Kelly, she was a good friend to John and I. We are so thankful she is no longer in pain. She was one tough cookie. She loved you and her grandkids so much. Her dream was to give you and your kids a wonderful home, she achieved that and so much more. There are memorial plaques in a garden at St. Francis Hospital for employees that have passed away. John is arranging to have Amy's name in that garden. We are unable to attend her memorial. Please know we are thinking of you and family with love, grieving as well for our loss of a good friend.
From the Heart John and Donna
