My heart dropped when I heard of Amys' passing. We were
Good friends in high school. I always remember Amy for her
Light heart, humor, intelligence and beauty. When I saw Amy at our 30th reunion a few years ago I noticed how genuine and compassionate she was. I am truly sorry for the loss of such a
Wonderful woman. Steve and family, and the Doppelt family, you are all in my prayers

I have given Amy a monthly massage since August of 2005. I saw her 4 weeks ago and was expecting to see her tonight. I am so saddened to find that she is gone. I will miss her very much. She was a beautiful and amazing woman. I feel lucky to have known her and to have been able to share a time and space to relax and let go. My love to all

Amy and I became friends after Smith College; our alumnae connection was strong. Amy was inspiring, not only for her achievements in life, but for her philosophical and graceful attitude about her illness. Our 30th college reunion is next year; Amy's spirit will be with us. I send my love and support to Amy's family for their loss of this very special person.

I was also at Nicolet High School with Amy--we had a lot of classes together, and she could always be counted on to provide a great wisecrack or meaningful insight. We were both "older" brides and had a lot of fun sharing our stories about that at our last reunion. She was a wonderful, smart, warm person and will be greatly missed. To her family, my thoughts are with you on this profound loss.

I am very sorry to hear of Amy's passing as well. She was a year behind me at Nicolet High school and was a very nice person. I ran into her at a recent Nicolet reunion and she was delightful to talk to. She will be missed!

I was so sorry to hear of Amy's passing. We were friends at Nicolet High school and my memories of her are filled with laughter. Amy was lovely - smart, friendly, kind and good-natured. I am certain that those qualities stayed with her always. She and her family are in my heart and prayers.

Amy was my dear dear friend - a year behind me at Smith College. Our paths diverged. I have thought about her so very often with love and cherished memories. You have my heartfelt sympathies on the tragic loss -- someone so wonderful at such an early age.

To Amy's family and her dearest love Steve,

Amy Doppelt was the epitome of grace and leadership. Her commitment to the empowerment and opportunity for all women was evident in her many activities and how she lived her spectacular life. Amy served as a founding board member for Women's Initiative San Francisco. She lived by example and has enriched our community and ensured that women had hope and opportunity. Amy will be missed tremendously, AND, she will be celebrated by our community of women for years to come. Her legacy lives on in the lives of hundreds of women and families. Please know that she will be in our hearts always.
