Amy Kjaer Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Sep. 13 to Sep. 16, 2008.
KJAER _ Amy Jean April 10, 1987 - September 10, 2008 "The ones we love the dearest go home the soonest." It is with heartfelt sadness that we say goodbye to "our Amy" who passed away on Wednesday, September 10, 2008 at the tender age of 21 years. "A short path that ends in blue sky; New beginnings bring joy to the eye." Amy was born in Calgary on April 10, 1987. She graduated from Lord Beaverbrook Senior High School in 2005. Amy was excited to begin a new chapter of her life which included moving to Medicine Hat to her first apartment, and continuing her academic pursuits. She will always be remembered for her kindness, her gentle spirit, and for her love of animals, music, friends and family. Amy wholeheartedly loved her younger cousins, Cameron and Cole, who were like siblings to her. We know she will always keep a watchful eye out for them. Amy was also passionate about family pets, particularly her beloved "Wheatens", O'Malley and Meggy. Amy will be dearly missed by her parents, Mark Kjaer and Laura Jones (Mike Pears); Grandpa and Nana, Richard Jones and Bonnie Jones; Grandpa Ab Allen; and by her aunts and uncles, Tracy Jones and Wayne Andrew, Russell Jones, Lynn and Eric Rippe, and Paul Kjaer all of Calgary, Kim Sandbach of Guelph, ON, David Kjaer and Mary-Anne Malloy of Peterborough, ON; and by cousins, Cameron and Cole Rippe of Calgary, and Shaun (Katrina), Mike, and Eric Sandbach of Peterborough, ON. She will also be forever remembered by all of her extended family, schoolmates, friends, co-workers, and by all those who were touched by Amy's love. Amy was predeceased by her Grandpa Eric Kjaer, Grandma Betty Allen, and by her cousin Andrew Kjaer. A Celebration of Amy's Life will be held at McINNIS & HOLLOWAY'S Park Memorial Chapel (5008 Elbow Drive S.W.) on Wednesday, September 17, 2008 at 4:00 p.m. Forward condolences through www.mcinnisandholloway.com . If friends so desire, memorial tributes may be made directly to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, No. 204, 1608 - 17 Avenue S.W., Calgary, AB T2T 0E3 (Telephone 403-255-7100, www.jdfc.ca ). In living memory of Amy Kjaer, a tree will be planted at Fish Creek Provincial Park by McINNIS & HOLLOWAY FUNERAL HOMES, Park Memorial Chapel, 5008 ELBOW DRIVE S.W. Telephone: 403-243-8200.

I keep her in my prayers every night. My thoughts are with you all and never hesitate to call me...any time.

She was a light for so many, she was unique, compassionate, kind and full of life. She will always be remembered as a dedicated and thoughtful lady. She was a success in everything she did.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all, always. <3

Amy was one of the kindest people I had know going through school. She was quite and observant, yet when you talked to her goofy and outspoken, She will be missed.

Tommy and Kim Christensen

September 16, 2008

Dear Mark.

It is with great pain that Kim and I received the terrible terrible news that Amy has passed away.

My very firsts reaction was 'Oh no. Not Amy. This is not fair. Poor Mark.'

It seems so unfair when we as parents outlive our children and no words can ease the pain we feel initially.

I would like to offer you a word of advice in these tough times: talk to other about your thoughts, pains and sorrows. And to everyone else, please do not 'ignore' Mark because you find it hard to talk to him about Amy's death. It is a hard thing to talk about but it is the best way got get back on our feet again so let us all give Mark the support hen need and deserve.

Please know that Kim and I are here for you when you need someone to talk to; day and night.

Please receive our deepest sympathy for your lost.
