Amy was such a positive influence in our community. Her generous personality and passion for music, community and youth was amazing. I loved the time that I spent working with her on 4th Wall Music projects and loved to see her creativity, wit, artistic inspiration and desire to connect with musicians and community members across our area.
She was an amazing player and I always enjoyed performing with her or watching and hearing her play in the Flint and Windsor symphonies. She brought an energy and passion to her playing that was infectious and was a pleasure both for her colleagues and all of her many students.
Amy will be dearly missed by so many across our local community and even farther across the continent. I send all my best wishes to Andrew, Dylan and Fiona and all of Amy's extended family. She left too soon but left us with memories of much joy and love.

My deepest condolences to the whole family.
I met Amy when I moved to Windsor 20 years ago. I was looking to re-kindle my love for the harp, and I was lucky to find Amy, who became not only my harp teacher but a close friend. Her love of life and music was captivating, and I always felt welcome and happy when we had our lessons with tea. Her mastery of the harp was an inspiration for me, her other students and everyone who was fortunate enough to hear her play.
Her determination and desire to make the world a better place will never be forgotten.
May her memory be a blessing

Dear Andrew, Dylan and Fiona, my family was so saddened to hear of Amy's passing. She was the harpist at our daughter's wedding ceremony in September 2017. She was such a talented musician and an absolutely beautiful lady inside and out. My daughter and I to this day remember her elegance, infectious smile, her warmth and love of music. And yes, the way she performed "Pachabel's Cannon in D" at the wedding was beyond extraordinary and so memorable. How blessed you were to have had her in your lives. Sending you comfort and our deepest condolences.

I will miss Amy. She was graceful and kind. She was generous and thoughtful. She was a talented creative. She had an unwavering desire to do her best. She was a regular in my yoga classes and I attended as many 4th Wall concerts as I could. I was always happy to cross paths with her in the neighbourhood and be blessed with one of her radiant smiles. Deepest condolences to her family as well as all the people who loved her and whom she loved.

Dear Andrew, Dylan, & Fiona,
I shared many special moments with Amy while onstage with her in Flint and at other gigs. How I will miss her beautiful playing and shining personality- it is hard to imagine the “Freeway Philharmonic” without her. I so enjoyed commiserating and contemplating with her- she always had a smile and radiated good will no matter what was happening around her on stage. Grace under pressure doesn’t even begin to describe it. She was such a bright light in so many ways.
Sending you and all who knew her comfort during this difficult time.

I've spent many a Saturday morning sitting on your living room rug, watching squirmy little children plunk out their scales. What I wouldn't give to be there again, watching you teach and work your magic.
Amy, I hope you know just how much you mean to all those little kids and their parents. You not only gave them the gift of music, but the gift of grit, perseverance, bravery. We learned that it's ok to make mistakes. We learned how to try even if we weren't entirely confident. And we learned that the polished piece at the end is nice to have - but the real treasure was the journey and the things we learned to get there.
To say we are devastated is an understatement. But in the grief I hope your family can appreciate how absolutely loved you are by so many. Rest well, Amy. Eddie, Odette and Eliette will always remember to take small bites of the hamburger and not shove it all in their mouths (iykyk ❤️)

Amy believed in me when I was unsure. She could lift me out of any rut with her positivity and with the way her beautiful spirit filled the room like a weighted hug. She wasn't afraid to share her thoughts with me when she needed a friend. We talked about our families, our dreams, our gigs, our worries. I could talk to her about anything... and the way her face would light up... and. that. smile. She held me close enough to meet her beautiful kids and husband. Oh how she loved you two, Dylan and Fiona. She always felt she was learning how to be a better mom to both of you. She worked hard at being better at it.
To Amy's mother, I'm so *incredibly* sorry for my confusion on Friday morning.
We had some fun times, Amy Ley. I hope you are out there somewhere, exploring all those routes of endless possibility that you would talk about. You deserve all the freedom and all the light.

Dear Andrew, Dylan, and Fiona,
I am so sorry for your loss. Amy was such a a light in the world. I treasure the memory of our Mozart concerto in Flint. Fiona, you were born in the middle of our preparation for that concert. Your mom was juggling so many things at the time and she made it work! Amy was the sweetest and gave so much of herself. I wish you peace and love.
Love,
Laura Larson
