She had this beautiful smile that whenever someone would tell her how pretty she was, like Grandma Boston for one, Amy would just smile and her cheecks would turn bright red. That of course too was her favorite color.
I remember when I used to be able to put her in dresses and fix her hair but as Amy got older she like to wear her hair in a ponytail most of the time. That's why every year I looked forward to picture day at school since that was about the only time her hair would be down!
Once Amy started high school she spent alot more time with her friends and talking on the phone. In her room she had Scooby-Doo everywhere. He was her idol. She even had car mats and seatcovers of Scooby in her car. I can remember before she ever got her license which was when she was 15, we would be getting ready to go and visit Grandma on Sunday for dinner and I would walk out and there would be Amy in the car behind the wheel. Since we lived in the country often times I would let her drive to Grandma's.
Amy enjoyed riding four wheelers and dirt bikes and was in some sports every now and then but then it came time to get her license and was that another worry for me! As every parent fears, you always worry from the time they leave the house until the time they get home. The day I took Amy to get her licensed I feel was probably the most happy day of her life. She was very excited not only to get her license, but also that she now owned her own car and what made that special to her is that it was her Grandma's. When we got gome of course I was old news and she wanted to go and spend time with friends.
Amy and her sister Lindsey were like any other sisters, fought like cats and dogs most of the time but they loved each other and would look out for each one often. They are three years apart. And then their is thier little brother Trenton who is two. I remember Amy asking me one time if I had thought that her and Trenton would be close. I didn't even have to hesitate to answer that question.
She managed to put a scrapbook together using my alot of my pictures through the years that turned out real nice. She enjoyed making it you could tell by some of the captions she used for some of the pictures.
Amy’s Scrapbook
Amy took on her first job working at Dairy Queen. She was so nervous for her interview I almost thought she wouldn't go in unless I went in with her! But she did fine and was hired althought she only worked there for around three months. She just didn't feel like she fit in. So then she was hired as a server and a hostess at Denny's Restuarant and made new friends there. She also worked with her step-sister Tashia so if that tells you anything! I felt sorry for the managers. Tashia helped Amy out and made her feel at ease with her work. Having this job meant she would be making tips and boy was that exciting for Amy! Now she could pay for her gas and cell phone!.
I always worried until Amy got home because I knew she would drive faster than she should. Sometimes teenagers think they are invincible until something tragic comes along.
We had her senior pictures taken earlier before she passed away. I am so thankful that at least she was able to have those done. She was so pretty that day! She actually let me do her hair and put on a little make-up. She looked like a princess! You never dream of your children passing before you do. I guess I should be thankful that the good Lord gave me 17 years with Amy but I still feel cheated in a sense that I won't get to be beside her for her wedding day, nor will I get to see her have children. The only thing that gives me hope and keeps me going is knowing my faith in God will see me through. I will see my precious Amy again one day soon!! I love and miss you so much Amy!!
There’s a special angel in heaven
That is a part of me.
It is not where we wanted her right now,
But where God wanted her to be.
She was here just a moment,
Like a night-time shooting star.
And though she is in heaven,
She isn’t very far.
She touched the hearts of many,
Like only an angel can do.
We would have held her every minute,
If the end we only knew.
So we send this special message,
To heaven up above.
Please take care of our angel,
And send her all our love.

she closed the book....
''too beautiful for this earth"
IMAGINE BY JOHN LENNON
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
I didnt have to look into your eyes to fall in love with you.
I didnt have to hear you cry to know you loved me too.
I didnt need to hold your hand to cherish you always.
Within my womb we shared our hearts.
You touched my soul.
You sweetened my spirit.
You gave me memories I'll always hold dear.
Yes, my heart aches since you departed too soon.
But a mothers love doesn't end with death.
