Rest in Peace, my sweet dear Amy. I´m so eternally grateful for the years I had you in my life.
Although I miss you dearly, I know you´ll always be with me... every beautiful sunset, each Amaryllis Belladonna that blooms, and whenever I think of anything even remotely French... you´ll be right there with me.

We knew the Splittberger family from our swimming days with the Visalia Vikings swim team. Amy lived with my family her senior year of high school because her parents moved to Fresno. It was so fun to have Amy as part of our family. I remember her fun spirit and laughter! She was so kind and had the best smile! I think she chose tennis instead of swimming. It was an honor knowing Amy. I´m sure she´ll be so missed by the many lives she touched!
Prayers for her family and friends!

Amy and I reconnected this last year after losing touch over the years. She was positive, hopeful and beautiful. She was especially excited about our dinner at Ovidios, sharing the happy memories of having lived so close to the restaurant. While I am saddened with her passing, I am grateful for the time we got to share our friendship again. Rest in peace Amy.
