I went to school and was on the same cheer squad as Amys sister Jessica. I also had the pleasure to know her fun, caring, loving mother and father. I had recently met Amy at Jessicas birthday party and from what I saw she was a great person just like everyone in their family. This a devestating tragety and I continue to prey for their family. Love you guys : )

i only wish that i could say
we shared more time along the way
i cant remember the last time that we saw each other face to face
but there are bits and peices of us running in circles at your house i will never erase.
not too long ago i would write to you,
and you would write to me too
we may not have had alot of time to share together,
but the times we did will last forever
nothing anyone can ever say or do
can ever explain why this happened to you.
but know that youll be in my heart
and the memories you left will never fall apart.
im sure that everyone that you know, will never let your memory go

Melanie, I feel so without words. I know that we did not get to be together as a family should but you are always in my thoughts and prayers. I sit now and think of the times that we were together and I wish it could still happen. Amy will always be in my heart and thoughts. She was a beautiful young woman who was taken away way to soon in our eyes but just remember, she is with god and is doing something that he has chosen her to do. She will always be with us! I love you and want you to know that I am here if you need to talk!

Melody, I hope you will remember me. I was your next door neighbor a few years ago on Fairway.Gayle any Timmy's mom. My heart is with your family. I can not even imagine your pain. But just know that God makes no mistakes. His love endures forever! We will rejoice again one day in Heaven with your angel, Amy. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family always! God Bless and Keep you.

You don't know me but I wanted to send you my prayers for peace in this awful time of your lives. I lost my beloved Grandson just a little over a month ago who also died tragically. He was the center of my heart, but I know that he is with God, just as your beloved Amy is and that I will see him again just as you will see Amy. However, knowing this doesn't always ease the pain, especially when the death seems so senseless. But time does heal our hearts. I will keep you in my prayers daily for peace that passeth understanding.
'Grieve not that it's over,
Smile that it happened.'

I remember Amy as a pretty teenager. Heaven has gained an Angel who will watch over her family forever. This is our Faith and it is our Hope. You are all in my prayers as you learn to live with your loss - please remember that she is always with you.

There are no words that can take your pain away. Melanie, Robert, Wayne, Kathy and Jessica take one day at time and each day remember something fun about Amy and know that she will live on in your hearts and memories. All of you have been and will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Wayne, Melanie and our entire extended family. Let us all hope that Amy's loss will not be in vain. May we all find solace & comfort in knowing that our family of guardian angels is that much stronger now that Amy has left us. Rest in peace Amy, until we meet again.

I worked with Amy at Chevy in Poway. She was always smiling, and always lit up any room she entered. My children thought she was so nice, and so pretty. They would say, "Oh, her nails are always so long and pretty." Amy will be very missed. Heaven's gain of an Angel, is definately our loss. Our condolences to her family.

I first met Amy in elementary school, we were close friends through high school. Amy has this Crazy, Fun, I dont care if you think Im wierd, Im going to have a good time, kinda personality. She always was cracking you up! I dont know how many times I busted up laughing because I couldnt believe what she had just said or done. She is the kind of friend that you loved to talk about your problems with because she could always get you lauging about them. You always knew she was there for you, no drama, no back stabbing caddy girl type of junk. She just loved her friends and loved to make them laugh. Amy lived life always with love and enthusiasm, thats why everyone loves her!
TO Wayne, Melanie, and Bob, I know there is no greater sorrow than that felt by a parent who has lost their child, there are no words to console the pain of your loss, but please know, Amy empacted so many people in life and continues to do so in her death. There is not a single person that knew and loved Amy, that would drink and drive, or let someone know drink and drive. At a time when so many of us are 22 or 23 thats a big issue. As tragic as her death is, it has made death real to kids who feel invinsable, it has brought awareness, that we need to protect innocent people, I wont let Amy be taken from us in vain and nither will any of her friends and loved ones.
If there is anything I can do, in any way, please let me know
To Amy
I miss your confidence, your enthusiasm, your humor. Im sad we didnt keep in touch and now its too late. I know your in Heaven kicking back tanning in some tropical paradise with angels. I know your living in heaven just as you lived on earth. On earth I hope we can make everything right for you, where the world failed you, much love until we can catch up on old times.....

I was a classmate and friend of Amy in high school. She was so kind, sweet, and genuine. She always had a smile on her face and never had a mean thing to say about anyone. I distinctly remember being on crutches for a month, and Amy would come find me daily to carry my backpack for me. That was the kind of sweet person she was. I'm deeply saddened that someone so young, vibrant, and full of life was taken so soon. My deepest condolences go to her family, friends, and everybody that was touched by the warmth eminating from her.

Amy was an amazing young girl, I can only imagine what a wonderful young woman she grew to be. I have thought of her often, and am so saddened by her death. Mel, Wayne, Jessica & Bob, I can't imagine the grief you must be feeling. Amy was a beautiful girl that was lost way too soon, in a way to tragic way. My thoughts and prayers will be with you, and Amy.
