Posted by: angela at December 31, 2005 06:43 PM

MERRY CHRISTMAS SIS! It really doesn't seem like Christmas here. I am really gonna miss sitting beside you and opening our presents together. I am so use to us telling each other "wait until I am ready to open my present" because we new it was the same thing. I know that you will make sure the kids have a wonderful Christmas I know that just because you are in heaven doesn't mean your gonna stop being Taylor and Brandons mom. I never reaized until now how much your children act like you, and thats a great thing. Amy what I would give to just here your voice on the other end of the telephone. I hope you like the tree we put out at the cementary today its all lit up just like you would like it, but I know that it doesn't compare to the lights that are up in heaven. Well I just wanted you to know that I was thinking about you. I love you so much.

Posted by: angela at December 25, 2005 08:42 AM

Amy its another late night getting home from work and as tired as I am I always want to talk to you. I know that you always worried about me.and I know that I have had my ups and downs but I always cared what you thought about me. I never wanted to be a disapoitment to you. When I always had a problem I could call you and even when I was wrong you stood by my side. But now I just dont know what to do. I feel like now that you arent a phone call a way I just keep all my feelings bottled up inside. I feel if your not here I dont need anyone else. I know if there was anyway they could get a phone in heaven you would use it and lord only knows if I could send you one I would.BUT YOU WOULD JUST LOSE IT IN THE COUCH HA HA.Man Amy what am I gonna do without you. I am going to the cementary tomorrow. I got you a snow globe and put a picture of you on one side and a picture of you and I on the other. I hope you like it. Well I hope you are all snuggled up in your bed getting a good nights rest. I love you. your twin

Posted by: angela at December 24, 2005 01:32 AM

Well I just got home from work and it hasent been a good day.You are all that I can think about. I know that you are in heaven happy as can be but I feel so bad for you I am sad because you aren't at home with Taylor and Brandon, I feel bad because you are not able to enjoy living in your new beutiful home. and not getting to do your reality work that you worked so hard at. I know that it seems silly. but I guess thats just my flesh talking. I KNOW THAT JESUS IS TAKING GREAT CARE OF YOU! I feel that I not only lost my twin but my big sister also. you always protected me and sheltered me from any negativity and that has always meant so much to me. Good night sleep night sis!

Well it's been 2 weeks yesterday and I can't stand living day after day with out you. I never thought I would`be the only child. AND I HATE IT. I always thought we would grow old together and be like the old folks going to the mall and walking and having our morning cup of coffee. I catch my self picking up the phone to call you and then I relize I can't. I do call your home phone to hear your voice on your voice mail. I love you Amy with all my heart.

I'm sorry for the loss you have suffered, especially so close to the holiday's. You are in our thoughts and our prayers. May God bless and comfort you and your children. You have been blessed with a loving close family, who will be here in your time of need. My deepest condolences to all her family.

Pam, I am so sorry for your loss. I know the pain of losing one you love so much and at this time of year it seems so much harder somehow, and mere words can't express how my heart cries for you. I know we've lost touch through the last few years, but know you will always hold a place in my heart. My prayers are with you and your family and know that with the Lord's help each day will become more bearable. Please call me if you need anything or I can be of any help.

Angela, Pam, Chris, Taylor & Brandon,

I am sooooo sorry to hear about Amy and it breaks my heart that I wasn't there! I know I haven't been there, but I am now. To the kids...your mom was one of the best people you would ever meet. Angela...you know I love you all and grew up with you my whole life. Thanks for being such a great big sister...please let me know if there is anything I can do. I am soooooo sorry and she will be missed! I love you!

I was so sorry to hear about Amy. I went to high school with her and Angela. Though I wasn't close to either of them, I wanted to send my condolances to Angela and her family. I never saw Amy after high school, but it sounds like she grew into a wonderful wife and mother. I know she will be missed, but I also know Angela will step in to be a strong mother figure for Amy's children. My prayers are with your family during this difficult time.

