampoline could have gathered a crowd. So many, many fond memories growing up together. Rest in peace, friend.
Such an incredible smile!

I had the amazing privilege of coaching Amy in Special Olympics basketball for years. When I would tease her, she would always say, "O coach". She was such a joy to be around. She would get excited when she would talk about her trips to Florida. I'm glad to have had her as one of the people that has made such a positive impact in my like. Amy's simile will be greatly missed by those that got the chance to know her.

My daughter was a housemate of Amy, I am a Green Bay Packer fan. Amy loved when I would come to the house when she was wearing her GBP pants. We would enjoy that connection. Amy was a delight! I will miss her. Jenny misses her a lot. Bless you, dear Amy.
