Dear Amy, I remember you as a little bundle of joy when I saw you in the hospital. Your Mom and Dad were so proud to have you in their lives. You were such a beautiful thoughtful little girl and it continued into adulthood. Terry, George, Casey and Blair, I am thinking of you and praying that you will find strength to go on without her. She truly was a wonderful person.

Oh, my gosh! This is such a tragedy. I feel for you, Chavez family. I was just thinking about Amy the other day during my French class and what a bright and happy student Amy was.
My hear goes out to you all. I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved child. I can’t even imagine what that must feel like. God bless you all.
Avis Rost says
Amy, A beautiful young woman who left this world way too soon. But God wanted and needed you in Heaven more than we needed you here on Earth. Though we will miss you , we know you are no longer in pain, and it would have been selfish for us to keep you here. Our hearts ache, but our souls feel a sense of peace for you sweet lady. You will be a beautiful angel sitting on God’s golden throne.
To Amy’s family, I can only imagine how you must feel, and empathize with you. I have known Blair for a very long time, she is like another daughter to me. I always felt like I knew Amy fairly well, your whole family as well. You cannot meet any of you anywhere without a Hi and a visit. Know that you are always in my prayers and if there is anything else I can do for you just let me know. My thoughts and prayers continue for Terri, and the rest of you. May God send his Angels down to comfort you all. Please continue to believe God is in Control and He Loves you. I love you all too. God Bless you
