Condolences & Memories (14 entries)

• James and Glenna. We just heard today of Amy's death. Please accept our condolences. We remember when you first brought her home as new parents. You wanted to be and do the best for your little girl. The early years of figuring out how enzymes worked and how to pummel her chest to get the best results involved lots of learning. So glad to hear you had 24 richly rewarding years with her. Bruce and Sharon - Posted by: Sharon and Bruce Bain (Former neighbor) on: Oct 31, 2018

• Glenna and James ... and all of your families: I am so sorry. Nothing I say can comfort you, I know. I feel as if I knew Amy, from what has been written here ... what a lovely person she was. Thank you for sharing Amy with the world. Hugs. - Posted by: Elizabeth Bonnett (Auntie Grace and Uncle Jim) (extended family) on: Jul 23, 2018

• My deepest condolences, James and Glenna, on the passing of your Amy. I remember meeting her when she was but 9 years old at our Mets games and at Grapes afterward. She would often devour whatever food was placed in front of her and was highly energized. Her drive even at that age was incredible. She seemed, indeed, to live life beyond the fullest and was a very bright light, no matter the circumstances placed in front of her. I learned quite a bit about CF after meeting her, knowing next to nothing beforehand. Her legacy will live on for many decades to come. Take care, James and Glenna, and hold close your very fond memories of her. - Posted by: Stephen Berg (Acquaintance of James) on: Jul 17, 2018

• I will always remember how adored Amy was by her parents. I remember how tireless Glenna and James championed in the CF Community bringing awareness, fundraising and advocacy for not only Amy but all those living with CF. I remember our kids meeting at one CF Breath of Life golf tournament where our son asked for Amy’s phone number, and being the protective and wise parents that you are, alerted us to the dangers of cross contamination. We are so sorry to hear that Amy’s valiant efforts in waiting for a cure did not happen within her life time. We share in your sadness, the Smith Family - Posted by: Debbie Smith and Family (CF Community) on: Jul 17, 2018

• James and family, so sorry to hear of your loss. We share your pain, having lost our son just 18 months ago at 34. I was hoping to see you at the walk in Winnipeg this year as I attended with Peter’s wife. It is a sorrowful path we walk. Your daughter sounds like a true gem who will be sorely missed.

• I only got to share in parts of Amy's life in her first 7 years while I lived in Winnipeg. James and Glenna would bring her to the slo-pitch games, our family BBQs, etc. Amy would light up the table with her smile and her willingness to try anything, including those sour lemon wedges. I got to teach her a high five with some flair when she was as young as 4. I am so happy that Amy got to meet my family back in the summer of 2012 when we had a stopover in Winnipeg on our way to Edmonton. That really meant a lot to me that she took the time to drop by that "old guy's" party. Amy you were a joy to be around even for the short time I spent with you. You're spirit will live on within us all. John Parker and family. - Posted by: John Parker (Friend) on: Jul 16, 2018

• I was very sad when I heard the news of Amy's passing. She had a way of lighting up a room and bringing positivity wherever she went. I enjoyed our many coffee breaks or outdoor duty together. There was an easiness about her I felt we could talk so freely. I will miss your smile and your presence. I am lucky to have called you my friend. Breathe easy my friend I will miss you so! - Posted by: Joanna McMaster (Co-worker and friend ) on: Jul 16, 2018

• I remember Amy fondly as a student in a few of the classes I worked in as an educational assistant at Oak Park. Amy was a sweet, smart, beautiful, determined young lady. She lit up the room with her smile and could carry on conversations as a 16 year old better than many adults I knew. I mostly remember her as a strong, resilient girl who I knew would persevere through any of life’s challenges. I am so sad to hear of her passing. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends. - Posted by: Michelle Sparrow (Former EA) on: Jul 16, 2018

• Amy was very friendly. You would have never known she was having a bad day because there was always a beautiful smile on her face. She always had such a positive attitude and just a bright light to her. I first met her at JB Mitchell and then a couple years later again at LR. She was passionate about a lot of things - you could tell by the way she talked about them and the twinkle in her eyes as she spoke. Amy, thank you for being a friend and someone I could talk to. Rest easy and breathe freely. - Posted by: Kayla (Friend and coworker (JB Mitchell And LR)) on: Jul 16, 2018

• I remember this cute little blue-eyed child coming to our slo pitch games. Amy was quiet, respectful and so cute. I'm so sorry for your loss! Be secure in the knowledge that she is lighting up heaven with her radiance. - Posted by: David Jones (Friend) on: Jul 15, 2018

• Miss Glenna: I saw the picture and Amy’s name and knew right away that this was about about your little girl. Instant tears for your loss. Violet & Rick Hiebert - Posted by: Violet Hiebert (Friend (former co-worker)) on: Jul 15, 2018

• She was such a strong and positive young woman. She will be sadly missed but never forgotten. Amy always brought life to everyone and everything she came into contact with. We love you and miss you terribly. Breathe easy my sweet angel, breathe easy💜 - Posted by: Kirsty Kozie (Friend and Co worker from JB and LR) on: Jul 14, 2018

• I am so saddened by the passing of your beautiful and sweet Amy, She was a brave young lady and I will always think of her going through the room at the Troy Westwood passing out roses to everyone with a brave smile on her face. We all loved her!! My heart and prayers go out to you all. - Posted by: marcey manchulenko (friend) on: Jul 14, 2018
