Amy's spirit and zest for life will live on in every person that she touched in her 46 years. She projected her amazing positive attitude and defined courage with every spoken word. Her kind hearted way was felt by all with her greeting of "Hey Buddy" and her infectious smile and excitement for every day.

I am very sad for future classes of kids who will not get to have you in their lives to teach, coach, and mentor them. I will never forget how much you did for me. Rest easy, buddy.

From the moment I meant Amy at Sharon and Jim's house I was taken in by her smile and engaging personality. I can certainly see how she affected so many people. She was one of a kind. ALL of the comments and words of sympathy written here are a true testament to who she was and what she stood for. Sharlene, Trevor; what can we say to take away your pain and sorrow? Nothing that has not already been said by all of us that feel your sorrow. No one can take away your memories with Amy of laughter, tears, celebration, hope, sadness and acceptance. Here's to you Amy! May you be at peace and free from pain.
