I was so sorry to hear of your great loss. I remember you and Amy coming to see me when Frank was in BV rehab. What a beautiful woman she was. Such a pleasure to meet her. It was because of our special children we got to know each other. What a blessing. My prayers are with you and your family. Blessings. Mary Price

My Thoughts and Prayers are with the family and her friends. Amy will be missed dearly, I enjoyed interacting with Amy from car rides with her choice of music with the wind blowing through her hair to back rubs each time I went to visit her. Amy’s smile was contagious and she was always full of questions and a good conversations. I am very saddened that we have all lost such a wonderful woman.
