Two years has passed so quickly. I still think about you daily. My cat had kittens the day you passed, I named one Amy. Kinda weird but it’s just more of a reason for you to cross my mind and remind me of our friendship and all the memories we made growing up. I love you and miss you and I know you can’t see this but I hope somehow there’s some way in the universe that you can know that I’m always thinking of you and hoping you can know even after life that I miss you so much.

Missing you girl. You’re another year older today. How I miss your infectious laugh, and deep conversations. I still grieve and think about you and how I wish I could have met your baby. Love and miss you sweet lady.

I knew Amy back when we were both 15, maybe 16 at the time. She had a shaved head and we both were in a juvenile residential center together for about a year and a half. I’ll never forget the scars on her arms, and the pain we all Carried as young teens, stuck in a building with locked doors, without any family or friends, so we found family in each other. Back before we knew what adult problems were, and back before addictions, and all the obstacles we would face in the years to come. AJ had a huge smile, with that gap in her teeth that made her smile so memorable. She was always a friend that I knew “got it” when I would vent to her or check on each other. I hope she’s watching over us all, and I hope she’s at peace now because she definitely deserves it. Life dealt her a hard one, and I will always remember her as that 15 year old with the gap, shaved head, and square wire glasses that would quote invader zim with me. Love you AJ

Amy and I were in the same program in Richmond, UMFS. I remember the first time meeting her and we instantly became friends. So humble, kind, and full of insight. Talking to her was always a pleasure.
Through the years though we didn’t hang out every day, she knew she always had a friend in me and vice versa. There were good times, and bad times.
I wish so badly to pay my respects and find closure in her passing. So much more good I can say.
Condolences to her family, son, and friends.
Sending all the love and prayers.

One of the greatest people I ever meet. I did everything I could to support her emotionally and help her out if she needed food in hard times. I had a bad feeling when she stopped responding something had happened. Then I found this. Very sad

To my best friend,
We were young. U were 15 I was 16. We met in a locked down facility. The lives we lived were hard. We fought to stay above the drowning dark waters of this Atmosphere... we argued like sisters n made dumb mistakes. .. they say that hurt people hurt people but that's not who I'll remain... I remember your smile. It shined many of my days, I remember your tears fallin down your face... I remember our last conversation.. you cried in joy n pain so happy to see me but ready to leave this earth. You said if you were an angel things will be better bc you will no longer suffer here... I cried with you... holding my best friend... just holding on with you for our lives. Knowing deep down inside I too felt that vary pain... my last words were stay strong Amy, we can do this again but better, live for you n ur family, because we can make it better if we just push... I remember you smiling saying ok, I got you, n now I'm here, written this post because I wasn't back in one to say I love you or farewell my beautiful friend... I'm doing my best to ey there .. o give you my last kiss n hug if I can... right now tears are falling from the skies of my earthly eyes. Because this wasn't how this was supposed o end... We grew up saying things like we will never go out like that ... N in the end here we are fighting those vary struggls n vices... Damnit man... miss you girl... I'm hurting your gone but I'm happy your not in pain no more... You would have been happy o see me again n maybe I could have helped just like last time!! I will never forget you... u will always be in my heart...We will miss you so much amy ... I know I will... To my best friend... My dear Amy... Love

Amy and Caiti (lacamera) had plans to adopt me when I was in foster care at 16. They decorated my room beautifully made me feel at home showed to every court as the biggest support there. She was my mom. Unfortunately the courts denied them custody but that never stopped them from claiming me by choice and always loving me unconditionally. She showed me not everybody in my corner were out to get to me. Amy was loved by many but a few I see “mourning” the loss of her didn’t care about her when she was alive. People who kept her around to sustain their habits and then pushed her aside like she was nothing. Amy was truly amazing that some didn’t see that when she was alive and it hurts me even more that I see them present on her memorial page. I love you mom and I’ll always be greatful for everything you’ve done for me and ik your up there watching me and my children up above that you were looking forward to meet but that time didn’t come sooner than I wanted it to.
In response to "What act of kindness did you witness from Amy?"
