I went to graduate school with Amy at Purdue. She was so beautiful, so kind, so smart, and so much fun to be around. The world lost one of the best! Eternal rest grant to her, O Lord.

I am so sad. i was literally just talking to my boys about Amy last week sharing a memory with them of picking her up in a limo on my birthday.
Ruth, i will never forget how you faithfully picked me and others up every morning in eighth grade to take us to st Augustine to take Algebra. I so looked forward to those rides each morning, especially when i got to set next to amy in the front seat ;-). so many memories. Amy always challenged me in school. she was so smart. i forgot until i read this that we were only one day a part in age. please pardon my rambling, just really sad.
my heart aches for you and all of Amys family. 💔

I wish I could have been present with you for Amy's funeral. Please know that I have been thinking about you all and praying for you. My heart has just been so heavy since I heard about her passing late on Sunday. It's just not fair. My only source of consolation, and I hope you can find some in it too, is knowing how much of a bright spot she was in my life and in the lives of so many others.

I am sorry to hear of Amy's passing. I wasn't particularly close to Amy during my time at Loras, though we were in a few shows together, but I was always impressed by how kind and friendly she was. This was too soon and I am sorry. Please accept my condolences.

I met Amy my freshman year of college @Loras (her senior year). She was an integral part in me becoming the person I am today. While we grew apart as we grew older, she was never far my thoughts. I am stunned, & saddened, to hear this news. If she was able to make that much of an impact on me in just the short time I knew her, I can only imagine the impact she has made since then to everyone she has touched. You all have my condolences.

I had the privilege of being a schoolmate of Amy's through middle and high school and she one of the kindest hearts that I have ever encountered, even to this day. I know the love she held for her family was tremendous and will create a void felt by many. I wish all of Amy's loved ones peace in time.
