I was a friend of Amy during our single, young adult years. Enjoyed so many memories of going to dances, sports activities and good food and conversation together. She always showed a great smile and happiness to everyone.

I am so sorry to hear Amy had passed away. My deepest condolences go out to her family. I first met Amy when I entered fourth grade after moving from Mattapan. Her family was always nice to me. Amy loved life and her family.
