Hi mom, It's been a while since I have written on here. I have talked to you not through here but through different prayers I say or even if I just need to get something off my chest at the moment I always search for guidance that you always tend to give me. I am now a freshman in college and I am on the bowling team. I recently got a job as a student ambassador. I would have to say that recently I have been doing great in what I am doing. As I keep going through the rest of my semester I am going to keep you extra close to my heart like I have been doing for a while. I miss you and love you lots.

In Memory of ANYSUE 7-14-2007
A thousand times we needed you
A thousand times we cried
If love alone could have saved you
you never would have died
A heart of gold stopped beating
two twinkling eyes closed to rest
God broke our hearts to prove he only took the best
never a day goes by that you're not in my heart and my sole

Four years has passed since you left us
Four years of sadness and pain
Four years of wishing we had the chance to bring us all back together again
They say time is a healer
In time the pain becomes easier to bear
But the pain we feel in our hearts is still, and always will be there
Your up in heaven now
Up there with your friends
Up with the angels
Away from it all
You left us your ray of sunshine
Two little ones to have and hold
Two beautiful girls called chase & Mykenzi
With hair so soft and gold
Your face we see daily
A reminder of how beautiful you were
Your smile warmth with charisma
Is everything of you we see in her

When You Died
When you died my whole World came crashing down
On us I see you in my dreams, Everywhere I look are the
Memories of you It's been (3) three long years, but It still feels like yesterday That I lost you forever. I blamed myself, but I learned That God needed you more than we did, but why then? I've been wishing I was dead for a long time now, so I can join you up in heaven, is it really that?
Beautiful? Happy Birthday Amy ,R.I.P. Amy*

Hey Aim how are you? I can't believe its been 3 years today. Our girls are gettin so big and so smart, you would be very very proud. Chase looks and acts just like you which makes me very happy and very sad at the same time. They ask about you all the time and all I can do is pray I have the right answers. We send balloons and letters to you all the time, I hope you enjoy them. And please keep looking down on our girls. I hope you're as proud of them as I am

A child born to a mother and father,
A tiny and beautiful baby daughter.
A gift sent from our Father above,
One to cherish with unconditional love.
Watching her grow day by day,
Brushing a tear when hurt in play.
Tickling toes to make her giggle,
Sitting in church, "you mustn't wiggle"
From child to teen, what a ride!
Showing her love from deep inside.
The dating game was sure to begin,
Her choice or ours - we didn't win.
Her wadding day came, a beauty for sure.
So young, so beautiful with friends galore.
It didn't take long for a family to grow.
More love for nanny and grumpy, you know.
Her life just began when illness came,
Hurt and angry - who could we blame?
Doctors to doctors, no hope did they say?
Resentment we felt when she was taken away.
Time passes quickly, pain always there.
Burt Heavenly Father we know that you care.
Take care of our daughter each and every day.
That's what we ask as we daily pray.
We remember our girl in our mind's eye,
Someday we will have the answer to why.
We are trying to heal with hearts that are true,
We miss you and over you our sweet AmySue.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

I will never forget Amy. She was so full of life. In every picture she was in she always had a big smile on her face. Even though she has passed on, I can never believe her spirit will not continue to stay will everyone she knew and touched. Amy was unique and touched many people. Everyone she came in contact with was a better person for knowing her and sharing in her life. I know it happened with me and several of the mechanics who got to know her at Kramer. I will cherish the friendship I had with Amy and I will hold on to her memory and the fact that I was blessed by knowing her for the rest of my life.

I was very upset when I heard of Amy's struggle and her passing. She lived with me for three years and became like a daughter to me. Her beautiful smile and those huge eyes that laughed and spoke to you from across the room. We shared many happy memories in those years and was helpful to me in many ways. Amy will be missed by many people and she touched many in her brief life here on earth. She will be in the heavens looking down on us and wrapping her arms around her family with love. My prayers will be offered to her family to have strength to deal with her loss. I will always remember her in my heart.

Beer & Clifford families,
Amy and I used to be friends years ago when we were teenagers. I had no idea she had been ill and just stubmled across this horrible news today. It's ironic, I was just telling a story about Amy this past Saturday. I often thought about Amy and the great times we had when I'd drive down Tabor Rd.
Please accept my sincere condolences in your time of grief.
