HER FAMILY

Amy is survived by three children-her son, Isaiahs, and her two daughters, Karess and Ciara-each one bringing her extraordinary joy. She is also survived by her grandmother Luz Machado, her mother Vilma Deshaies (Jeff), three brothers-Richard, Alvin, and JT-an aunt Lillian Alvarado (Dioris), cousins-Mike, Eddie, and Jason-and nieces and nephews-Jayda, Michelle, Addyson, Angel, and Ania.

HER CAREER

Amy took great pride in working with Mr. Henry Howell III at The Eminent Domain Litigation Group as a paralegal/case manager. It brought her satisfaction knowing that through her work she was able to help people.

HER LIFE

Amy's most valued relationship was with her heavenly father, Jehovah. She delighted in sharing the good news found in the Bible with others.

Amy appreciated the smell of a fragrant flower, the scent of a burning candle, enjoyed a good laugh (or cry) from watching a romantic comedy, and used any reason to dance to good music. You might have found her on a road trip to the mountains singing along to some Keith Urban, or cuddled up on the sofa with her furry pups, Cali and Reef, watching TV, snacking on chips with jalapeno Frito dip and sipping a glass of wine. And yet, she would, without hesitation, drop it all to go help a friend in need.

Amy demonstrated strength and courage when confronted with personal challenges and serious health issues-always handling herself with grace. Yet, she refused to be defined by those challenges and continued to seek out the best for herself and her children.

HER FUTURE

Amy believed in Jehovah God's promises for a brighter, happier future on a paradise Earth. We can all take comfort in knowing we will see her again.
