Amy Gallagher

Today a friend from high school paid a beautiful tribute to their good friend who passed away. As I took a closer look at this photo I suddenly realized that I too knew them. Although I didn't know Amy very well, I was blessed to have had a number of interactions w/ her in track at University High School. I was not that good at track but she made me feel like I belonged on the team. I know this tragic day happened back in 2007 but just wanted to write a quick note about her positive impact on...

Im so very sorry for everyones loss. When I found out what happened I couldn't believe it..in some ways I still can't but her memory and spirit will live forever. I met amy when I was only 8 years old and we became great friends and she was always there to make me smile. I think of her often and hope that one day fate brings us together again, my prayers and good wishes to her family and loved ones...A.G. Forever.

i still have amy's picture up where i can see her everyday. i will add my prayers to yours that you may find a peaceful place to settle until your path joins hers someday. a mother should never have to grieve for their child. i only met you at the orlando service but please accept my continued heartfelt caring. be strong tomorrow, let go of the anguish today. it will relieve the pressure for now. ami- chris kirks mom.

Dearest Amy,
It is now 2012 and still very difficult to face reality that I can't see you,talk to you or be your Mom. Time is still a blessing and a curse . You would tell me that in would be cathartic to write to you so I am.I miss sharing your earthly life with you and all the dreams,struggles and joy the you found in life. I don't go to the cemetery cause it's to hard to believe. This past fall was the most difficult . Can you pray for your mom that I can be light hearted and enjoy...

Dearsest Amy,
Not a day goes by without you appearing in my heart. Time moves quickly and then so slowly,that I can't wait to be reunited with you. You have two beautiful neices, that God has filled our lives up with and Blessed your sister Erin with motherhood. I had once written when I was a new mom the it took up a lot of emotions that weren't so positive like tiresome, aggravating and a couple of others like that but I remember the last line so meaningful "Like falling in Love...

Dearest Family and Friends,
I never had the privilege of knowing Amy directly.I have met a few of her close friends recently, and of course her wonderful, and beautiful mother, Anna, who characterizes Amy so well in her own walk through life.
While in Colorado, recently on the top of Long's Peak, I sat and prayed about how all of this came to be. I asked God to give me the guidance to help whomever, and wherever I could in this situation.
I believe that "the leaf doesn't...

Amy, you are missed. So many people got to know you during your short and full life. Family loved you dearly; your special smile and funny quick wit always made me anxious for your arrival at any family gathering.
You touched many; family, of course, school friend in High School, College and as a teacher. The photos that I was honored to see touched my heart and made me realize your wonderful personality, your kindness, your ability to make everyone feel at easy and blesse to have known...

The days come and go. Life as we each live it moves forward. Our minutes are filled with daily chores, family obligations and work responsibilities. At times, we tend to procrastinate, postpone or just put off doing certain things. We are planning holiday gatherings with family and friends. Some of us are looking ahead in both concern and cautious anticipation to the New Year.

Yes, Life continues for each of us and we get caught up in it. Carried along, riding the daily...
