You have our deepest sympathy. She was such a kind and caring lady. We have lots of fun memories hanging out at Amy’s house in high school. And we can’t forget their sweet dog Smokey that we would watch for them when they went on vacation and then we eventually “adopted” Smokey from them. Praying for you all during this difficult time.
