I met Amy and Cody on a fire in Colorado. They were two very special people. Amy was always very interesting to talk to not only because she had many talents as a firefighter but because she was a genuine and caring person.
Neil you are in our prayers. we will keep in touch.

I had the pleasure of working with Amy on many wildland fires and I know she will be sorely missed. I, for one, was very excited to learn she had joined the Blue team this year and I would get to work with her more. She was sincere, kind, and overall an amazing person. She worked so hard and always had a great attitude and smile on her face. I am going to miss that. My heart goes out to you all right now during this difficult time.
