I never imagined I would be doing this... Since we were in 6th grade I've known Amy. And since high school we pretty much were inseparable, we did everything together through the years. She and I had many disagreements, sometimes we fought like sisters and were over it immediately, and other times it was more serious and we'd take a break from one another's lives to breathe... but we always, ALWAYS, made it back together. But that's what true friendship is all about, knowing how to make your way back to one another no matter the distance between you. It had been about five years since we last spoke, I will choose to believe Amy's salvation stands firm and when it is my time to depart this world, we will be reunited again. In the meantime, I find comfort in knowing she is finally free, happy, joyous and with Christ who forgives her of all those things she struggled so hard to forgive herself for.
Renee, Jim, Scott, Aussie, Nate and Carsyn, my heart is broken for each of you! Renee, Amy loved and appreciated you so much. She knew she had a gem of a mother and she was so proud of you as well. Austyn, Nate and Carsyn, your momma loved you so very much. I spent as much time with you all as I as I did at my own home for many years... We were all a big family. I love each one of you and will be praying for each of you in the coming days, weeks, months and years. Anything at all I can do, please, don't delay in asking. Much love,

You were too precious and beautiful to lose this soon. My kindergarten to high school to adulthood friend. My heart aches at knowing you are no longer here. Your laugh was so contagious. We grew up together. You were supposed to grow old and look as bad as me in our 60s. You were supposed to watch your grandbabies and children grow up. I will miss you terribly. Even though we haven't connected in this last little while, I will miss knowing you are there. I will miss your FB posts about Batdad and being your sarcastic self. I will missing knowing we can catch up and chat about our kids and what is going on in our lives. I will miss you my friend but I will see you again in Heaven one day. I love you girl. You were most definitely loved.