Pam, please know that I have thought about you and your family everyday and will continue to keep you in my prayers. I am sorry I did not know sooner as I would have been there for you during this time. Please know that I am always here if you need anything. I remember how you always talked about your girls and the grandbabies-they were your life. Be strong for each other. It will take time but each day will become easier. You will think of her everyday, sometimes every minute, but that's ok, that is why we make memories.
Love you-Becky

Chris,
I am so sorry to hear of your tragic loss, I know that your heart is heavy and lost but always remember that you have the one and only thing that no one else in this world will ever have and that is your beautiful children that no one but Amy could have ever given you. That is a life long gift that will never stop giving. I know that no words will ever ease what you and your family are going through but hopefully you can feel the love in all of the prayers that are being prayed for your family. If ever you need anything your family is always here for you.
You and your children will forever be in my heart and my prayers.
Love Tabatha

Angela,
I don't know if you remember me or not but I used to be at your's and Tony's house all the time. (i dated tony's friend jason) I want you to know that I am so sorry about Amy and my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I only met Amy once but she seemed like such a fun and loving person and mother. Just remember that God will give you the strength to get through this. Love, Michelle Burton Knott

Posted by: michelle burton knott at December 12, 2005 01:03 PM

Angela,
Every time I think about you and Amy I think about the good old high school days. You both were known for your smiles and how you wouldn't take mess off of anybody. You held your friends close, but you held each other closer. I truly wish I could reach out and hug you right now. You are right about never being able to fill Amy's shoes for her children, but they are DEFINETLEY going to have THE NEXT BEST AND THE CLOSEST THING...YOU. Without a doubt, those children with never be without love.

Deepest Regards,
April Howard

Pam, I am so sorry for your loss of Amy. I didn't get to know Amy, but if she is anything like her mother, she was one wonderful person. Now that I have met Angela and the wonderful person she seems to be, Amy could have been no less than an Angel herself. I just want to let you know that DoodleBug and I are here for you if you ever need us. Our prayers are with you and your family. We love you.

Posted by: Elizabeth Robertson at December 12, 2005 11:01 AM

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss.I didn't hear the news until the day before the funeral. I went to school with the twins from first grade on up. And between Amy and Angela they were something else. I know how it feels to lose a loved one so I want to let you know that my prayers are with your family.

Chris, Don and I are so sorry for your loss. I know that no words can heal the ache in your heart. We know from experience how hard it is for you. Time can only ease the pain that will never go away. As if you didn't already know, I wanted to tell you how happy Amy was. She and I always talked family stuff and a conversation we had a few months ago really stands out in my mind. She told me that she was happy being Amy and every thing else had fallen into place. She said she loved you and that you both were so happy. It broke my heart that someone who had that kind of happiness has been taken away.I will miss her so. I told you this morning at school that Don and I are there for you, and we really are. You need not worry about Taylor while she's at school. I will take care of her-no matter what. Please call if you, Brandon or Taylor need anything. We love you! Don and Laura

I am so sorry to her about Amy and for your loss. I just want you to know that you and your family are in my prayers. I pray that God will give you strength through this difficult time. With my deepest sympathy,

Posted by: April Hill at December 11, 2005 07:05 PM

Pam,Butch,Angela, Tony,& Family, I feel as tho I have lost a daughter, also. I have known Amy and Angela since they were born. I can't believe she won't be coming to my house anymore. I was so proud of the mother she had become. Taylor and Brandon were so lucky to have her, even for a short time. The pain in our hearts will lessen after a very long time, for me, but the precious memories will always make me smile. The way she talked about Chris, Brandon, Taylor, and all of her family and friends was a testament to the way she loved so unconditionally. I can still hear her saying, Have you seen my cell phone? or is my cell phone in your couch? Well, enough of this, cause I better save some room for others. I could talk about Amy for hours. All my love and prayers are with all of you. Call me if you need anything.May the Lord, bless you and keep you in his care.

Posted by: Susan Comer at December 10, 2005 09:27 PM

My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this difficult time. May you know God's
will and find peace knowing that she was serving him thru the church.. We cannot understand why this happened to such a young mother in the best years of her life but we know that she has a home in heaven.

