Dear Josh, I just finished reading your mother's book and I felt for her and you. I pray the Lord that you will have the courage, wisdom and peace to go on with life with your own family. You may be Jewish and I a Christian; however, we both believe in the same God. Have faith. You never know, one day, if she is still alive, Amy will find someone good enough to have her get back to her roots. Blessings and be joyful with your family for God is good. He will never leave nor forsake you. Remember the words from a song: "It is well with my soul!"

I am so very sorry for the loss of your mother Josh. I'm almost done reading the book and my heart has been breaking every page. I hope that someone somewhere will finally tell the truth about Amy's whereabouts. I can't believe it's been so long without any clue. May Susan and Ned finally have some peace. God bless your family

I've followed this story for years. Prayed that Amy would return to Susan and her family. I too have lung cancer from sarcoma and don't have that much time left. I at least hope to get the answer of what happened to Amy on my deathbed. So sad....

I just finished reading the book that your mother wrote and cannot begin to describe the feelings it left me with. I am a mother of two boys and I cannot imagine what your mother, your father and you, all went through. What an extraordinary family - holding together and loving each other through a very tragic event. Your mother was an incredibly strong woman and I hope that she has found her peace whereever she is now.

My heart goes out to susan billig and you josh..I saw this story on unsolved mysteries and read the book. I do not feel Amy is dead. I will look on my spare time on any info i can find out and see if now over time people will release info. I believe in your mothers legacy. I think about this and its such a mystery but i feel we shouldnt give up hope in trying to find new leads! I was born in 75' way off from the age group but i have plenty of years to continue in this search! Susan you are a hero to many, you never gave up hope!
October 16, 2010
Just finished her book about her search for Amy. What a courageous, amazing lady! The book tells her entire story and was captivating reading. I doubt many people would have been that brave. Condolences to the entire Billig family. Amy will not be forgotten.

As someone who spent time in Coconut Grove myself in the early seventies(I was only 12 in '74),I have a special place in my heart for the misery that Susan must have been thru.
I read articles of Susan searching over the years in local papers and always knew of the case for that reason.
I hope they all have found peace

courage à votre famille qui makgré le temps qui s'écoule ne desespere pas. Je suis certaine que l'issue de cette histoire sera positive et qu'amy vous sera rendu.

I left a previous message in this book but I feel compelled to write again.
I woke up in the middle of the nignt last night thinking about Amy and I couldn't get back to sleep for a while.
Even now, sometimes I still cry. I still think about her and about Sue and Ned and Josh and my heart aches for this family and I still pray for the whole family.
What brings me any comfort or relief at all is just the realization that this is just a stop-over. A temporal state of affairs. Gods promise to us will be fulfilled.
Josh, I hope God's promise brings you some relief as well. God bless you and I will continue to pray for you.

Amy was in my class in IS8 in NYC. I remember sitting next to her and she told that her family would be moving to Florida. I still have the year book with her picture in it. What a surprise when I saw Unsolved Mysteries and the story was about her. I remember her.

I have followed the tragedy of Amy's disappearance since I was a teenager. I have folllowed Sue in her search for Amy for decades. My heart has always been with her and my heart is still with Josh. I still think about Amy and Sue. I still think about Ned too. I pray for Josh and his family and I still cry and pray for Amy and probably always will.
I'm now 47 so her disappearance hit me pretty hard.
I know I'll meet your family some day on the other side and I will always remember you with love in my thoughts and prayers.

dear josh, I found this website, hoping to talk with your exceptional mother, after just reading Amy's story for the second time. My own daughter disappeared when she was 19 years old and it is incomprehensible to me that today she is 27 and I have no idea where she is or what her life might be. Our circumstances were different in that she was lost to drugs and initially disappeared because she wanted to, but I now must face the reality that I too may leave this earth without ever seeing her again. Your mother's courage and determination are who I wish I could be, but unfortunately my daughter was living in another state and simply vanished and I have never had a single clue as to the people she knew or where she might be now. Even in this day of the internet, I have been unable to find any activity on her social security # or name, although I have tried everything. I know how much she loved her family and sometimes I can't even believe this is my life. Her brother and sisters' hearts ache as I'm sure yours always has, and I only wish we all were able to devote the type of energy your mom did to finding her - - - but when you have nothing to go on, there's nothing you can do but pray and send all your love to wherever she might be. Not knowing is hell on earth!

