Sleeper Highland I i CARD OF THANKS THE FAMILY OF Amy Shelton Would like to thank all the individuals and groups who cared for Amy Shelton. When all my strength was taken, you gave us food, shelter, monetary support, and words that shared this loss. Your generosity is much appreciated.

There were so many hands reaching out to give strength when there was none and so many voices in prayer over our little Amy. There are a lot of things that can be said about what Amy will never experience but Amy touched many, many lives, and each face, each hand, each card, and every word lets me know that Amy had impact on her world. I now sit surrounded by so many beautiful arrangements, each one a tribute to the love and joy that Amy brought into this world.
