I’m Dale’s wife Joyce. I met Amy at the Gower Convalscent Center several years ago. We became friends and I talked alot with Amy. We talked on the phone about twice a day and had a good laugh. She was a very pretty girl and did not complain about her pain until these later years. 21 years is along time to have MS. When I had to stop driving Dale started taking us up to see her. Amy seemed like a Daughter to me and I am missing her so much but I know that she is not suffering with pain anymore and that is good. We love you Amy.

I remember Amy Jo eating fries and a chocolate-covered wafer in the cafeteria of Benton High School. She liked to play tennis, she was fun to be around and she wore her hair in a spiral perm. I hated to see Amy Jo in her infirm condition. I hope that her parents and sister Angee receive comfort in their time of grief. Prayers for her family!
