To know her was to Love her!
I was blessed not only to know her but to have her as my aunt. Aunt Amy left a big impression on my life in many ways. To see the love and pride she had for her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren was so beautiful. This touched my heart and I always said I want to be like her. Aunt Amy was kind, loving, supportive. She always had kind words and incredible knowledge and Wisdom of (well the way I felt everything). I believe in angels and now I know she is one, watching over her family. Although you might be gone, I will always carry you with me in heart, I will love you forever and miss you always.
My Deepest Condolences to Marybeth, Cathy, Tom and family.
Love Carol

My Family sends their condolences to Amelia's Family. We knew Amelia from The Terraces. She was so proud of Marybeth for coming to entertain the residents. My Parents left the Terraces back in March but my Mother has always asked about her. I still visit with some of our Terraces Friends. Amelia and I were emailing over a year ago. She would take pictures with her iPad of my Dad in the parlor and email them to me. She had a kind soul and I enjoy our time together when I visited her. She is at peace now and with her dear husband. The Beatty's and Stacie Jones
