Aimee was a gifted journalist with a passion for baseball that was unmatched by any. She wowed crowds at karaoke nights while performing Janis Joplin's "Piece of My Heart." She was funny, brilliant and beautiful — inside and out.
Aimee was 38 years old when she suffered two strokes. The second stroke left her in a rare permanent condition known as "locked-in syndrome." She could not move or speak, but was aware of everything going on around her. The only way for her to communicate was by blinking her eyes. When her condition was explained to her, she let her family know she did not want to live her life hooked up to a ventilator unable to walk, talk, move or feed herself. When asked to close her eyes if she wanted to be an organ donor, she did so immediately.
Aimee saved three lives the day she died. Her family is so proud of the sacrifice she made to help others. Her legacy is profound and will never be forgotten.
