Rochelle Drahos says
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Hahn family; I am sorry for your loss. Amy was a huge part of my childhood; I will always cherish my memories of swimming in the lake, biking around the neighborhood, running around the fairgrounds, birthday parties, barbies, 4H hayrides, golfing, snowmobiling, and skiing trips. I regret losing touch over the years, but when we would see each other, it was easy to catch up and carry on as if it had only been a few days. Losing Amy is so sad, but I will think of her often, remembering all the good times we had together and the influence she has had on my life, my kids’ lives, and our families. Blessed be her memory, my deepest sympathies.

My deepest condolences. My heart is heavy when I learned of Amy’s passing today. I have so many wonderful memories of Amy during our golf days together. She brought so much joy, laughter and a love of music to our team. She loved Prince and every time I hear a Prince song I immediately think of her to this day. Prayers for your family as you travel through this journey of grief. She will always be remembered for her kind, joyful heart.

Jo Larson Reck says
Dear Vern, Ann, and family~
My heart aches for the loss of your dear, sweet Amy. I’ve known her since she was just a little girl playing with my niece, Shelley, out in Maryview Addition. Then I had the pleasure of rekindling our friendship when I painted the interior of her ” farm house” a few years ago. We had some fun conversations during that time, and lots of laughter! I will remember her fondly~
Nothing I can say can ease the pain you are feeling; just know you are in my thoughts and on my heart in the days and weeks ahead. May you find a tiny bit of comfort in the precious memories you hold in your heart, and be grateful for the years you were blessed to share with her.
Much love and deepest sympathy,
Joey Larson Reck

To the Hahn Family- I am deeply sorry for your loss. Amy was a character! Bright, funny, and kind. We played on the golf team together and as my sister said….Prince….led a lot of our musical tales in the “Suburban” before and after our meets. I remember in highschool she read a book to my American Lit class demonstrating her clever and vibrant personality she brought to the words in the story. I will never forget that! I will never forget her! She will be so missed. Prayers for you all as you try to cope with her loss.