I live in Kansas now, but I did live in Miami for many years. I just recently heard of Sue's death, and was heartbroken. I am not sure where she gathered the strength to live day after day with the unbelievable pain she must have felt. I have children myself, and I cannot begin to fathom what she went through. I hope that Sue has found peace again with Amy. Sue was a pillar of strength, a real example for us all to follow. God Bless you, Sue. I know the Lord has a special place for you in heaven.
Thank you,

Dear Josh,
Today my little sister, Oddy, emailed this site to me. I wish I had known of your mom's passing sooner so I could have written in a timely manner. My sister and have thought of you and your family often throughout the years, always hoping that you would find the closure and peace your mom and dad so diligently searched for.
Our time together at CGSH is always a treasured memory to me, you are a great guy (the best high-school sweetheart a girl could hope for!)and those were happy times. You showed such strength and maturity when this tragedy happened. I have been forever in awe of you and your parents too.
Losing someone you love and not knowing how or why would break most people. If I could be a fraction fo the mother your mom was, I would count myself amoung the best.
I just wanted you to know that there are many people out there (like our family) who have prayed and hoped for you and yours for a very long time.
I am happy that you have continued the Billig legacy with a family of your own. I know grandchildren must of brought much happiness to your folks.
God Bless You Always,
Carina Ortega Grasso, Lou (hubby), Louis (son 25), David (son 22) and Vanessa (daughter 20).

I read Susan's book years ago and it still haunts me knowning that no updates has been made. There were so many leads. Josh, your mother was a very strong and couragous person that I have ever heard of. I pray that you find answers. I know that your mother is looking out for you, as well the lord himself. God Bless You!

Still thinking of you Sue. I know you and Amy must be rejoicing your reunion. I will never forget you.
June 18, 2006
I just finished reading your book. I was frustrated just hearing everything that you went through! You are a very strong woman. Your son is an amazing man too. He had to endure so much and gave up what was supposed to be the best years of his life. Although you have found some closure, I hope that Amy comes up one way or another so that you know FACTS! With love from Oceanside, Ca.

To The Billig Family,
I don't know why I have always taken this story so personal,(I am not a parent and was not born when Amy vanished) but I have and I have empathized with you all since I first saw the story of Amy on Unsolved Mysteries. I have and will continue to pray for you,Susan,Amy,Amy's dad who died years ago, and for those who did any harm to Amy. To Susan, God Bless You! I hope that you Amy and your husband are reunited and will share a wonderful eternal life together! o any Parents with missing children please let Susan and her strength be an example of how you should never give up Hope. God Bless all!

Susan Billig stands as one of the best examples of human courage and fortitude ever. The fact that she never gave up hope that her daughter was alive and kept fighting to find her gives me hope for us all. God Bless you Sue, I`m sure you and Amy will be reunited in Heaven.

The epitome of a mother. Never giving up even when things looked hopeless. I hope my son looks at me the way in the way I am seeing Susan after reading her life story. With all my heart, I pray Susan and her daughter are finally together.

Amy's and Susan's story touched, and still touches, the hearts of parents everywhere. Deepest sympathies are extended to those left behind, from a father blessed with two daughters, one named very similarly to Amy.

To the Billig family,
I was deeply saddened to hear about the death of Susan. I recently read her book and it profoundly affected me. The disappearance of Amy has always captivated me, even though I was only five months old when it happened.
I think what touched me the most was her undying love for her daughter. I have been blessed with wonderful parents who would have also searched the ends of the earth for me, as Susan did for Amy.
I regret that she never received closure nor was she properly able to grieve for Amy. I believe they are together in heaven, with Ned, and Susan is finally at peace.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

I have always been a fan of Unsolved Mysteries. I remember seeing the segment with Amy Billig numerous times. I even read the book Without A Trace. I contend Susan for having a valiant fight until the end. She died still know ing in her heart that Amy was still alive.

