Not sure what to say?

My deepest Sympathy on the loss of Amy!! I always enjoyed her laugh and smiles!!

We are very sorry for loosing our dear Amy just like we lost our beloved son Bihari. We miss you.

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.

She was always a thoughtful, cheerful person. A very special girl, she will be thought of and missed by many. May God bless her and welcome her. Carol

I was so sorry to read about Amy's passing. I remember so many of the funny and nice stories Sharon would share with us of Amy and all her adventures and achievements in life. Hoping you find peace and comfort in all the happy memories of Amy.










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. Ray and Karen Knoll

Condolences to the family from a cousin.

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...

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.
