Keeping you and the entire family in our prayers.

Amy, you were the best sister and Aunt anyone could ask for. You were always so thoughtful, loving and made us all laugh. I will miss your smile so much. You loved Jenni and Kimmie as if they were your own. You brought joy to everyone who knew you and you lived life to the fullest. RIP sweet sister.

Murdock family–we were so saddened to hear of Amy’s passing. She was a sweet lady, great mom, and ardent Bulldog fan! When I told Elli about it, she immediately recalled her bell at the football games and how nice she was. Seems so long ago–time sure flies, we never have enough of it, do we? We will all keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Hope you find peace and comfort in your days ahead.

I have such fond memories of Matt and Nate in my second grade class at Allegan St. Elementary School. That is when I met Amy, and Don. She was so sweet, fun and encouraging. She was your biggest cheer leader! She leaves wonderful legacy and will be deeply missed.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
