My Dear Sweet Amy: I want to say that I will really miss your smile, your friendship and your sense of humor. I always looked up to you as a co-worker and a boss, I learned a lot from you when I was working at the Bureau of Reclamation. You are with your Lord and Savior and singing all of the beautiful songs that you wrote on earth. May the Lord be with you Becky, Connie and Nancy and Amy Dad (don't remember your name). God's Peace be with each of her family members and may his loving spirit surround each one of you.

To the Porter Family -
Since I moved from Las Vegas to Phoenix I lost touch with Amy. We had been very good friends. I just heard today from a mutual friend of the tragic loss of Amy. I am so sorry to hear about this - she was so beautiful inside and out and had such a wonderful sense of humor - I admired her for her success at Bureau of Reclamation.  I am so sorry that I did not know sooner but please accept this as my sincerest wish for your healing to continue.

I just found out today that you have left us on this earth. I've been thinking about you all day and how you were one of the few people who were always nice to me growing up. I will always remember you for that. Thank you! I hope you find the peace you need. May the angels wrap their arms around you and help you feel the love that you always showed to others.

Sweet child of mine, you've left me with the dubious task of going through all your mortal possessions. Each one brings back a memory: some good, some great, some happy, some sad. If I had a place to keep them all, I would. However, being unable to do that, instead I am left with a lifetime of memories. What I wouldn't give to hold you just one more time! The pain of your leaving goes on.

Some days, the pain of losing you feels new again. Today is one of those days. I miss you Amy.

My dear Amy, I can hardly think of any words to say, other than I miss you. I can still picture when I first met you nearly 24 years ago. Your humor, kindness, and gentleness were immediately evident. I knew then you would be a life long friend. I am forever blessed to have been your friend. My heart goes out to your family and all who love you and miss you as I do. Rest in peace sweet Amy

Amy sat next to me at many Diversity Team meetings and I admired the passion she had in her heart for what she believed in. I didn't know she played the piano but the music in her soul was evident. May knowing how many people admired, enjoyed and will now miss Amy help her family and friends at this very sad time. This tribute page is beautifully done - surely a comfort to many.

Amy, I couldn't imagine my high school years without you. Everything was more fun with you there. To this day, nobody has ever made me laugh more than you did back then! You made a difference in my life that I will always remember and be grateful for. I will miss you, sweet friend. Love you always!

Amy, my friend, my co-worker, my mentor!!! I will miss you so much I can't even describe the pain. I will miss our trips to Casa Flores for Mexican Pizza, our seaches for the latest handbag and our special talks. I hope you can now find the peace you were seaching for. I love you and will miss you forever.

Gone too soon. I think of the poem "The Dash". Especially the part that says the dash presents all the time you spent on earth and only those who loved you know what that little line is worth.
This is written by Linda Ellis. You will be missed, I hope you will find peace at last.

I don't have the words to describe the pain or the hole in my heart that cannot be repaired. Sweet child of mine, you were a gift from God, and I am indeed grateful to have been given the privilege of being your mother for these last 43 years. I can only imagine the despair and pain you must have felt in your search for peace. May you find it now in the arms of a loving creator. xoxoxo

Must have called a thousand times...

25 - Hello

Recently, I had a dream about Amy. I don't dream of her much and the significance isn't in the content of the dream but the timing. It is too ironic not to share.
The morning after my dream, I was watching the news and heard that Adele's new album was to be released that day. Amy was a huge fan of Adele and there isn't a time that I hear Adele's voice that I don't think of Amy.  So I ordered the album. Once the music had downloaded, the first song to come on was titled "Hello". Most of you have heard the song and from what my sister, Becky, tells me, it is played way too much on the radio.  I don't listen to the radio much so this song played to my ears and heart for the first time that morning. As I listened to the words, I couldn't help but believe that I was the recipient of a spiritual gift. I am so thankful for God's timing -God is great if we only listen ! 

A year without Amy

Her Story Scenes From A Lifetime - I Can Only Imagine

It's approaching one year since the loss of my sister, Amy. I've often heard people say that the first year of grief is the hardest; passing holidays, birthdays, family events all without a member of the family that has always been there. Though miles separated us and we didn't get to enjoy the company of one another during a lot of these celebrations, she was only a phone call or a text away. I can't count the number of times that I wanted to tell her something or ask her advice on something only to be reminded that I couldn't do that any longer. Or the times that I would be on the phone with my other sister, Becky, and almost included Amy in the conversation as if she was still here. It's the little things that hurt the most. We prepare ourselves the best we can to deal with her absence from Thanksgiving, Birthdays, Christmas, etc.; we can't prepare ourselves for the 'little things' that come up that violently shake our consciousness into the reality of her passing.

I know my surviving family has dealt with feelings of guilt, anger, despair, and regret that have been overwhelming. I, too, have feelings of regret. I regret that I didn't listen harder to the signs that were there; I regret that I put my 'busyness' before her; I regret that I didn't cherish her the way that she did me. I know these things now. And I believe that through loss there is gain. I believe that we are all shaped by our life experiences and in that, we become stronger. The word 'Sister' is much more meaningful to me now and I don't look at any two sisters the same. I look at them and hope that they will always be close, watch out for each other, and most importantly, never take each other for granted.  This is true for any relationship. I thank God for this.

You waited until you were alone.
Death is a private thing.
You knew your last act
was to a different audience.

As it entered you --
oh how you must have danced!
curving toward God,
elegant and alone.

Dear one, what is it like?
Tell us! What is death?

Birth,
you say, your voice swathed in wings.
I am born in the endless beginning.
I am not, I am.

You start turning into us,
we who love you.
You weep in our sadness,
you laugh when we do
you great each moment fresh, when we do.

So may your gift of loving, enter our own
and be with us that way, forever.
