Author Description

Amy Valentine was an Austin-based 42-year-old stay-at-home wife and mother of two who had just begun a children's cooking business when she was diagnosed with Stage III bilateral breast cancer. She and her husband Greg were supported by family and friends with special thanks to her wonderful parents, Irv and Jane Smith, who spent countless days caring for the children, taking her to the doctor and providing food and comfort. Her caring brother Paul came to all doctor appointments and chemo sessions that Greg couldn't attend. The family's expansive network of friends provided daily care, from bringing meals, visiting Amy in chemo, stopping by to visit after surgeries, doing laundry, taking care of the children, and many other acts of kindness too numerous to mention.
