We don't always understand why God works the way He does but one thing we do know that Amya is now in the hands of a loving God and he will take very good care of Amya and one day we can be with her. The choice is ours. Family sorry for your lost.

To my little precious Baby Amya, I love you so much and miss you so much. I will cherish forever the memories of holding you in the hospital, singing to you "pretty precious" and praying with you..with your big beautiful eyes looking right at me as I prayed or sang. Amya you were on Earth to carry out a mission from GOD. I love you. Wendi, I love you too and want you to know I AM HERE FOR YOU. Hazel and Joan I know this is so hard for you all. You were there thru all of this. To Rodney's mother that raised him, I am glad you got the opportunity to see Precious Amya. My prayers go out to the whole family. God is in Control....and we all know that God truly has an angel.

Love always,
