I was one of Amy's best friends from high school. We had a true and memorable friendship. Amy will always be forever in my heart. May the days to come be filled with loving memories to Amy's family, God Bless and keep you!

For each storm cloud there is a rainbow. For each shadow there is the sun. For each parting there is sweet memories when sorrow is done.
As a recent widow myself with 3 young girls, the absolute grief and dispair can become overwhelming, but know that with the love of family and friends that I know Amy has always surrounded herself with even during our days together in grade school & high school, each day will become a little more bearable. May beautiful memories give you strength during these difficult hours & know our prayers are with you and your family.

May God bless and keep you wrapped in his loving and comforting arms. Am very sorry for the loss that you are enduring. Amy was one of the sweetest, compassionate and loving people I ever had the pleasure to be friends with. We were friends in school and lost touch after that but she has often been in my thoughts and prayers. She was truly a beautiful person inside and out. To know her truly was your priviledge. I have often remembered the good times we shared together. She was always great at making you laugh and smile no matter what was going on in life. I have missed her friendship and look forward to our great reunion in heaven. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. She was absolutely without a doubt one of the most incredible people I have ever known. God bless and watch over you all. Again, I am terribly sorry.

May God bless Amy and her family who remains here on earth mourning the loss. My dearest sympathy goes out to her husband and children as I'm sure she was a great mother, wife and friend. I was friends with Amy from kindergarten on (starting at Jackson Elementary). We were 'best friends' one summer in elementary where we wrote to each other back and forth all summer (only having lived a few miles away from eachother). On behalf of the Lapel High School Class of 1988, we all will miss her and pray for her family in the coming weeks,months & years. "For I know the plans I have for you says the Lord...a future of hope and not of despair".Jeremiah 29:11 God has a future of hope for her husband and children. God bless the entire family.

I am a lucky person having known Amy. She had to be nothing more than a awesome mother and wife. I am sorry that she is gone, everyone that knew her will truly miss her. I graduated with Amy. She was a great person. I am sorry that I lost touch with her. My thoughts and prayers are with you all, her family.

Our deepest sympathies go out to Matt and his family. Although we were baseball family for just this past season, we came to know Amy and the wonderful, loving person that she was. May God give you strength during this difficult time.

My deepest sympathy to the family. I am a former classmate from Lapel class of '88. Amy was always such a sweet, sincere, honest and loving person. I'm sure she was very close to her family and a great mother. I was there when her sister passed away and on through graduation, but we lost track of each other. I'm so sorry for the family and wish you the best in this sad situation.
