I was with family last night and my niece works for ABT in administration. Our conversation led to thoughts of Amy. How remarkable to think of her this Thanksgiving after so long. We were distantly acquainted as Buckley parents and through some mutual friends. I always had tremendous respect and admiration for Amy, especially for her wit and intelligence. She was a remarkable woman. I wish her family a happy Thanksgiving.

I think of Amy often, not just on Thanksgiving, when she in 2011 was so tragically taken away from loving family and friends, but also from the bright future which awaited her. It is a tribute to the love Amy and Tad shared that Tad did such a fine job as a single Dad raising James and Christina. Much love from Aunt Sharon Flynn, November 21, 2023

Tad and family - So very very sorry for your loss. I remember Amy from our college days as such a vibrant and sunny spirit. The two of you were such a great couple, and I'm sure have been great parents to James and Christina. Please know your many classmates, even those you may barely remember, are thinking of you at this heartbreaking time.

I met Amy in 7th grade at the first Brearley/Collegiate make-out party at Emily Chase's house -- at which, of course, she was a major social force, which she continued to be in all our lives as we grew up.

She was a close and supportive friend growing up in NYC and then in Boston when she was at Harvard and I was at Boston University.

My thoughts and prayers are with her family and other friends.
