She was fearless in her desire to learn about and experience the world with her family & friends. Amelia didn't worry about what she couldn't do her focus was on what she could do. She enriched everybody she met with her loving spirit and grit. She enjoyed talking about Jesus, reading with her Grandpa, crafts with Aunt Beth, all food cooked by her Grandma, spending time with her friends, her pets, all culinary adventures & traveling especially to New York City. Our entire family would like to express our love and profound gratitude to her many caregivers both at home and the Arkansas Children's Hospital (ACH).

Locally, we have been blessed with capable, compassionate care from Northwest Arkansas Pediatric Clinic, Mercy Health, & home health caregivers.
