Mike, Kathy and Boys



Amelia is such a fun loving person. I know when we first came to your home many years ago to sign kids up for soccer there was this little girl all around. Later when soccer again brought us to your door many times, this same little person would invite us in to wait for Dad, or hurry and find mom. She would answer the phone with its Tony or Tony’s mom. She was just a treat and a fun to be around.



There are just not words that could express how our hearts feel for you all right now. I know she will always be in your hearts and stay with you forever as her stay here on earth was cut very short.



Deepest sympathy to all of you

Kathy & Family,

I just heard yesterday of your loss. I can't even comprehend the depth of feelings that you must be going through. Obviously, thoughts and prayers go out to you. I pray that you will find the way to cope with this tragedy.

I believe that those who go beyond before us are allowed to be guardian angles. I have had experiences which convince me this is so, and believe that you will come to feel this also.

I know Heavenly Father has a plan. I know families can be together forever. I know that He will comfort you in your deepest, darkest hours. I wish there were something I could do. Certainly if there is anything, please don't hesitate to let us know.

I am so sorry for your loss, it was always a joy seeing Amelia each week at her lessons (I believe since she was in the 7th grade). She was a real sweetheart with wonderful talents. She always seemed to pull miracles out of her hat no matter how difficult a piece might be. I will miss her deeply ... I only hope there are pianos in heaven. My thoghts and prayers are with you.