For you are my child and my love is forever yours

Dear Amy-
Although you have only been gone from this earth for 4 months it seems like forever. Everyone keeps telling me that all of the “firsts” are the hardest but to me everyday here without you isn’t any easier either. I wish I had a second chance to start all over again but I know in my heart that will never be possible. It was nice to see your friends and family gather at the cemetery to help celebrate your birthday with you. You are extra special with having a birthday on Valentine’s Day! I know there are a lot of things in life we are to be thankful for but my thoughts right now are “why my daughter?” I haven’t done anything to your room yet because I feel better with it like it is for now. I just want to think that you are in there lying on your bed watching T.V. or your DVD’s. I know that may sound selfish but it helps me to think my family is home and safe. I can’t stop thinking of the night you were taken away from me and I have to hurry up and think of something funny you used to say or do. You have so many friends that I never even knew of and for that it makes me thankful to have a daughter with so much love for so many people. I know I have stepped in your business a few times when I should have just left well enough alone but I was just trying to look out for you is that you would not have to face issues similar to what I had experienced when I was your age. I may have been a little over protective with you but I just wanted what was best for Amy. You were hard headed a lot of the times but I think we both know where you got that from…………….Grandma Donna!!!! I know the two of you are up in Heaven keeping an eye on each other and that is the ONLY thing that keeps me at ease. When we lost our Jason in August of 1999 our family was torn apart. Then in 2000 your Grandpa passed away in May and Grandma in April of 2005. Our family has been hit very hard with the loss of our loved ones. I never imagined what your Aunt Rob was going through until I lost you. Now I’m experiencing all the pain and sadness that she is still going through and it is so unbearable at times. Life is hard enough as it is and to live it with the loss of your child is even more harder yet. I just want you to know Amy that if I could have done anything to have spared you your life rest assured it would have been done in a heartbeat. Time keeps passing by quickly but sometimes I feel like I’m left behind and can’t move forward without you here. It makes me feel good when somebody mentions your name or tells me stories about what you did and when I go somewhere and feel like no one is talking about you because they are afraid of how I’ll feel you better know I bring up a conversation on you because I won’t let anyone forget you! You are and will always be my Amy girl and I want you to always remember that. I love you now and forever.
Hi Amy-
Missing you like always and wanted to let you know me and Lindsey went to a scrapbook store today and she picked out alot of nice things to start a scrapbook all about you for her. She was excited to get home and start on it and so far what she has done looks really nice for never having done it before. She worked so hard on the few pages she has finished. She misses you so bad Amy! I know you looked out for her quite a bit and ask that you please continue to watch over her. When she finishes her scrapbook then her and I are going to make one of you for your little brother Trenton. He says your name constantly. Especially when we look up in the sky at night and see the stars he will look up and say "Mimie." I will always let him know about you and how close you two where. We all miss you and love you so much!
Hi Amy-
Just wanted to let you know your cousin Chelsea got a tattoo on her lower back of a cross with rose's and your name on it. It is so nice! The name reminds me of how your wrote your name when you where little. She was so excited about getting it and she finally had it done. The people who did it knew you from Denny's. Cousin Tony is still working on getting his license, hopefully he will have them before he is 30! I know you all would have went cruising around together on the weekends having fun and hopefully staying out of trouble. I know your graduation is coming up in May and I know they are going to have a seat for you so I am going to be going to it for you. I remember how you looked forward to that day and I want to be a part of it. Danielle and Candice brought your yearbook out to me and you managed to be in there another time besides your junior picture. It is a real nice yearbook. I will put it away for you. I miss you down here with us. I take one day at a time and by the end of the day I am exhausted. I love you so much and I want you to always remember that. Please watch over us and be near me so that I
may feel you by my side. I love you with all my heart.
Chelsea's Tattoo
Just wanted to let you know your cousin Tony finally did it!! He got his license today and is so excited. He called me to let me know and I told him that if you were here you, him and Chelsea would all be going out together! So he will be cruising the streets in aunt Laurie's car tonight. Then I came home and started thinking about you and cried. I feel so lost without you and it's hard for me to not to lose it once I realize you are gone.......I also see so many cars like you had and I just stare at them until they pass by me. I often think of how many times you would come and ask me if you could go up town to get a soda when I knew we had it right here at home. But I sometimes let you go anyway 'cause I knew you had something up your sleeve. I know you have to be looking down after me somehow or I would have never came this far without you by my side. I only ask that you keep watching over me & please watch over your sister Lindsey. She misses you so much and talks about you all the time. We have some pretty good conversations about you or should I say, I am finding out some stories on you! But for the most part it makes me feel good to see her smile and share stories about you with me. You are a very special part of our lives that we will hold close to our hearts forever & ever. There is only one Amy and that is enough to last me for the rest of my life until we meet again. Please know that you are thought of constantly and that we all miss you so very much and you will
always be our precious Amy!
I love you Amy Nichole!
Amy, It's been 5 months since I lost you and it seems like forever. It hasn't gotten any easier either. Every day seems like a hill climb to get through. I miss you something terrible and think of you constantly. I am thankful for all the memories I have of you but memories are nothing compared to having you here again. I look back through the years and see how quickly you went from being a baby to a beautiful young lady and hope you realized how beautiful you are! One thing I always think about is how you always said you loved me before you went to bed from the time you were little up until you were 17. I cherish those memories forever!! I want you to know I still say "I love you Amy" before I go to bed in hopes that you hear me. Every time that I'm out of an evening I look up at the sky to find the brightest star and know it's you shining down for me. I found a couple of letters you had written to me and one was about how you were going to straighten up for me and start helping me out more and how you were glad that I was your mom and let me tell you I cried for a long time after reading them. Just know that even though you may have been stubborn at times I wouldn't have traded you for anyone else in the world!! God Bless you Amy and goodnight for now.
