Amy was not only a wonderful daughter, she was a beautiful person inside and out. She was filled with so much love and never left without a hug and a kiss and an “I love you.” Our lives will never be the same without her beautiful smile and her ability to make you feel as if you were special and loved. She was our sunshine, our life. She loved music and being outdoors, especially on a four-wheeler. So in our effort to give Amy what she would want, we will have a memorial built by her “Poppa Bear,” so that she may spend her eternity at her happiest place to be. When the time is appropriate we will notify her friends so thay may share her love of nature.
