Amy Calderone.

Oh Amy! My heart continues to ache from missing you...

Yet, I am able to rejoice that you are home and it wont be long until I see you again. Where we'll worship the Father together!

I thank God everyday for the example and gift you were to me and so many others. You were a shining light of God's love to everyone that you met. You loved Jesus, and pursued him wholeheartedly.

You weren't some boring religious person.
You were a beautiful girl with an unending and beautiful love for her Savior.
I want to be like you when I grow up.

The 19 years you had on this earth were so short. I will miss you so much!
I will miss talking to you at church. And you asking me how my walk with the Lord is going. I will miss your love for everyone you met. You were friends with so many people! And you treated them with amazing care and love. You reached out to the friendless. And encouraged the heartbroken. I will always remember you. I will remember teaching "Great Expectations" with you in British Lit. And taking silly pictures on my computer while we were getting ready for it. And I will remember you encouraging me after Public Speaking class- even if I did terrible. I will remember your love for the Savior. And the way you talked about Him constantly. The way you lived your life for Him. And for the great things to come.

You are now in the place that you were longing for.

Your love for Heaven has inspired me to learn as much about it and live my life with eternity in perspective. You lived your life that way. Constantly getting ready for our Home. And the King's city.

Praise Jesus for the gift and promise of Heaven! The fact that we will see Him face to face!
And when our loved ones go home, we can know that the goodbye wont last forever! "And when we reach the city, we'll understand the journey to the land we were made for, the city of our King and we'll be HOME."

I miss you Amy... see you soon. <3

"Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?" John 11: 25-26

"You heard me say to you, 'I am going away, and I will come to you.' If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater that I." John 14:28
