Funeral services for Mrs. Amy Wayton will be held Saturday, May 23, 2009 at 10:30 AM at Holy Trinity Catholic Church. The family will receive friends Friday from 5:00 to 8:00 PM at the funeral home. Amy Wayton- beloved Mother, Wife, Sister, Friend and Christian Let’s Remember- Amy Wayton left the earth on May 20, 2009 earlier than we wanted at the age of 44 with a blink of an eye. She so touched our lives and those of everyone she ever came in contact with--even more so than “George Bailey”. Let’s start with her 3 magnificent children Bailey, Paige, and Adam who are filled with the goodness, grace, kindness, courtesy, tradition, love, intellect, and Love for God that Amy was responsible for instilling in them everyday. Everyone who meets her children can see her spirit and influence on them. When it comes to family, there was never a birthday, graduation, or special event that did not get “special recognition” as the most important event on earth. She seemed to sense what made others feel special. Amy also had a special bond with her sister Sharon who she adored beyond words. Sadly they will not be able to celebrate being “crazy old ladies” together in their retirement. As a wife, Amy knew what it was to love, have fun, and encourage Erik not to take himself so seriously and to focus on what was important- the family. She was an amazing wife who not only inspired Erik to greatness but also to partner with her in building a family-life that was their “Heaven on Earth”. As a friend, Amy went out of her way to always do that special thing, fill a need, help out in a jam, or create a special celebration that made people take a step back and say “Wow!- She is Amazing!”- probably because she was! People loved Amy because she was the light of the room and was genuine. She was often told “you don’t need to do that, people don’t expect that” but then again, Amy wanted to go the extra mile and everyone who knew her, has a special “Amy” story. Amy was an extraordinarily creative person who instilled life to canvas, rooms, clothes, or a dinner table with a special touch. Her creativity also included an attitude of “can-do” and let’s find a way to achieve our goals. She was an inspiration and energy source for all those lucky enough to come in contact with her. Amy is the lucky one now, as she is in heaven with our Lord Jesus Christ. We will all think of her everyday when we see a daisy, the ocean, a beautiful sunrise, or feel a cool breeze across our neck. You will be dearly missed Amy by all of us, but we also know that the most important thing we can do to honor your memory is to be happy, to appreciate all that life has to offer, and for us to help make the world and the lives we touch a little bit better just as you tried to do. Thank you for teaching us how to love. Thoughts, Prayers and Donations- The family requests your prayers for strength, healing and love for the 3 children, Erik, and the entire extended family.
