Amy Elizabeth Jones was granted her angel wings on March 6th 2005. Her final days
were spent surrounded by family and friends that Amy had touched in some small way
throughout her short, yet very memorable life.
Amy’s life would seem too short to many, but those who were touched by her understood
that the quality of existence far exceeds the quantity of time in which one lives. Her
gently smile, tiny finger and baby soft skin brought so much joy to or family.
Although she was so tiny and frail, she gave us all such courage and hope and reminded
us of the preciousness of life. She loved to rock and swing. She could spend hours
rocking in his favorite chair while cuddling close to those he loved so much. She enjoyed
music and reading stories.
Amy is survived by his loving parents, Craig and Amy Jones of Rutland Vermont; sister
Katie Jones; paternal grandparents Bob and Margaret Jones; uncle Mark Jones of Raleigh
NC.
