    My thoughts and prayers are with you all in such a difficult time.. U can see Amy's beautiful eyes and smile in her children. I never knew Amy personally, but in passing in the stores seeing her smile or hearing someone speak of how wonderful and couragous she was is life changing. Here's alittle poem that has helped me threw the loss of many of my family members from cancer that someone once shared with ne, it has helped me threw hard times. Its called: what a day that will be.. What a day that will be, when my Jesus I shall see, when I look upon his face, the one who saves me by his grace, when he takes me by the hand, and leads me to the promise land, what a day glorious day, that will be.. As u picture Amy taking the lord hand and walking with him seeing her lovely smile. As she knows one day she will see her family again.

  13. I was introduced to your blog by my sister today. Amy's service is such a beautiful example for me. Sometimes I find myself complaining a bit about life, and your sweet Amy is a shining example of how to put things into an eternal perspective. Thank you for sharing your painful journey and beautiful testimonies. I am humbled today, and resolved to be less of a whiner baby in my own life.