I finished reading the book today. I just wanted to say that the love Susan Billig demonstrated by trying to find her missing daughter Amy, an on-going search that lasted 32 years of her life ...how monumental. Mrs. Billig has rekindled a fire of hope in me, helping to restore my faith that there is, indeed, still a golden thread of decency that continues to weave its way through our lives... helping to mend the broken society that we lived in yesterday, today, and all of our precious tomorrows.

Dear Billig family,
I saw this case on unsolved mysteries a while back. Many things happen in this life that sometimes we may never fully understand "Why".
But one thing IS true!! God knows everything and HE has ALL the answers!!! What I have done in the past has helped me, and what He's done for me, He will do for you also. Ask Him & trust His wisdom to show you the answers to these mysteries. you CAN trust Him!!! And He WILL give you peace in the process while He shows you the answers to these mysteries. He's just a prayer away...Trust Him!!

God bless the Billig family and to those who helped them all the way..

TO THE BILLIG FAMILY:
I TRULY FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART DO EXPRESS MY SINCEREST CONDOLENCES FOR MS. BILLIG. I DID SEE AMY'S STORY ON UNSOLVED MYSTERIES AND I DID READ THE BOOK, WITHOUT A TRACE AND I MUST SAY THAT SINCE THEN I HAVE THOUGHT OF MS. BILLIG FROM TIME TO TIME AND OCCASIONALLY LOOKED FOR ANY UPDATES WITH REGARD TO AMY'S CASE AND JUST NOW CAME ACROSS THE FACT THAT MS. BILLIG HAD PASSED ON. MS. BILLIG WAS TRULY A BRAVE AND COURAGOUS WOMAN AND I REALLY FEEL BAD THAT THERE WAS NEVER ANY CLOSURE BUT I AM GLAD THAT SHE IS NOW RESTING WITH HER HUSBAND IN HEAVEN AS THIS IS WHERE SHE DESERVES TO BE. TO THE REMAINDING BILLG RELATIVES JOSHUA BILLIG WIFE AND KIDS I REALLY SINCERELY HOPE THAT SOME DAY YOU FIND AMY OR FIND OUT THE TRUTH TO AMY'S WHERE ABOUTS. THE BILLIG FAMILY INCLUDING AMY AND SUSAN WILL REMAIN IN MY PRAYERS. GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU!!!

To Josh Billig and family,
I spoke to your mum before she passed away and even to you a little after her time came. My deepsest condolences to you and your wife and children. Susan was a courageous and amazing woman. I`m sad that you all still don`t have any closure regarding Amy. I hope one day that you do. It`s unfortunate that Susan and Ned both went on to the next life, without seeing Amy prior to that.
Amy`s story and Susan`s book blew me away. Not knowing where your child or family member is, aches.
Hopefully this mystery will get solved.
I wish Susan lots of peace and prayers, as well as to her late husband Ned.
To Josh and the family, I feel for you and send my condolences as I said. May you have the strength to go on and hopefully find your Amy soon.

Amy's story touched me in an inexplicable way- I am two years younger than her, and felt if I had known her, I would have been her friend. Sue's love is a powerful and mighty example of a mother's love. Her and Ned endured so much.
May all their memories be a blessing.

What a sad story and what anguish that this loving mother went through. This shows that woman have strength and great love for their children no matter what the circumstance and will stop at nothing for them.

I remember seeing Mrs. Billig on TV when she was searching for her daughter. Only another Mother who has a broken heart can completely understand her pain. I can't help but believe that she, her husband, and their daughter are now together. Her son sounds like a wonderful man, and my sympathy goes out to him.

My condolences to the family of Mrs. Susan Billig. I am very sorry that she had so much tragedy in her life. Maybe in life it was not meant for her to find out what happened to Amy, but I feel she now knows what happened to her daughter. I only hope that she and her husband are now at peace. What a determined woman and mother she was. God be with the family in this time of sorrow. God Bless you all.

