Amy Bowles Wheaton

I have fond memories of Amy! She was an outstanding support to the Wilderness School. When I was struggling as a young director she would simply point out that she believed in me and guide me in a way only Amy could. Amy was the perfect boss at a very unique time in the history of the Wilderness School. I believe the School is here today because of her initial support. Happy Trails and thank you for all you have done for the youth of Connecticut.

My sincere condolences to the family, colleagues and friends of Dr. Wheaton. I served on the MXCC Foundation for several years and Dr. Wheaton was a true inspiration for me, and a face I always looked forward to seeing.

I was very impressed with her attention to detail and ability to slice through the clutter and go to the heart of an issue. When SHE said we could do something, it gave us confidence to make it happen. The world loses yet another special person. God Bless.

Dear Amy, you know how much you did for me and my family in accommodating our adoptions when no one would, in encouraging my further education, in challenging my mind, in basically forming my entire career. I'm glad I had a chance to tell you this at the farm but still have a hard time reconciling in my mind that you are no longer with us. What I do know is that in my mind you have been and will always be immortal. May you now rest in peace. My heart goes out to your family. May they...

Elizabeth, I am very sorry to read of your mom's passing. Ruik & I think of you often and smile of all the good times in North Guilford!!! Our prayers and thoughts are with you today.

Amy,
We may not have realized or appreciated it then but you influenced us all in so many positive ways and made us the people we are today. God bless.

Dear Sam and Elizabeth,
I am so sorry to learn of Amy's passing.
She was a wonderful women and caring person. Her love of you and your children was always part of our weekly talks. And I had to chuckle when I read how she enjoyed a clean house having had the pleasure of keeping the house clean for five years I know how true that was.
Peace be with you and your family
