I want to convey my deepest sympathy to Amy's family on this terrible loss. I worked with Amy only for a limited time but always found her to be not just very good at her work, but kind and with a sense of humor.

I am a fellow Children's Meeting House mom and knew Amy from her volunteer time with the children and involvement in CMH. Amy always had a smile and spoke kindly to everyone, but especially to the children. Her soft voice was soothing and calming and her warm heart blazed brightly. I am so sorry for your loss. The girls and Rick will be in our family's prayers.

Naazy told me the news today. I did not know Amy, but I see and talk to her husband Rick once or twice a week. Hilary and I are so, so sorry for your loss. Considering the kind of person Rick is, I know that Amy must have been an incredibly special person. Our deepest condolences to Rick and the entire family.
