3-11-2019 I just found out this morning
about Amy. I can’t believe it took me this long to realize I had not heard from Amy in a while, knowing she had been battling non hodgkins lymphoma. To say
my bad just doesn’t cut it.
Amy was a significant influence in my life and I am grateful for her friendship through the years. Thank you, Amy’s parents & sister, for raising such a strong and giving soul. Amy was brave, feisty, smart, adventurous, caring, and an amazing cook. Amy showed up.
If a picture says a thousand words, Amy’s pictures through the years spoke her love. Amy traveled - sometimes with folks and sometimes solo. Somewhere in our storage there are dozens of postcards from Amy from the time she went across the United States & back in her Saturn. Solo.

| Amy's Salsa Recipe found on 76th page of 1993 Vaughn Family Reunion Family Cookbook |
About twenty years or so ago, Amy shared her salsa recipe with me. I sent “Amy’s Salsa” recipe in for my husband’s 1993 family reunion cookbook. I remember one time Amy was visiting us I showed it to her, and she was glad to see it in there. If you’re a salsa fan, try Amy’s recipe (with fresh ingredients, preferably homegrown, like Amy did).
There’s an Amy-shaped empty spot in our lives now. Knowing Amy has gone to be with the Lord gives comfort. And I imagine time will ease the sorrow. I’m sending thoughts & prayers to Amy’s sister & nephews & parents. I am so very sorry for your loss.
