Our dear precious Amy:
So many years and awesome memories. You packed so much into these 57 years! You definitely left your beautiful mark in this world, it was a better place with your presence. It wasnt fair to have the health failing in the end and this dumb Covid making everything more difficult. I play that Celtic cd you gave me and feel youre here. Thanksgiving nights after everyone left; laughing (and a cocktail or two), staying up too late. Birthdays, holidays and weekends were all the more special. Then, Isla Mujeres and your favorite purply pink sunsetsnuff said! Our whole family enjoyed you! Well miss you and love you, see you later,
Greg & Dale