Well Amy today is April Fool’s day and I thought of how I wish you would walk through the door saying “April Fool’s” mom telling me you were just kidding. I hurt so much knowing your never coming back. I know I’ve been harder on your sister Lindsey for the simple fact that I am scared. After losing you my whole life has changed. I was looking through my pictures on line and came a cross a video you were taping of little Trenton and I heard your laugh and just lost it! No matter how many times I hear that you are in a better place it still does not take the pain of losing you away. You were so special in every way to me. I still haven’t touched your room. It is eventually going to be Trenton’s room as I know you would want that. I just don’t have the courage to make the move right now. Time may go on for others but as for me I am moving rather slow. I want to ask you to please watch over us and know that we all miss & love you so very much. You are our precious daughter Amy.
Well Amy today is Mother’s Day, the first one for me without you. I remember last year you and Trevis went and got me a card and an ice-cream cake from Dairy Queen. I look at that card so many times just to read the words, “I love you very much” that you had written to me. Those kind of words will forever stay in my heart. I’m not going to pretend that today is just “another day” because no matter what I will always be a mother to you and carry you close to me on this day and all the others to come. I love you so very much Amy Nichole Boston and I thank you for being your mother for 17 years you were here with
me, and for all the rest to follow.
A Mother's Day Wish From Heaven
By Jody Seilheimer
Dear Mr. Hallmark,
I am writing to you from heaven,
and though it must appear
A rather strange idea,
I see everything from here.
I just popped in to visit,
your stores to find a card
A card of love for my mother,
as this day for her is hard.
There must be some mistake I thought,
I saw every card you could imagine
Except I could not find a card,
from a child who lives in heaven.
She is still a mother too,
no matter where I reside
I had to leave, she understands,
but oh the tears she's cried.
I thought that if I wrote you,
that you would come to know
That though I live in heaven now,
I still love my mother so.
She talks with me, and dreams with me;
we still share laughter too,
Memories are our way of speaking now,
would you see what you could do?
My mother carries me in her heart,
her tears she hides from sight.
She writes poems to honor me,
sometimes far into the night
She plants flowers in my garden,
there my living memory dwells
She writes to other grieving parents,
trying to ease their pain as well.
So you see Mr. Hallmark,
though I no longer live on earth
I must find a way to remind her
of her wondrous worth.
She needs to be honored,
and remembered too
Just as the children of earth will do.
Thank you Mr. Hallmark,
I know you'll do your best
I have done all I can do;
to you I'll leave the rest.
Find a way to tell her,
how much she means to me
Until I can do it for myself,
when she joins me in eternity.
Graduation Night At
Greenville High School
Amy it’s been close to sixteen months now since I lost you and let me tell you it is no easier now than it was then. I miss you more and more every single day that goes by. I can’t believe that tomorrow is your “19th” birthday in Heaven. I know that you wouldn’t choose to come back even if you could but just remember no one here will ever forget you and your beautiful smile. I just long for the day to be able to hold you once again and tell you how much that I have missed you. I hope you see how many people care deeply for you and love you so very much. We will celebrate your birthday for your once again hoping that you like what we do. Tell your Grandma Donna, Jason & Brayden that we love and miss them also. Lindsey and Trenton miss you so much!
A Birthday In Heaven
© 2005 Written by Kris Smith
I heard you crying yesterday
And felt your heart-sent love
So I’m sending you this message
Now, from Heaven up above.
You’re wondering if I’ll celebrate
My birthday (way up here)
I know you’re missing me today
I feel your essence near.
God planned a special day for me
He told me with a wink
He’d ordered me a special cake
(It’s Angel food, I think)
I’m getting lots of hugs from God
He’s really good at that
And every time that I walk by
He gives my head a pat
Balloons will fill the streets for me
They float up through the clouds
And we have lots of clowns up here
That make us laugh out loud
There is a birthday carousel
Jeweled horses ride the wind
With music playing oh so sweet…
The magic never ends
I’ve made so many friends, you see
We laugh and play and sing
We ride our bikes and play jump rope
And sleep in Angel’s wings
We’ll have our cake and ice cream
And open gifts, surprise!
But we don’t blow out our candles here
Instead, they light the skies
This memorial website was created in the memory of our precious angel Amy Nichole Boston who was born on Valentine's Day February 14th, 1988 and passed away on October 15th, 2005 in a fatal car accident at the age of 17. Amy was such a beautiful girl who was so outgoing and had touched so many hearts. She will never be forgotten and we will love her ALWAYS & FOREVER!!!
