In memory of amy cottrell
DEDICATED MOTHER, WIFE, SISTER, FRIEND!
Amy Cottrell was diagnosed with Melanoma in 2016. After various treatments , a time period of remission and then a tough battle at the end, Amy's earthly life ended in January 2021. Amy's life was so much more than cancer! It's not who she was! Cancer was something that she experienced and fought, but not something that defined her! We would like to share with you the Amy that we knew, loved and feel is still very present in our lives and work with The Outcome every day!
After sharing the initial ideas and hopes for the "Shark in the Park" event with Amy prior to her passing, she was ELATED! Amy wanted nothing more than to pour positivity into others, especially children. Although we are broken hearted that Amy is not here to celebrate with us we have been blessed to be joined by her husband, children and family each year at this event. Her spirit is always there and always known by those that loved her. In her honor we hope this annual event will be an opportunity to put aside any troubles and rest in a moment of fun and joyfulness with one's family!

what's so great about sharks?? EVERYTHING!!
Some might say that the shark was Amy's spirit animal!
Sharks stand for guardianship, power and protection, which is exactly what we believe Amy is providing for her loved ones from her heavenly perspective!
Amy was a lover of children! She devoted the majority of her time to nurturing, supporting and pouring into not only her own children, but others in the community as well. As such, this event will promote positive, cherished moments among families and children in our communities.
