Stephanie and Butch & Gary-Amy was my very best friend since we were 12 years old. I am so sorry to hear about this loss! I will miss her and all her silly ways! I loved her friendship so much! She helped me raise my kids! My family will greatly miss her-especially me and my daughter, Molly! Molly loved Amy and her beanie baby collection!

I am so sorry to hear of Amy's passing. We worked together in the nursery at Trinity United Methodist Church for 4 years. Her love for children was great and her love for her family was even greater. She talked often about her nieces and nephews and I felt as though I knew them well, even though I had never actually met them. I hope all of you find comfort in each other and in the memories of what a great person Amy was.
