Guestbook
Although we didn’t spend much time together, one couldn’t help but be drawn into her joy for life and compassionate and caring ways. Amy and Sara took beautiful wedding pictures for the weddings of our children, and then stayed and enjoyed the celebration.
One doesn’t know the length of time they will be here on earth but the important thing while here is to impact others. Amy did that beautifully. We take joy in having been priviliged to know her. Our thoughts, prayers and love go out to her loved ones.
I never met Amy but wanted to extend my sympathy to her family. My daughter Becky (43)was killed by a drunk driver in Feb. 2011 as she crossed a street in Madison. The pain is great. My prayers to her family as you go through this very difficult time.
My heart hurts from this loss. Amy was a wonderful caring person who always put others before herself. She was an angel on earth. I will miss her greatly. My heart goes out to her wonderful family, without their love and support, Amy would not have been the person she is and was. I send my love and support to those who need it most at this time.

I didn’t know Amy at all, but I have been following the story since I detoured on Afton Rd because of the accident on my way to a family gathering. Amy’s family and friends have been in my thoughts since Sunday afternoon. Rest in peace, Amy.
