Because Amy cared about those with special needs, I challenge everyone to go out and volunteer--help those with needs and who are IN need!!

I agree with you. If more people were willing to give of themselves they would realize what a blessing they can be in someone else's life, and vice versa. I have done some volunteer work in the past and never regretted it. The Special Olympics are an awsome experience, since you get to see people who rise above their physical impediments and go the extra mile. Another of my pet projects until recently was volunteering for the cub scouts. My sons love scouting and I came to love the children with whom I was involved. They are funny, interesting, full of divergent thinking and novel ways of looking at the world. Unfortunately, I will be doing the nursing program for the next few years and will have no extra time to devote to these projects. My sons and I will continue to partake of events whenever possible, though.

Phil Sez: "Her membername was Amy up until January 17 when she asked me to change it to "Billy's Girl".

That's why the name changed.

I just hope folks will listen and go volunteer somewhere to make a good difference in others' lives.

When you have all your senses and abilities, and talents, you can use those in a way that can change a person's whole life. If you think about it, there is certain power there that you can effect someone's life for many years to come! If you do it in a positive fashion, just think how wonderful that would be.

It's not a glitch - Vbulletin (this software) keeps people listed as 'online' for a certain amount of minutes even if they leave the site. Which actually makes the total number of users online thing useless.

Billy was referring to Billy Jukes, who was a Lost Boy on a non-Disney animated series version of "Peter Pan", in case you didn't know.

You're right. I forgot. (My brain isn't as retentive as my bladder). I think I remember that she had told us that before in a thread once.

In just a few short days, it will have been 4 years since we lost our dear friend, Amy. I know many of the newer members to the board don't remember her, but she was really a wonderful person, a great Muppet fan, and a good friend. If you never had the opportunity to know Amy, please, take the time to do so. I believe her user profile was posted at the beginning of this thread.

Those of you who do remember Amy, I thought it would be nice to reminisce a little bit. To laugh, to cry, and just to celebrate our dear, sweet friend, Amy...

We will always remember you, Amy.

Incidentally, a thread was posted a year after she passed away that thread can be viewed here.

Amy...

I remember her.

She was a smile, not just someone who made you smile, but a smile in herself. She was gentle, and kind. She looked up, and never down. Her glass was half full, and never drained empty. I see her name here...and I cry through a smile...remembering her life, and losing her once again.

Today I was talking to my friends about the world. About the evil in the world, the selfishness and bitterness in the world, the broken-hearts and badness, and I couldn't understand, couldn't begin to understand, how so much darkness could exist in this world without overcoming us all.

Just now, I came here...I read this...and I remembered her posts and the smile we saw in her words...and I realized, there may be darkness...but there is light. Amy was a flash of light, a ray of gold threading through our forum...

I just started crying as I read these posts, and felt it all again. But I wasn't crying in frustration any more, I was crying through a smile...I know it's kinda late to say it now but...thank you Amy. We love you still. We miss you. And...you are an inspiration to us all.

Amy was a wonderful person. No matter what was going on with her, she would put it away for a second to make sure everything else around her was happy and laughing.

You're still missed.

Recently, we remembered Richard Hunt's passing. Frank Oz once said that Richard embodied everything the Muppets are. That's not an exact quote, but if Richard (Amy's favorite, by the way) represented everything the Muppets are, Amy was the embodiment of everything a Muppet fan should be. She was peaceable, loving, kind, generous, and had an insanely wonderful sense of humor. We could all learn a lesson from the way Amy was, and will always be in our memories. Sarah, Beau, your words made me think. Really, those of us who knew Amy have actually learned from her, and whether she meant to or not, she has "made this world a better place".
