There are so many things I do in my life and think of something SHE taught me or something SHE said. She lives in my heart. May God wrap His loving arms of comfort and strength around Mrs. Writeman's family. Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints. Psalm 116:15 Name Michael Vaughn Comment Sorry to hear of Mrs. Amy Writeman. I had her for Harvey C. Fenner 2nd grade 1964-65. Greatest teacher and friend. Blessings and condolences. She will be missed. Name Penny Magnuson Comment My dear, sweet Amy. How I will miss her-she was our dear friend and neighbor for many years on Townline Rd. Her daughter, Sue, and I were best friends and still stay in touch. Amy and I exchanged Christmas cards for so many years, and it would bring back so many memories- may God take care of her as she goes Home. Sue and Wendy-my love goes out to you both-time may pass and the years fly by, but you are, and always will be, my dear, dear friends. God Bless both of you and your family. Penny