Posted by: Demsie Ashby Wells at December 10, 2005 09:19 PM

Chris, Taylor, and Brandon, I am Susan Comer's mother. I have known Amy since she was born. I would bring Korey to Susan's house to play with you. Amy was a great person. She will be missed by all who knew her. May the Lord guide you, bless you and keep you in his care.

Chris, Taylor, and Brandon, I am so sorry about Amy. Ilove you all so much. Trust in the Lord to help you. All of your family and friends are here for you. Just lean on us. I am so glad that Amy brought all of you into our lives. You had one of the best moms I have ever known. Her whole world revolved around ya'll. Please remember,that we are here, if you need anything day or night. Remember the way she hugged you from far away. You'll be getting lots of them from her. All my love and prayers are with you.

Posted by: Susan Comer at December 9, 2005 09:24 PM

Amy,how do I say good-bye to someone who feels like a daughter? You came into my life 26 years ago and have been there eversince. You are one of the best moms I know. I have always been proud of you. Chris and all of us were so lucky to have you in our lives. You will surely be missed. You brought such joy to my life and my families. I thank you for letting me get to know Taylor, Brandon, and Chris. I have enjoyed and I hope I can continue to enjoy keeping Taylor and Brandon. I felt honored that you trusted your precious childrens care to me. I know that you didn't trust many people. Chris is a wonderful father and he will do you proud. All of us will love and protect them. You won't have to wonder about that. I love you with all my heart. Thanks for being such a big part of my life.

To the family of Amy Cornett:
I knew Amy through Dinwiddie Elementary. My daughter Camryn was in Mrs. Martin's Kindergarten class with Taylor last year. She was such a devoted mother. I wish only the best fro your family and you will always be in my prayers and Camryn wants Taylor to know that she is praying for her.

Posted by: Susan Rinker at December 9, 2005 04:39 PM

To Amy's family,
I will never forget how small Amy looked when she first spoke to me at the water fountain beside her second grade class. The next year I was blessed with having her in my class. She was ALWAYS in a good mood, ready to tackle any assignment, and usually finished first. I can say without reservation that she was one of my very favorite students, and one that I will never forget. I know how much she loved her children, because Amy was so proud of them. I am profoundly sorry for this tragedy and I will keep you in my prayers. Love, Kate Yancey

Posted by: Kate Yancey at December 9, 2005 04:21 PM

My heart is broken! I spent my whole childhood with Amy and Angela. She will always be in my heart and in my memories.

Amy I love you with all of my heart and soul. My life and heart are so empty without you. You are my partner in crime, my best friend and not to mention my body guard ha ha. There will not be a day that goes by that I wont look up in the sky and talk to you. No one will ever fill your shoes! But I will tell you one thing I will be there when Taylor needs me for those women chats and Brandons girl problems and I know the rule "they are not allowed to date until they get married" ha ha and as for Chris he is gonna be great I mean he did have a fantastic teacher and thats you BABE! I know you are cleaning those pearly gates in heaven! WE ALL KNOW YOU HATED A MESS! Its gonna be real hard when our birthday comes but you know me I will be there with a cup cake and a candle sitting at that cementary singing HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you with my terrible voice.

Chris, Taylor, Brandon: Words cannot totally express what I'm feeling right now for you three. I love you three so much, more than I'm sure you know. I loved Amy like a daughter and my best friend. She has made an impact on my heart that will never go away. She was so full of love and life and she loved you all so very much. Taylor and Brandon--she was so very proud of you two and her love for you two was tremendous!! Chris--I know she loved you too with all her heart even though I know there were times you thought she didn't. Nothing meant the world to her more than you three. Gosh, I could go on and on about Amy--she will forever be in our hearts and our memories. Just know that we are there for you anytime you need us. Our prayers are with you and all your family.

Even though I haven't seen her in a few years I'll always remember growing up with her and being friends all through school. She'll always be remembered in my heart and soul and may her spirit live forever. My deepest condolences to all her family.
