Amy continued, “I was a mess that day, and even though it was a celebration of her life it was still probably the hardest day I've ever had. Not a day has gone by where I don't think of her. She wasn't just a grandma to me but more of a best friend. She was so so loved... and I'll cherish every memory I have of her.”

The former Counting On star shared an emotional message about her grandma in August when she took a trip to Mary’s home. “Not one day has gone by that I don't miss her. I wish I could call her, get her opinion on things, go get ice cream and spend the day together,” she began.

At the time, Amy was pregnant with her son, Daxton Ryan. “She loved the name Dax Ryan and she was so excited about our little guy. Maybe I'm just an emotional basket case right now (hello hormones) but I miss her a little extra today. I miss everything and it's so hard to believe that she's gone,” she said.

“I know she's in a much better place but still so hard to believe that she's no longer with us. Hug your loved ones close. I mean very close. Tomorrow isn't promised to anyone,” Amy wrote.
