Amy- I hope your resting in peace. You were such a beautiful person inside and out. I was so fortunate enough to meet you. Your spirit was that of a child and I loved how carefree you were. RIP lovely.

Dear Aunt Grace, Bill and Jill, Carl and Kathleen, Mandy, Alex and Kaitlyn, and Cecilia...We are so sorry for the loss of Amy. It's very hard to imagine such a sudden loss of her young life....thinking we would have more years and hopefully more times of overlapping family times to enjoy and renew ties from our shared Kleyboecker heritage. Not to be. We are heartbroken with all of you in losing Amy like this and are praying for you each in these hard days to follow. God is our strength...a very present help in times of trouble....else how could we bear it. We send our love to you and want you to know how much you mean to us. It was so wonderful to see you this summer at mom's for a short visit, Kathleen, Carl, Mandy and Cecelia! God bless the Riesters all....love, Tricia and all the Gramstads

My sweet Amy Jo. We shared so many fun times back in our high school days. I will cherish our memories always. I know this isn't goodbye, we will be together again. I wonder if we're allowed to T.P. houses in Heaven? Probably not, but we'll still have fun! Riester Family, you are in our thoughts and prayers and will continue to be in the days to come. Thank you for sharing Amy Jo with us over the years! We were blessed!

Like others here, it's been far too long since I've had a chance to share a laugh with you.
Your smile will stay with me always.

Amy,
I do wish I had been able to hug you one last time and that I would have lingered longer the last time I saw you at dinner with you and Julie. You did a great Ernie from Seseme St. laugh. I will always treasure the little wooden Holly Hobbie Jewelry box that you and your dad made in middle school. I will see you when I get There Amy. Love Carolyn

There were days that I just didn't want to come into work and smile or laugh, I wanted to be an angry 20 something year old. You weren't having that and you made smile and laugh. You were a joy to work with and your laugh will echo in my head until the day I come to join you. Thank you Amy Jo, you will be missed.
