Individual Details
Amy Moss Ashton
(16 Mar 1923 - 8 Oct 2021)
My mom, Amy Post-Jannese, was always the country girl, she got up early and loved the sun, the flowers and trees. So, it was no surprise really that she chose to leave this life on October the 8th at 6am on a very bright and sunny morning -- always one to get up early and get on her way.
She was and will always be the most amazing and wonderful person that I will ever know in my life. I was blessed beyond words to have her as my mother and I am so grateful for every moment I had with her. I will miss her for the rest of my life, though I know that the hole in my heart that I feel right now will be filled with her spirit and memory till the end of time, though I know that every time I hold one of my children, one of my grandchildren... or great grand or for however many generations that follow her that I get to hold in my life I will be holding her too, though I know all that, right now the world feels like an emptier place and I just selfishly want to hold my mom.
She was an incredible human being who made friends wherever she walked, who always wanted to make people laugh, who had ideas and beliefs beyond the scope of her own era, embracing everyone for who they are, welcoming and understanding, a best friend, a caring mother and grandmother, great grandmother and great-great grandmother. She hung onto life long enough to see the arrival of her 9th great-great-grandchild come into this world which was one of the last times I saw her smile, or her chuckle as she said "Oh, what a beautiful baby!"
We must now learn how to stop the tears, unless they are tears of joy, and celebrate the life that belonged to Amy Post-Jannese for 98 years, 6 months, and 22 days. She laughed and danced and sang and enjoyed life right to the last few days.
It's hard. It's unbelievably painful to know we can't just pick up the phone and call her, to hear her wisdom, and her laughter, but we must. Because that is what she wanted.
She would always say: "Don't say have a great day. Say have a great life because that's full of great days!"
