Amie Lee Vi Matulac Vertucci was born on March 17, 1975 in Mlang, Cotobato, Philippines, and died Thursday, October 9, 2008, at 12:10 pm, at the age of 33, in Columbus, Ohio. Amie is loved by so many, most of all by myself, by her Mom, Ledelia, by her brother, Allen Val, and by so many relatives and friends, many of whom knew and called her by her childhood nickname, Sunshine. She was with family and friends today, and we sang hymns, spoke softly to her, and prayed as she took her final breath.
Amie and I were married on April 7, 2001, in Queens, New York. We lived in Brooklyn for a year, then Staten island for one year. For the past five years, we've lived in the Columbus area, the last two and a half years of that time in Hilliard, Ohio, a suburb of Columbus.
In March of this year, we happily learned that Amie was pregnant. In July, she delivered our daughter, Bianca Hope, prematurely at nearly five months of pregnancy, and Bianca died. At the same time, she was diagnosed with stage IV stomach cancer, which eventually took her life. She loved people, loved to worship, and to serve the Lord and her brothers and sisters. In some way, each of you experienced that love, which was and is Christ's love in her.
