Dearest Rhonda, Jim, Jeff and Amys beloved husband and children, words may be of small solace to you now in the face of such overwhelming loss, but hopefully in time you will be able to look back and take comfort in knowing that so many share in your grief and pray for God to give you strength and ease your pain. May His loving kindness surround you all, and may Amy rest now in His eternal peace. ❤

I met Amy when RJ and Fiona were classmates with my great-nephew & niece. After a few McDonald's play dates, an apple orchard visit and the Arrowhead library book fairs, I felt like I had known her a long time. She always had a wonderful smile, kind words to share and a friendly wave at the carpool line. She will truly be missed. May God bless her family, especially her husband and children. May Amy be at peace in God's loving hands.
Much love & prayers,
Nancy & Tony Zagar
