Amy was a very special person. I love her very much and will miss her every day! Lou
I am so saddened to learn of Amy’s death. She was always such an upbeat person. I will always remember her with a smile on her face. She was a very spiritual person and has now reaped her reward. It will be so sad not to see her at our WHS60 reunions.
Charles, may you and your family please accept my deepest sympathy. May you find comfort in the many precious memories that you have of the wonderful person that Amy was.
Amy and I graduated from Waco High and it was like yesterday. I remember her well. She is now in the arms of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Praying God’s living arms will sustain and hold you in the days and weeks ahead.
I did not know your Mother personally . I knew her from the pick-up line at CS schools ! We often chatted and always waved . Her husband always with her …. I thought so much of her not even really knowing her. She must of been very Special . May God give your family comfort and peace .
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Amy was a wonderful person and will be truly missed. I look forward to the day where we are all reunited again in Heaven.
Brennon and Kim
You are both in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so sadden to hear of Mrs. Arnold passing. She was a wonderful neighbor. I so enjoyed chatting with her at football games and band events. She literally always had a smile on her face and that is something that is so rarely seen. My condolences to the Arnold family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
