Amy was preceded in death by an infant son Daniel, two brothers: Rick and Todd Retzlaff; grandparents: Harvey and Ione Schoen, Dorothy Cumber.
The funeral liturgy for Amy will be held at 11:30 am on Monday, January 26, 2015 at ST. PIUS X CATHOLIC CHURCH, 500 W. Marquette Street in Appleton. Fr. Thomas J. Farrell will be officiating.

I was so very sorry to hear about my cousin's daughter, Amy. They have had a lot of heartache these past few years and I am so completely sorry. Barbara and Roger, be strong and God will lead the way. Special condolences to Amy's husband and children and I hope that time will heal your sorrow. Sincerely, Betty

How sad that Amy decided to leave so soon, with others now missing and needing her. Our family has also experienced another loss of her brother under similar circumstances. We wish all of us the ability to forget the misguided priorities of Amy and Todd, and hope this pathway will finally come to an end - for those still living who face the lack of companionship and guidance our lost ones gave.

To Dan and family
My deepest sympathy; I'm sure you will miss her very much. I hope you can carry on well and be stimulated by her memory.
I really enjoyed my trips taking her to Wausau for her treatments and admired her courage in facing the treatments and her faith that they would really work. It was obvious from our conversations that
she loved you all very much.
Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.

So sad to be missing the funeral of my friend, as we will be out of the state. I just want the family to know that Amy will always be with them. They can see her in the brightest star in the evening sky, or the little bird that appears everywhere. They can can talk to her when ever they like and they will hear her sweet voice answer back. I truly believe this with all my heart. Amy is in my thoughts and you are all in my heart at this time. May God Bless you all with the spirit of Amy.
May our Angel Rest in Peace <3
