Dear Nancy and Tim, My thoughts and prayers go out to you during this difficult time. I have memories of Amy as a baby in my class at Good Sheperd. It sounds like she was a remarkable girl. Your love for her showed through and you gave her a wonderful life. Our special angels always touch so many lives. Jesus is holding her close. May your faith sustain you. God Bless, LuAnn Walsh

Dear Larocque Family,

My deepest sympathy to all of you. Having interacted on several occasions with Amy during lunch at Andrew, it was obvious how much of a loving, caring and thoughtful influence her family had on her. I distinctly remember her strong sense of pride and accomplishment when turning in Service hours. She was a remarkable young lady and it is a great loss to the VJA family. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you. God Bless You all!!

Dear Nancy, Tim and Bradley,

Our son, Kevin had a very special friend at Andrew High School's Ultima Program. Amy enjoyed reading to Kevin, listening to music with him and watching over him. My most precious memory of the two was watching Amy feed Kevin pizza at a party. What great care she give him! Amy's spirit will live on as she continues to watch over Kevin from heaven above.

Amy touched our lives and the lives of all who knew her. Our prayers are with you and your family. May God bless you and wrap His loving arms around you for comfort.

With our deepest sympathy,

The Douglas' (Roger,Janet & Kevin)

Mr. and Mrs. Larocque,
one of my first memories of the PEOPEL program was Amy coming up to me and asking if i like the Jonas brothers and Hannah Montana. She was one of the sweetest people i have ever had the pleasure of meeting. She knew how to light up a room with her smile. She will be deeply missed! My prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Larocque,
Amy was an incredible person! She was always putting a smile on my face whenever she sang Hannah Montana. She was always in a cheerful mood. Amy taught me a lot when I was in the PEOPEL program. One of them was to never give up; she was always determinded to complete something which I thought was amazing. Amy will be missed by many. My prayers are with you and your family. I pray that God will bring peace and comfort through the days ahead.
