We pray that your cousin Ryan has his loving arms around you right now.
With found memories Sis you will be missed!!
Any you were one of my oldest friends. Your family was there at one of my darkest points in my life. Years went by before I was able to find you on fb.
I’m so blessed to have had you back in my life the last couple of years.
Fly high my dear friend.
Your friendship will never be forgotten.
She will be deeply missed by me and Robbie too. When I married Jamie I got a beautiful daughter and a best friend/sister for life. I love you Ames. Always and forever
We first met Amy @ Eaton , we worked together, we can attest to Amy being a hard worker & if she set her mind to do something , she would go for it , if she didn’t get it the first time , she didn’t stop, she kept @ it until she got it .. We went to Syndicate & who did we find there , Amy , she was hilarious , I liked break time , because we could always hear a story or two from her , she never bit her tongue saying what ever she had to say . We retired from Syndicate & lost touch with her ( occasionally seeing her in a store or getting gas) , she will be missed , R.I.P. Amy , you left a piece of you in everybody that knew you , whether it be good or bad. Amy , thanks for the memories , Helen & Larry Haley
I will miss you . I remember you from Syndicate Systems .. Not real well. I remember you most from facebook where we shared the same sense of humor and our undying love for animals. I would share your posts and you shared mine. I really miss getting on facebook and not seeing or laughing out loud at the posts of crazy animals doing crazy things….You were a really great friend and I miss you already….That last contact I had with you was the day before you passed. I asked you why you were in the hospital and you told me , you had trouble with your heart. I never dreamed I would never see you again on my webpage. Rest sweet lady.
All of us on third shift miss seeing you at work. For me your presence will always be felt. Thank you for teaching me many things at SMP. I will also miss talking with you when we were on our breaks. I’m sorry that the last thing we talked about was #2 and #3 boxes. I didn’t think that would be the last time we would talk.
Dont be sorry. Amy enjoyed talking and sharing. Every conversation is only important in that you connected, and obviously you did because you remember the conversation. Life would be totally perfect if it had a “back” button — wouldn’t it? Thank you for being a friend to my daughter.
