The song 'Beautiful' was Ami's favorite song. The story you have on TV is as related to us exactly what happened at her school. A new enrollee at her school came to the lunch room and sat at a table where no one was. No one would sit with him. Ami got up from her table and moved over to where the new student was. He stated she said 'Guess no one else was going to eat with him so she would". He told us after that the others started including him.
Another time related to us was when two boys were picking on another small boy. It was said Ami got between them and ask if they wanted any part of her. Ami was 5' 4" and 105. But she was not afraid.
Ami was killed in a car crash on March 25, 2003 at the age of 16. It was estimated 1500 to 2000 attended her wake and funeral. Of a small community that was enormous. She left a legacy of
caring and loved equaled by few. A scholarship was started by her school mates in her honor. I feel her story deserves to be told.
