My memories of Amy will be remembered through her daughter. I see the creativity inspired by Amy throughout Rachael's house.

The hospitality that was shown to many by Amy is evident in Rachael. Just like Amy's house was full of people and food, Rachael's house is also filled with friends, family and food. My son has the privlege of being married to Rachael and being one of the luckiest men alive, as was Kevin. My grandson had the privlege of spending some of his earlies months with Amy. Amy will be missed but her memories and traditions live on.

Such a wonderful lady. We are so sorry we were unable to make it to the funeral, but we listened to it all online. Kevin, you did such a marvelous tribute to your dear wife. We learned a lot of new things about her. Ian and Rachel, so wonderful to hear you share your stories and memories of your mom. Amy was our small group leader, our friend, mentor, exceptional hostess, and even fellow hockey parent, for many years. What a privilege to share our lives together. We have so many wonderful memories. She taught us so much about generosity, service, hospitality, and selflessness. While she resides now in the arms of Jesus, she is also with us each day in our memories and the stories we share. Our sincere condolences to you all. David, Julie and family.

My memories of Amy are all good ones! Ian's description of her in his tribute was so perfect and so fitting. This enthusiastic, nerdy music loving, creative, nostalgic, selfless, confident woman made a difference in the lives she touched. Amy could be counted on for a good story and easily captured the room's attention in her exuberant and passionate delivery. She lovingly welcomed the added sound effects and harmonious color provided by her ever faithful sidekick Kevin and it was not uncommon as a member of their audience to experience a well deserved side ache from laughing.. Her family was so clearly the center of her universe and she was so proud of her children, their talents, their choices and the amazing adults that they have become. Together she and Kevin have effectively nurtured human beings that will most certainly carry on her legacy of faith, community, and family.

I feel very blessed to have been part of Amy's story. I thank Kevin for bringing her into our lives. Together with our beloved dinner club, we have created many, many happy memories which we will cherish for ever. Hugs to Kevin, Ian, Rachael, Nick and Carter

Life is eternal, and love is immortal, and death is only a orizon; and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight. We never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. Despite the loss of the physical presence of Amy, we know that God has assigned her to watch over all of you throughout your life. Our hearts ache for your loss and we send our most sincere condolences. With hugs from Roxanne (Rocky) and Chris Torok

Dear Kevin, Rachel, Ian and Nick:

Our heartful sadness to hear of the passing of Amy. I was honored to have been friends and co-worker with Amy and always admired her strength , faith , love and caring . Amy was beautiful both inside and out.

Many open arms will be welcoming her into Heaven - some of the Munson and Stagg family members , friends and Joan and Rick.

Those of us on earth will try to walk in her footsteps to carry on the love and caring she gave to others - always with an infectious smile .

May your many happy memories and teachings carry you through the sad days ahead.

Prayers and Blessings,

Darlene and Tony Melusi.

I still have a hand carved small trinket box with a penny and a handwritten note from Amy in it. Amy gave this box to me when I graduated from high school in 1979. We had become "buddies ". This box sits on a table in my living room still today because it reminds me to smile always and to love deeply. When we last corresponded, I was greatly moved by her faith in the Lord and was very grateful that I knew her...I just wanted to go visit in person and give her a big hug! I know she will be greatly missed! May God bless her family and friends at this time of loss. ~ Linda Strange Logsdon - a high school friend

Dear Kevin, we are so sad at Amy's passing, but agree with your words, sooner than we know, we'll all be together again. Our tears will be forgotten in the light of His glory. May your hearts be comforted as we remember this season that Christ is risen and our hope is anchored securely in heaven. I don't think I've ever seen Amy without her smiling and a twinkle in her eyes. What a great lady she was. Your dear family will miss but will fill her space with even more love and loved ones.

Our care and prayers,

Cam and Barb Prefontaine

My husband Steve and I met Amy at her nephew Myles wedding. We clicked with her and Kevin right away. She had a kind, open and loving demeanor. We know that this loss will leave a hole in many hearts and hope that wonderful memories will sustain you as you grieve. It warms our hearts that she was a woman of faith and we take comfort in knowing she is at home and whole again with her Savior Jesus Christ. We extend love and prayers to all Amy’s family and friends. Steve and Ronda Ramsdell (DeKalb, Illinois)

Some of the best memories of my childhood were spent at Mrs. Amy’s! She was always there to make a grilled cheese sandwich or KD which was more than enjoyed by my brothers and I. I have a distinct memory of being so excited for her to show me The Little Mermaid 2 at her house when I was very young (as I wasn’t aware it existed)! Every small moment like that mattered to me as a child and I always felt kindness from her. I remember these moments so clearly and I am very grateful to have had such a positive influence in my life.
