NOTE - This memorial page was created by one researcher in spite of at least one other researcher reporting that she was cremated. The created memorial page lacks any photo of the grave site and no copy of a death certificate has been found in public records. It is unclear what Amy would have been doing in Massachusetts at the time of her death when her husband was living in California.
