I am heartbroken at the loss of Amy. Her enthusiasm for teaching was a joy to witness, and I was blessed to spend many delightful evenings playing Bonko with her and our Brandon buddies. Amy will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
Sorry Marty and family for your loss Amy will be missed
Marty and family we were so sad to learn about Amy’s passing and know you will miss her presence. We loved meeting and spending time with you both in Orange Beach and will always think fondly of Amy. We remember her warm and welcoming personality. She was always ready to enjoy a glass of wine and watch a sunset, or take the dog out on the boat for a ride. She was a blessing. We will keep all of you in our prayers as we remember Amy fondly.
Carol and I will miss Amy’s smile. She was a blessing to all.
So very sorry Marty and Family for the loss of Amy. Her passing comes with so many mixed emotions. Prayers for all whom mourn Amy. She was a beautiful ray of sunshine. Meeting her for the first time at the “Land of Magic” steak house in Logan Montana was indeed a highlight in my and my wife’s lives. Marty you were truly blessed to find and marry Amy all those years ago. Your family will be in my prayers for many years to come and I will always remember her love of life and friendships.
Marty, I am so sorry to hear of Amy’s passing. I know the past several years have been difficult for you and your family as Amy battled her illness. I admire you for dedicating yourself to make sure that Amy was well taken care of. I know having your love and support meant the world to her. Our thoughts and prayers will continue for you and your family as you adjust to the changes ahead. We love you!

Marty and family, my heartfelt prayers goes out to each of you. When I would see Amy she always had that laugh about her. I will not forget the summer you all brought me some Red Snappers back from Florida. Marty you hang in there. Just seeing you two together, there was love there. RIP Amy
