Amy was a hard worker and very energetic. She had recently started working for Pep-A-Roni's as a delivery driver, part-time. Amy loved this job because she was a people person, and she had never met a stranger. Her musical talent was beyond average; Amy could play almost any instrument. She played piano, guitar, and the French horn, which was her least favorite to play but the one that she played the best. Amy loved the outdoors; she liked running, hiking, riding unicycles and above all swimming. She could have lived in the water. Amy also enjoyed drawing, scrapbooking, and photography. Earlier in life, Amy had been in an accident and went through many surgeries. It took a lot of courage and a year of fighting back, but she recovered.
