Laynie Jo Amos

Laynie Jo Amos, age 5, joined her two beautiful cousins, Lydia & Clara, in heaven on Saturday December 14, 2013.  She left this world surrounded by her parents, Kassi Milberg & Joseph Amos, immediate family and close friends at Gillette Children’s (Regions) Hospital in St. Paul, MN.  Laynie was born on August 7, 2008 in St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin the daughter of Kassi Milberg and Joseph Amos.

Laynie had the heart of gold and loved animals very much. Laynie and her sister Audrie were inseparable from the time they woke up until the time they went to bed.  Many memories, laughs, and joys were spent together.  Laynie loved her sister very much. Most days, you would find Laynie playing outside with her dogs-Twister & Ted, gerbil- Spike, horse-Bingo, cats-Tedo & Tink and watching her fish-Cookie.  If she was not with her parents, Laynie could be found with her grandparents, aunts/uncles, or cousins.  When Laynie, Clara, Easton, Audrie and Lydia were together, there wasn’t a moment without laughter filling the air.  Their love for each other was inexpressible and had to be witnessed to fully comprehend the depth of emotion.

Laynie leaves to celebrate her memory: her parents, Kassi Milberg and Joseph Amos, Amery, sister, Audrie Amos, Luck,  maternal grandparents, Tammy (Jack) Weber, Centuria, paternal grandparents, Joan Amos and Steve Amos, Centuria, cousin,  Easton Baxter, Centuria, Aunts, Kati (Mike) Pavek, Prescott, Kari Milberg (Troy Baxter) Centuria, Terri Jo (Adam) Amos Berklund, Cushing, Jennifer Schouten, Lady Lake, FL, uncle Jeremy Schouten, Centuria and many other loving family and friends.
