This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, Amy Marie Wilhelmus. We will remember her forever.
A Celebration of Life was held in Ohio and California. Below are links to the slideshows that were presented at each:
Ohio - March 2016
California - June 2016
Amy's beautiful smile and loving spirit will always be with us. It was an honor to know and love her. Amy will forever be our Hero.
Bill and I will always remember our many dinners together. It was a pleasure knowing you. You were an amazing human being. I guess God needed you up there with him to be his little cheerleader. We will miss your sweet smile and loving heart.
Amy was the sweetest, bravest and most compassionate person I've ever known. She will be forever missed.
Amy's smile could light up a room. She was the kindest, gentlest person. We were blessed to have been part of her life. You will be forever missed sweet Amy. I know you are smiling down on all of us with the Angels.
You are our brightest star and will forever remain. May your beautiful soul continue to shine on all of us that knew you and loved you. Fly high, fly free, and forever be a Mickey Mouse girl.
Amy brought so much joy to so many people. She was truly loved by everyone who had the pleasure of meeting this sweet little girl. I am blessed to have seen her grow up over the last 20 years. She has always held a special place in my family's hearts. We will miss her dearly. Thank you Debbie and Paul for sharing your little angel with us.
Amy is gone from this world but she will never be forgotten.
She will live forever in the hearts of all who knew her.
I've written words in this little box several times, but I keep erasing them. There are no words to express the pain of losing Amy, someone so young and beautiful, but there are a hundred words to describe Amy. Amy was fun, sweet, caring, loving, smart, kind and most of all, Amy was her own women. I'm grateful Amy let me be part of her life, and she'll forever be in my heart and memory.
It was a pleasure for Faith and I to know Amy. She was truly a blessing in so many peoples lives. Rest in peace - much love, Faith and Diana Ficklin
Amy loved a party especially in Cincinnati. She always enjoyed coming to our house whenever she was in town and she knew people were coming to see her. She always asked about everyone and never forgot anyone. We will love her in our hearts forever.
I always enjoyed seeing how much Amy loved her visits in Cincinnati. She was always smiling and loved seeing everyone. It has been a blessing to have known her. We will never forget her and her love for Mickey Mouse. She shall remain in our hearts forever. Thank you Paul and Debbie for being Amy's amazing parents.
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AMY DEBBIE AND PAUL I AM SORRY THAT YOU MISS AMY I MISS AMY TOO. AMY IS ONE OF THE BEST PEOPLE IN THE UNIVERSE. I AM SAD THAT AMY IS IN HEAVEN. LOVE CHARLOTTE

Sweet Amy, it has been four long years since we saw your smiling face and heard your soft little voice. We would give anything to touch your sweet, little face and tuck you in at night.
