Amy was truly an angel. She was a beautiful human inside and out. I admire her strength and fortitude as I never heard her complain about her illness in all the years I knew her. You will be missed sweet Amy! the Rogers

Words aren't enough to describe someone like Amy! She was the that someone that brought Grace-in-Motion to life! To say that she was all of this.....isn't even close to what she brought to others who were fortunate to know her! Considerate, thoughtful, giving, respectful, unselfish, beautiful and loving friend always doing for others...this was Amy! It is an honor to know her and to be considered her friend. We hold it more as an honor to be able to have that opportunity to see her on that sweet DAY again in God's Kingdom! We miss and love you Amy! -Marty & Edie McWilliams

We so much appreciated Amy's sincere conversation with our son when he was trying to choose which high school to attend. To him, it was a major life event and Amy took the time to bring logic and that wonderful motherly gift "compassion" to their conversation! She was extraordinary! We are blessed to have known her if for only a brief time.

Wehring and Novelli family,
I am so sad to hear of Amy's passing. I fondly remember days with her in Brenham during the summer at Gun & Rod. She was a sweet soul and I will be thinking about all of you.

I remember Amy's southern charm and her unfailing grace. She was a beautiful lady with a soft, friendly presence. Over the years I enjoyed my visits with Amy as she was a great conversationalist with a lovely sense of humor who offered me wonderful, much appreciated tips when I became a parent. Nicholas, Matthew and David I'm so very sorry for your loss.