NOW THIS.....WAS A MOTHER! ANY OTHER DEFINITION, PALES IN COMPARISION. MY HEART GOES OUT TO HER FAMILY. HER "FLAME", MAY HAVE BEEN UNTIMELY DIMMED, BUT TRUST ME IT WILL NEVER DIMININISH. SUCH A CHAMPION, SUCH A ROLE MODEL, SUCH A WARRIOR....WHAT A WONDERFUL AND DELIGHTFUL INDIVIDUAL. WE ALL SYMPATHIZE, BECAUSE OUR CHILDEN ARE A LEGACY, THAT ENDURE THROUGH COUNTLESS SETBACKS. THEY ARE THE BACKBONE, THAT MAKE ALL OUR EFFORTS AS PARENTS WORTH WHILE. MS. BILLING IS FINALLY "HOME", WHERE
HER SOJOURN WILL BE FULLY REWARDED.

Our family is very sad to hear this news of Susan Billig. We have been looking for our niece, Vivian Paola Montanez Castellanos since June 1988. She was only 22 months old when abducted in Cucuta, Colombia. We can relate to your family and what you have gone through. Peace and God's Love To You.
Kathleen Morris

She will be missed so much, it is so hard to believe she is gone. There will always be memories of her when we pass one her favorite resturants in the Grove.I will see her at "HER TABLE" holding court, sipping champagne or sharing a glass of wine or a meal with friends. This memory will make me smile when I think of her, which will be often.

I do not personally know Susan. I recently became aware of Susan and her long, ongoing search for her Amy. I came across her story on the internet while researching Missing Persons, due to the fact that My Mother, Summer Shipp, has been missing since December 8, 2004. I can only hope to have the same dedication and devotion and love that Susan has displayed for Amy. And I will, as Susan did, continue my search until I find answers, and also I will continue raising awareness of Missing Persons indefinitely. I look up to Susan as a role model. I believe, as she did, in listening to your heart and following it no matter where it takes you.

Though I never had the honour of meeting her in this life, her boundless love and tireless devotion to her family is a sterling testament to the most noble aspects of the human spirit.
Rest assured that she is now in the loving arms of the Creator and her loving memory will live on in your hearts and always bring you peace.

Josh: Our parents were dear, dear friends and I remember, as a child, the nightmare that unfolded before Ned, your Mom and yourself; I was only a child. My parents kept in touch with Sue through the years...and now, I feel so sad, that her fight to find Amy did not end in her personal knowledge of "knowing". May you find comfort in your memories, and know that many people are crying today.

Greetings,
Sorry to hear about your mom passing Josh, I can't recall if I ever met her personally but her face looks familiar to me. I found out from Stacy and I just wanted to offer you my deep sympathy at this time. My mom and dad have been gone now about 17 years, so I can relate to how you must be feeling now. I glad to hear that you are dad now, so at least your family legagcy lives on. I hope to see you again soon when I next come for a visit back to the grove. till then Happy Trails Brother.

I was so sorry to read of Mrs. Billig's passing. I followed her story for years and always hoped Amy would be found. I admired and respected Mrs. Billig's determination to never, never give up. May Mr. and Mrs. Billig and Amy rest in peace.

Dear Josh & family,
I wrote this poem when my own Amy was killed in a car accident at age 24 in 2001.
I offer it as a prayer for peace for your family.
The Angel
She has visited today.
She has come to you
on pillows of soft invisibility.
You know she is there.
You feel her presence
as solid as your own body.
You receive her gift.
She has left the softest kiss
of her immortality upon your heart,
her wings brushing against the hour.
In the wind.....you are uplifted.
The angel....she has visited today....
My deepest sympathy,
Linda Wilson

Hi Josh,
I am so sorry for your loss. I remember seeing your mom at my dad's memorial and the gathering afterward at Buffy and Dick Hart's (1986). Sue was such a dear lady. I have fond memories of your family and growing up in the Grove, going into Ned's studio, the art festivals, etc. She, Ned and Amy are all together now in peace.

Hi Josh,
The strength of your mother was more than that of an army.
May others see her as a beacon of light, and remember her fortitude.
God hold her.
