Amy was one of the people that gave me the courage to switch careers into fashion. She was always so great to me when I was in the store or at SOWA market. Thanks for being so inspirational. Rest in peace kind soul.

Just so sorry for this loss. What a beautiful, cool, funny, deep, great gal Amy was.

Amy was among the first people I met, freshman year at MassArt. Then we were ceramic majors together. She was always kind, funny, and outspoken. It's terrible that her life was cut short, but as long as we still have our memories of her, she is never truly gone. To her loving family, you have my sympathies.

I remember Amy as ten-year-old classmate of my younger daughter, after her family moved into our West Orange community. The quality that impressed me about her then (and thereafter) was her self-reliance. Amy appreciated things that other children took for granted. She displayed an emotional independence and maturity beyond her years. Amy was tall, fresh-faced and somewhat reserved, but with a wry sense of humor that made her delightful company. I noticed she was highly principled and expected likewise. Amy elicited a special empathy from me. Even after she moved, I had always hoped to see her as an adult. Though that hope expired with her untimely passing, I hope that her adult years were happy ones. She deserved nothing less.

Amy and I were friends at Putney. I will always remember her as a truly fun and original friend, with the most wonderful spirit. My heart goes out to her family.

Back in the 80s, Amy and I spent a lot of time hanging out together. She had a really cool low-key style and the most gorgeous hair. Though we lost touch over the years, I remember Amy and those times with great fondness. She passed way too soon. At the memorial service, play some music (Grateful Dead, Moody Blues) and serve birch beer. She'd have liked that. And Amy, if you're reading this guest book, thank you for being my friend. You made being a teenager a heck of a lot more fun.

Amy was a dear friend of my daughter's. She will be missed by her many friends and everyone who knew her. She was a good soul with a great sense of humor and a great eye. So very sorry for your loss, for our loss.

Amy was truly a unique individual with a beautiful and somewhat mischievous spirit. Creative and kind, sensitive and bold, funny... Although our last interaction was over five years ago, I've never forgotten that girl, and I never will. May her family and those who knew her well find peace in this sad time.

As a fellow vintage store owner, Amy was a great support to me. She had great wit and a sharp eye for style. I will miss the words of commiseration we shared. I am very sorry for your loss.

I was a frequent customer of Amy's when Artifaktori was in Davis Sq., Somerville. What a delightful, creative, attractive individual she was, and how much she added to the neighborhood! She had a style all her own. It's terrible when anyone dies so young, but when it's a person of her vision and individuality, she takes with her some of the light that this world needs so badly. My sincere wishes that her family, friends and loved ones will find comfort, somehow.
