Not sure what to say?

I was shocked and deeply saddened to learn of Amber's passing. I knew her through the American Helicopter Museum and Educational Center. She was very passionate about the educational exhibits and workshops and provided wonderful ideas by working with the Educational Committee. I send my condolences to her family.

I am sorry for your loss. Amber and I worked together on the CSWA - I fondly recall her energy and advocacy for the astronomy community. She will be missed.

Eileen and family I am shocked to hear of Amber's passing..I have many fond memories of watching her grow up, her academic successes and her wedding with Derek.. you are all in my thoughts and prayers..sending love..

I'm so very sorry to hear about Amber's passing. She and I worked together on a gravitational waves outreach poster at the American Physical Society. It was awesome to watch her transform complex theories and data into language that high school students could understand. It's been many years since our paths crossed, but Amber made a deep impression on me with her desire to share her love of physics.

I am so sorry for your family's loss. Amber and I served on the AAS CSWA together and our committee sends its condolences. Amber was a very kind, genuine, and talented person and she will be greatly missed personally and professionally.

I am sending thoughts to all of you, and in particular to her husband, mom, and siblings. I was lucky enough to have met Amber at Villanova during my stay as a post-doc. She was a great colleague who was always very kind to me and helped me a lot in the classes we taught together. I, like many others in academia, will forever remember her as the great person she was.

I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear of Amber's passing. I was a colleague of Amber on the American Astronomical Society's Committee on the Status of Women in Astronomy (CSWA). We worked together extensively in the past few years and I was impressed by her devotion, compassion, and commitment to reaching out to groups of astronomers from historically marginalized groups. She made a real difference in the lives of many of her colleagues. Most importantly, she was a warm and caring...

I was so saddened to hear of Amber's passing. I was a member of her Penn State Ph.D. thesis defense committee back in 2006, and I distinctly remember being impressed by her work and by her command of the physics. And of course there was the prospect of detecting gravitational waves, which would eventually be spectacularly realized (so glad she got to be a part of this). My heartfelt sympathies to all her loved ones.

So so so sorry to hear about Amber's passing -- we all remember her from her grad student days here at Penn State, and then going on to a great LIGO career and educating generations of young students. Prayers from all of us at PSU. If someone might be able to share an address for me to send a condolence/sympathy card, I'd appreciate it as would many of my colleagues here.
