Amy Rowland

Beautiful Amy remains a guiding force for all of us! She is our Angel.

I did not know Amy, but I came across an engraved river stone dedicated to her memory while visiting the natural cemetery at Holy Abbey Monastery in Virginia. I took a photo of it to share with my husband, as I have decided to be interred there when my time comes. I thought her loved ones might want to see it.

Amy was like the older sister to my children. We shared some wonderful memories over the years, especially when we lived in VA. I first met Mary Ann when Mary and my youngest son, Xavier were in Montessori preschool together. As our friendship grew and our families socialized, Amy was always the older and wiser member of the gang of 6 children who often played/hung out together. Wonderfully curious and a francophile "au coeur", Amy asked to take some French lessons from me for a time,...

Mike and I are so deeply saddened over the loss of dear Amy. I was both honored and blessed to be her godmother and have many special memories of her as the bright, sweet, loving and wonderful person she always was. The Christmas pictures of her beautiful family say everything. We will always hold her deeply in our hearts and send our thoughts and prayers to all of her loving family.

My first memory of Amy is the cute, smart, little girl I met in Silver Spring when she was about four or five. There are lots of other good memories from visits with Amy and her family in Newport News and in Arlington, when Mary Anne and the three girls would all cram into my small condo.

But the memory I will cherish most is of Amy as a beautiful young mother and wife who would always remember her mothers old friend at Christmas.

Every year I received a Christmas...

Amy was my precious niece who grew up to be a wonderful woman and an adoring mother. We will miss her terribly and we will keep her sweet family in our thoughts and in our prayers!

Amy was a happy,loving child! At the age of two years ,"We told her she had big beautiful brown eyes ! " She said, "No, they are black eyes!" We laughed hysterically! Amy grew into a lovely, beautiful woman! She had inner beauty inside and out! We were blessed to have her in our life! She was our niece!

I met Amy as a young girl during our wonderful yoga sessions at the familys home in Newport News & watched her progress through school, career, marriage & motherhood. Every year we received lively Christmas card with the girls picture. I am so sorry to learn that she is no longer with us. Our world is a better place for her having lived here. My sincerely sympathies to her living family.
