Amy was one of my favorite people. She was a wonderful neighbor and I have often missed her since she moved to Maine. I will always remember coming home to find her at a table in our sitting room at the Village, putting together her beloved puzzles and talking to her everyday. I think of her often when I pass her former apartment and truly miss seeing her. Peace be with you Amy. We remember you with affection and love. Our sincere sympathy to your family for your loss.

Amy and I became friendly when we decided to plant tomatoes and a few other things in front of her apartment. That summer we had no rain from spring util August so I was over every evening to water. When I was there Amy would come out and we’d talk about many things while the hose ran. We discovered we had much in common and I enjoyed her dry sense of humor. It went very well until the deer came and ate even the green tomatoes. I didn’t mind that much since I had found a wonderful friend. God bless you and your family.
