Amelia was a most wonderful friend. We worked together for eighteen years. She was the most kind and understanding individual that I have ever known. We have shared many wonderful movies, dinners and good times together. I will miss her much, but her loving memory and smile will always be with me. Rest in peace my very dear friend! - Posted by: Helen Newman (Friend ) on: Jun 05, 2017
