You will be deeply missed, Miss Amy, by all those who loved you; through good times and trying times, thick and thin times. The stars may shine a little brighter but the earth will feel a little more empty. I will especially miss that brilliant smile of yours. Thanks for fighting the good fight and showing the rest of us how it’s done. Love you, Amy but it is well with your soul and you are resting in God’s arms forever now.

I will never forget the days and nights we spent in the dorms our freshman year acting goofy. Amy’s smile is something I will always remember and cherish. She will be missed by so many.

My heart is broken at the loss of Amy. We watched each others kids grow. We shared happiness and heartbreak. I loved her like a sister. I’d give anything to talk to her again.
