I was privileged to know amy for quite a few years after she first moved to Florida and I became her hairdresser and confidante. :) sadly, I haven't seen her since my daughter was born two years ago but I've always assumed I'd see her again. I will miss our many great conversations...she was a wonderful and thoughtful woman. My heart is heavy for her family and closest friends, particularly Sarah, Taylor and frosty. No mama ever wants to leave behind a child, it's one of our greatest fears. I send my deepest condolences to all of you, and hope that you can find peace during these days ahead.

Amy was a lovely person. I met her while she and Karlee were studying for a test during NP school. I knew then that Amy would make a fabulous nurse practitioner. My deepest sympathy goes out to her family and friends. Amy will be missed by many people including those whose lives she touched and those of the patients she never had the opportunity to touch. God bless and may she rest in peace. Nancy Dahl

Amy was and will forever be one of my very best friends. I had not known that we grew up together, but we did in Buffalo. I worked with her recently at Florida Hospital Carrollwood in the Cardiac Cath lab. Amy and I worked together for the past almost 2yrs. Amy was the most compassionate Nurse and Person that I had ever met and/or worked with. She had a Natural way of Giving.... She always talked calmly and with a Smile.. "So soft spoken." She and I always talked, many many evenings and into the night, while at work.. Always a pleasure and fun to work with.. Amy is missed and will Forever be in all her coworkers Hearts and Memories. To me, Amy, was a Strong Successful woman with So much to offer.. More than she realized, In our Department "She can Never be replaced" A Nurse and Person like Amy, only comes around Once in a Lifetime. Regarding the Girls (Her Daughters), We talked about our kids Often. Amy Always mentioned her daughters and spoke highly of them, She Loved them Wholeheartedly! Amy, is and always was my favorite Nurse to work with. I was given a Gift, A Special one, That being allowed to have Amy as my Friend. Forever in my Heart, Jerry Grabowski

I met Amy while in NP school as my classmate. She was a very smart and kind lady. We studied together with several other classmates and she was always so giving and special. Although I did not know Amy for a long period of time she was special to me. Her kind words, great smile and beautiful sense of humor I will always remember. Psalms 23:1-6 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. Rest in Peace my friend Darin Lastrapes

Part 1 of 2. I learned Mon. night that my sister had passed moments earlier. We're all devastated. I visited with he one month ago. I'm reminded of "A River Runs Through it" where the older son has to inform his parents of the youngest's death. When informed the father simply said "He was beautiful". I remember my sister that same simple way...she was beautiful.

Here is a picture I'd like to remember my little sister by. Keith Martin Saratoga, NY
