I grew up with my two older cousins Mikey S and Mikey B, spending many years sled riding on New Year´s Day at Mikey S´s home and playing in the basement of Mikey B´s every Christmas Eve. We all admired Mikey B´s heart of Gold, still apparent while living with his daily struggles. We all loved Amy and how obvious her love for him was as she brought out the best in him throughout what must have been overwhelming trials. She carried his cross. She live her life for him. I am sure Amy´s encounter upon reaching the pearly gate was the warmth of Our Lord´s smile and His embrace, followed by His loving words, "Well done, My faithful servant". Rest now and forever more, we will always remember you with a smile. Joe and Cathy Spirnak

Thoughts and prayers for Amy's family and friends. I was friends with Amy and Misti at Rupert dog park. Amy loved life here in The Villages. She was shy, but after a few talks in the dog park we hit it off. I admired Amy for her strength and Determination to fight cancer. She was a real trooper. She would say I'm just taking this one day at a time. I will miss Amy! I pray her sweet Misti and her cats have found good homes.

Aunt Amy was always so supportive to me and my sisters for our whole life and I´m so thankful for all the beautiful memories that we shared together. I will always remember her smile and all the fun family times that we shared with so many cookie bakes, summers together, and visiting with her in the Villages. We love and miss her so much.
