I’m incredibly sad to see this news. I met Amy going into freshman year at UD and she was an incredibly sweet and loyal friend, and it sounds like she remained that way to her loved ones. No surprise she turned into one heck of a fighter in her battle. Terribly sorry for your loss.

Josie Gallello and Family,
I remember Amy fondly, when she worked a few summers at the PA Migrant Ed. summer campus program. Amy was a dedicated and a very passionate person she enjoyed working with migrant families and students. Her precious smile and her angelic kindness will stay in our hearts forever. I pray to God that he gives you and your family the peace and comfort during this difficult time. God is a merciful God, and he has Amy in a beautiful place another angel to add to his glory and power.
