Amy was a beautiful soul who always lifted up the vibe of any space she was in. I'm honered to be able to call her a friend. She will be deeply missed.

As a 1st cousin of Howard, separated by geography, I didn't get to know Amy very well. The entire family was blessed by knowing and loving her. I pray for God to comfort, heal and grant peace to her family and everyone who knew and loved her.

She will be so dearly missed. Heaven did get a beautiful angel tho. I know her spirit will be with all her loved ones. So proud of her, strongest, sweetest soul I've ever known.

Extending our sympathy to all who knew and loved Amy. May God wrap you all in his arms and give you strength.

Amy was a very special lady. She was full of love and gratitude. Her kind and positive outlook was inspiring. Amy was always dedicated to her family, evident by the love and pride she exuled. She certainly made a positive impact on everyone she met. Amy was truly loved and will be greatly missed. I pray for peace, comfort and hope for Amy's wonderful, amazing family and great friends.
