IIHis words, in her song

What he wrote about Amy, word for word, and the lines it became.

  1. His message to herI think of you 1000 times a day or more
    In the song 0:45

    I think of you a thousand times a day, Amy Marie

  2. His message to herI do wish I could feel your spirit guide me more every day and I am grabbing my coffee to join you to watch the most beautiful sunset tonight
    In the song 0:13

    I'm grabbing my coffee as the sun goes down

    I promised I'd join you for the sunset tonight

    Wishing I could feel your spirit guiding me right

  3. A memoryShe worked next-door to me at the Burger King and I worked at my Uncle Mark’s new Pennzoil Oil Change
    In the song 1:25

    You at Burger King, me at Uncle Mark's Pennzoil in the sun

  4. A memoryI fought against falling for her… seeing her with another guy at a restaurant where I stopped for coffee and she was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen
    In the song 1:32

    I fought against falling, but I couldn't fight it anymore

    When I saw you at that restaurant and I walked through the door

    You were sitting with another guy, I'd just stopped for a cup

    You were the most beautiful woman, and my heart just opened up

  5. What he missesI miss her telling me she loves me and always telling her “I love you more!”
    In the song 1:01

    Whenever you said "I love you," I'd say "I love you more"

  6. What he missesWe bowled alot. Went to some great concerts and she always spent hours meticulously doing her hair
    In the song 2:34

    We'd go out bowling or to catch a concert show

    You'd spend hours on your hair, but you'd step out and glow

  7. Her legacyShe would dry, press and keep a flower from every flower I ever bought her over 35 years… the memories play in my head like a video cassette player
    In the song 0:49

    Playing like a video cassette inside of me

    To the thirty-five years of pressed flowers you left behind

IIIAmy’s story

Amy was artistic, giving, loyal, musical and always smiling, a wonderful mother and, her husband says, “the best partner, lover, wife, best friend, confidant, co-worker and inspiration I could ever ask for.”

They became best friends in May 1991, when she worked at the Burger King next door to his uncle Mark’s new Pennzoil oil change. Over that summer, he fell in love with his best friend.

“I think of you 1000 times a day or more”

What he wrote to her

He fought against falling for her, “but it was in the stars.” One day he stopped for coffee at a restaurant and saw her there with another guy: “she was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen and that’s when I knew.”

Their first kiss was on November 15, 1991, and they married on that same day in 1997, in a small, intimate chapel. They celebrated every November 15, and the day never lost its magic.

They bowled a lot and went to great concerts. She spent hours on her hair, and the wait was worth it, because she was “beyond beautiful and glowed, literally.” For 35 years, she dried, pressed and kept a flower from every flower he ever bought her.

She was in so much pain for years, and still she taught him that “a smile can make your day.” She feared she was too weak to carry on, but she swore to get strong, overcoming a very delicate back surgery in April 2026.

“We lost his mother unexpectedly in September and it has just crushed me.”

Amy’s husband, in his video

He misses everything about her, even caring for her these past few years, and hearing her say she loved him so he could answer, “I love you more!” Now he is working on everything they planned for their son, James, and he has promised to join her for the sunset, coffee in hand, every night.
