Memories of our Daughter

AMY DEANN STEMEN
42 years ago today we were blessed with a beautiful dark curley headed little girl. Growing up her hair turned blond and stayed that way until in her late teens. As a child Amy felt a call to be a Missionary. That she was in so many ways. She worked at the Allen County Children's Services in Lima, Ohio. As a Social Worker she had many opportunities to go to the Mission field in her work. Her job was to teach families how to take care of their children so they would not have to be put into foster care.

Today would be her birthday but she will always be 28 to us. In 1994 God took her to be with Him after a brave battle of cancer.

Amy today we celebrate again the beautiful brave life and joy that your brought into our lives and those of your siblings. May God use us here as Missionaries and serve just a small way in your place. We will always love you.

Amy was a Blessing. Watching how you cared for her and each other, showed me how a family should/could be.
Love,
Jayne
