I am profoundly saddened by Amy´s passing. Amy´s smile lit up a room. Her laughter was intoxicating. Her personality was vibrant! I was lucky to be her friend In high school and college. She made every experience more fun. We were close at a time where we were really figuring out the kind of women we wanted to become. That connection I will always hold dear. She and I met for dinner with our daughters a few years ago. I could see that Amy´s daughters were everything to her. It was wonderful that we could pick up like no time had passed. To Emma Kiersten, Jenna, Kathy and Joe, you are in my thoughts and prayers. To Amy, thank you for your friendship and the laughter and shenanigans that we shared. I look forward to the day that we meet again. I´ll be working on my dance moves... you know the song!
