The first time I heard Amy sing, my world was rocked. Time stood still for a minute, I got chills, and for the first time ever I felt the music all the way to my soul. It was her powerhouse voice that affected me originally, but later I was blown away by her raw honesty and quick wit. I could go on and on describing all of the ways that Amy impacted lives but perhaps the most important thing she did was to show us that it is okay to be yourself in this world. That true love, genuine friendship, and loyalty do matter. That it is fine to speak the truth. That life is too short to have regrets. Amy was an amazingly beautiful person inside and out. Her legacy will live on as those that love her will keep her alive in our hearts forever. She’s a flame on a candle that perpetually burns.
Your fans miss you, Amy Jade Mermaid, every single day. And we thank you for all that you’ve given us.
