Dear Amy:

We so wish we weren’t making this donation. Yet at the same time it’s been an amazing and an inspiring thing to see how you have united a group of people nearly forty years after our commencement. It’s truly a testament to everything you brought to our little part of the world.

Through your many years, you never strayed from your commitment, generosity, and sacrifice to the people within and outside of your circle.
In a class that has succeeded on so many levels, you were one of our brightest, and the best of the best.

We hope this small gift reflects your spirit of giving, and we hope it inspires others the way you have inspired us.
We will remember you always, and always with love.
