Jeff, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your wife, Amy. I did not know her but from all the tributes, she was a truly lovely woman. You probably do not remember me though I did know your brother Pete and sister Linda and your very special Mom. Your Dad and my Mom were siblings. I will be praying for you and your family. Your cousin.

Such a great person, Amy had such a big heart and was committed to making a real difference in the lives of everyone especially children.
Amy was an early pioneer 25 years ago as she combined the convenience and needed function of a daycare along with the early childhood development of a preschool. She provided every child with the same love and attention that she gave her own. There are a lot people in this world that are better people because they knew Amy.
Our thoughts are with you and your families.
