Amy McCain Hasselbring passed away unexpectedly in her sleep on Monday, October 12th at her home in Eustis, FL, where she and her family have lived since 1993. Joyous, warm, and loving, Amy was the devoted mother of Zoey Hasselbri Read Obituary
Amy and I worked together at Maguire, Voorhis & Wells and Akerman. I can still hear her special laugh. She drove into downtown Orlando from Eustis everyday. I thought I heard from her this morning, spiritually, and am deeply saddened to see that Amy passed last Fall. Amy supported me professionally and personally, and pray that she has the special place in eternity that she so deserves.
So sorry to read about Amy's passing. I have many fond memories of her from Principia Upper School - running Gavel Bar and long talks into the wee hours of the morning. I regret losing contact with her, however, she made my time at Upper School one of the best experiences of my life. Years may pass, but memories and her love never fade.

Amy was my high school friend. Although we were not close in recent years, we had a long in person talk several years ago, during which her love for her children was the main topic. May you continue to feel that true love forever, and share it unreservedly. ❤️
Thank you for many great years Amy.
Amy was my best friend. She was always there for me and I for her. Now she is held in God’s ever present arms. Sylvia Naylor
Dear sweet Amy you will be missed so much by your family that loved you. I had the privilege to know you and will remember you as a beautiful person. We are so sorry to lose you too soon. Marlene and John Forster.
As a young man, I was wound up pretty tight. As such, when someone in the Principia Upper School Administration matched Amy and I up to attend the junior year prom, I was incredibly nervous about the event. However, I needn't have been as Amy as able to quickly put me at ease with her sweet, cheerful personality, giving me one of the most enjoyable dates of my entire life.
A year later, we were once again matched up, this time to perform a scene from Thornton Wilder's "Our Town". Ms. Koesler, the drama teacher, would later admit that she had chosen this love scene for me (rated "G", of course) because she had sensed that this scene would stretch me to go beyond my naturally rather bashful disposition in order to become "Gregarious George", the marital suitor of "Emily", who would be played by Amy.
Once again, I don't think I could have ever gotten over my incorrigible shyness if Ms. Koesler had not staged me against someone like Amy, who's constantly supportive and calming personality, as well as her infectious laughter, eventually allowed me the freedom and confidence to thereafter "own the role of George", a character who, in fact, was clearly my antithesis. Anyhow, suffice it to say that when the two of us ultimately performed this act in front of a good-size audience, both of us were ultimately able to perform our respective roles flawlessly.
Amy, the personal sentiments that I just expressed were likely universally experienced by everyone whose life you touched. Your inner beauty was just off-the-charts. That is why you were so loved by all and will be missed by all.
My best to you on your spiritual journey, going forward!
