March 9th “Grandma Amy” (that was the name all generations in the family called her.) celebrated her100th birthday surrounded by many family and friends. Some traveled well over 1000 miles to share the joy.

Shortly after her birthday The Lord called for her to join her mom, dad, siblings and Wayne. We comforted her and told her, “It was Ok to go and we will miss you.”  She passed peacefully at Sunshine Christian Home with her family at her side.

She will be remembered for her Kindness, Faith, Endearing Laugh, and LOVE of family.
