Amy was my second cousin and one of the most remarkable women a little girl could have had to look up to. From seeing her perform on stage like a celebrity- as if we had our very own Disney princess in the family- to her wholesome nature letting 5 year old me "marry" her in my garage when she was visiting with her boyfriend decades ago. I am so blessed that Amy helped to imprint who I am as a person and as a role model to my own nieces, a bar that I will forever be trying to reach. To me, I will always remember Amy through the same eyes I did as a child, with absolute awe and adoration.

Amy was my pilates instructor for a number of years. My duet partner, Maria, and I just loved her. Amy was so gentle and kind. She loved crafts and knitting and ballet. One of the best things about her was her laugh. She would giggle and it was just the sweetest. The world needs more kind souls like dear Amy. May she rest in peace and may her memory be eternal. My deepest condolences to Amy's parents, sister and the entire family.
