Remembering Amy

Amy's heart was that more funding would be available for Ovarian Cancer research and treatment, as it is drastically underfunded compared to funding for other forms of cancer. As an expression of sympathy, please consider making a memorial contribution to the Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance at ocrahope.org.

Amy’s Pumpkin Cream Pie

"I have searched the Internet for years and years for my mom’s exact pumpkin cream pie recipe, and, despite being fairly good at research, could never find it! It is the only recipe I have of hers. (I wish I had her oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipe and some others to be sure.)"
