I haven’t spoken to Amy in over 40 years. Her brother Doug was my closest friend. I always kept a special place in my heart for Amy. She and her whole family were so kind to me. Eternal rest grant unto Amy Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon her! 🙏❤️
My heart is aching with the loss of my dear, sweet friend Amy. She moved in with her family next door to me when she was 9 years old, which would have been 50 years this October. We quickly became friends.
Amy and I spent a lot of time together in those "growing up" years. Later, besides the more usual dinner and a movie, we enjoyed all kinds of activities together -- comedy shows, community theatre productions, the Michigan State Fair, haunted houses, amusement parks, a dude ranch, or just a game of pool or miniature golf. We trekked to our share of wineries, including in Finger Lakes, New York. In Pennsylvania, we took an Amish buggy ride and learned to twist pretzels. We visited Hershey and stayed downwind from the famed chocolate factory. We also went whitewater rafting. And in Nassau, Bahamas, we toured the island and went helmet diving, walking along the ocean floor.
While we hadn't gotten together for quite some time, due to life circumstances, Amy and I kept in touch. We talked just a few days before her passing. And I even commented that I was so glad we had a chance to share so many experiences. I had been thinking about that even more this year.
Taken from us far too soon, I will always miss Amy's presence in my life. I have so many memories, and much will remind me of Amy. Little things, such as her fondness for Reese's peanut butter cups, and the tomato sandwiches she enjoyed, with tomatoes from my garden. And the bigger things—the life lessons in courage, strength, determination and service, along with a smile.
May you rest now with the angels, dear Amy, until I see you again.
I have many fond memories of Amy visiting us at bowling when her boyfriend, Shayne, was in our league. Such a sweet woman, and such a tragedy to lose her so young. My deepest condolences to all of you mourning her loss...

I prayer for Amy Elizabeth Griffith and family, I remembered her thru our Lutheran School for the deaf in Detroit, Michigan in 1968-72 since never heard from her til now I’m shocked she lives in Warren area surprised so I lives in Roseville area. And few days ago our members of Lutheran School for the deaf posted about Amy Griffith’s obituary and photo I’m shocked also, I’m sorry loss of your family of Amy. My Prayers for your family.
Amy was such a sweet and thoughtful person. I was only able to see her a few times when I was in Michigan visiting Shayne, but she was so loving and kind. Praying for the family and friends who will miss her so much.
Love, Cathy and Mike Corbett (Texas family of Shayne Salmon)
