Lit a candle in memory of Amy Allison Dickens Tyler
Prayers for the family . Amy had a heart of gold she will be missed
I met Amy in 1996, we instantly became close friends. She called me her sister. We had so many fun times & shared sadness too at times. She was a beautiful soul. With a huge heart. She adored her children. I will see her again someday. Rest easy my dear friend. How ironic I’m lighting a candle . Amy loved candles more than anyone I know.

I Love you Ruth & brothers to. Im so sorry my prayers are with you. Amy Hall

When I think of Amy, I remember a great time in my life. Sunbathing, sharing dinners, and letting our kids play. I think of her beautiful smile and the laughs we had. There were so many!
It hurts my heart to hear this news.
Praying hard for God’s peace over her children, sister Diana, Mother and family! 🙏🙏🙏
May you find comfort in knowing there is a life in heaven where pain does not exist. We can count on that!! ✝️️
I went to Beauty school with Amy and worked with her early in our careers. Amy was always a bright light and fun to work with. I am sad to hear of her passing and offer my condolences to the entire family.
