Fondly, Susan,Jeff,Jill & Jamie Peiper SUSAN, JEFF, JILL & JAMIE PEIPER, APRIL 11, 2011 Sheri, Don: I never met Amy but I know through my sister Susan (Spindler), that she was a bright, lovely woman...like her Mom. This is heartbreaking. It has been a long and horrendously trying time; no one can imagine what you've experienced. I wish I could send hugs - long and tight hugs and an absorbent shoulder. May God give you solace in some way...soon. Love, Barbara BARBARA PODOR, APRIL 10, 2011 I was boarding a plane last Sunday, and for some reason I broke the line and went back to get a news paper. I sat down, and in the metro section I saw a beautiful picture of Amy. It took me by surprise and I was very sad, I thought of you Don, Sheri, Chris, and Mike. I knew the sadness I was feeling was minimal compared to the pain you must be feeling. I was fortunate to meet Amy at UNT where we formed a friendship with many fond memories; Amy will always be in my heart and prayers. God bless you all. PAUL KENNETH VAVRA, APRIL 10, 2011 "Many lovely things are destined to be with us for only a certain period of time. We know the beauties of nature have their time and their season. We cannot

3 hold them even if we would. Flowers come into new bud and reach their glorious bloom, but they must pass out of our lives in the season of frost. Yet we are richer for having seen them, touched them, and enjoyed their fragrance. How much more rewarding, then, is the life of a loved one who leaves a heritage of loving memories with us that can never die. And how truly and wisely it has been said, "God gave us memory so that we might have roses in December." - Jean Kyler McManus God bless you and your precious family, Love and hugs, and prayers, Lisa Kern LISA ANN KERN, APRIL 9, 2011 I am so sorry and deeply saddened for your loss. I went to middle and high school with Amy and haven't seen her in years...but a FB post from a mutual friend led me here. Despite the years that have passed, high school memories still come back and I can hear her voice and her laughter and see her smile. Amy and her family and friends are in our prayers up here in Ohio. Peace be with you all. ~Deborah L. Corpus DEBORAH LIU CORPUS, APRIL 9, 2011 I will always remember in January, how beautiful Amy looked in the yellow sweater as she lifted her Champaign glass up to toast the successes she had worked so hard to accomplish through this cancer battle. Most amazing is that behind the beautiful smile and delicate frame was a very strong woman with perseverance to endure the many hardships in order to live and enjoy life. Cheers to Amy! Love to all the Family, Melynda Swann MELYNDA SWANN, APRIL 8, 2011 We will always remember Amy's sweet,sweet smile. She was truly a special person.

4 LOUISE E. SELLERS, APRIL 8, 2011 I never had the pleasure of meeting Amy, but I did become friends with her over the phone (thanks to Patty Williams, who introduced us!. I had the wonderful opportunity to talk with Amy over the past year about what she was going through, as I am fighting the exact type of cancer Amy fought... she was about 2 month ahead of me in treatments and I have to tell you what an encouragement she was, even when she wasn't having a "great" day, she just wanted to hear about my progress and any good news that I could share with her... I will miss my friend and am sorry that I never got to meet her in person! To her parents, she loved you both so much and she spoke about how much of a support system you were to her... bless you both! KELLY MESERVEY, APRIL 7, 2011 So sorry for your loss.

JIM & JEAN DEEDS, APRIL 3, 2011 Looking back at the memories of Amy I find myself wanting more. I am sure everyone that knew her feels the same. She was vibrant, self confident, and beautiful. Family memories are many, we laughed often of our families stories. Watching her grow up into the woman she became fill my memories with smiles. Dinners, parties, pool times, cookie exchange and just talking flood my mind. Our family has tons of these memories to carry with us, we know that she would not want us to hurt. I know she worried most about the people she would leave behind. But Amy you don't have to worry you gave us a lifetime of memories that we will laugh, cry, and talk about. Your family will carry on, as tough as it is to lose you, you are not lost. We will have you in our heart forever. Love you Amy Jane, Mrs C.

GREG AND SONYA BYERLY, APRIL 3, 2011 Amy, Words cant describe how much my heart hurts. I miss you so much and still feel you are very much here. I always said that if attitude alone could fight cancer, you would have never had it. You are the bravest woman I know. I don't think there will ever be a day that I don't miss you. You were like a sister to me, and I thank God for giving me the the beautiful years that he did. I love
