I'm shocked. I worked with her at CSS and remained good friends with her after she quit. I had intended to call her but was involved in a car wreck in August and haven't had time to do much since then. I feel bad I didn't I didn't know she passed. RIP AMY

I never knew Amy, but have seen photos of her with her loving extended family & I know they loved her so much. Every person is unique, & made in the Father’s image, & no-one can replace Amy. May her memory live on in her friends’ & family’s hearts forever. She is now able to worship her God & Saviour in Spirit & in Truth. With love & prayers from Michael & Pilla (England)

Amy was more than just a friend, she was my little sister, too! We had so many good memories over the years! I was honored and blessed to be there for the birth of all three kiddos. They are all special to me and I will always call them my nieces and nephew. I can’t even imagine how hard this is for them right now, but I know that God will see them through this, along with all of Amy’s family and friends! RIP my friend, we will see each other again!
