I have only known Amy for the last few years, but I will always be grateful for having known her. She was so amazing. Her love for her family just radiated from her. Even if things were tough, she was always positive. She'd figure things out because that's what she did. Through setbacks or difficulties, she just never gave up. I also always admired how she pursued her passions. She knew what she valued and again, found a way to make it work. (Or started formulating a plan for how it might work better the NEXT time!)
Most of all, I remember the quiet joy with which she lived her life. She was genuinely happy for me if I had good news. She took joy in the ordinary extraordinary daily things of life--if the kids got good grades, if her master bedroom was almost done. She just enjoyed her life and the people in it.
I'm sorry that I'm missing the Celebration Service today as I wanted to tell R, T, V and the rest of her family how much I valued knowing her. She was such a bright presence in my life.
