  23. Lois,

    I met you in Mexico. I was there with my sister. Amy was such a beautiful lady and a strong fighter. She lit up talking about her little ones and talked about how they were counting the “sleeps” until she came home. I am praying for you, her dad, her husband and little ones and family. I am feeling this impact from Colorado USA and remembering your dear Amy. May God comfort your hearts at this time. My heart is hurting with you.

    She was an energetic and lively part of our Trentham Restaurant family, where she first met Adrian.
    Beautiful inside and out. Lit up a room with her smile.
