I only just heard that Amy passed. I am so terribly sorry for your loss. Ken Cohen

I met Amy while working for Jay the past 25 years. After years of upgraded technology, I didn´t get to talk to her as often, but what I do know is that she was an extremely smart, kind soul and I could hear her smile through the phone. She was a bright light in her family, and I was so sad to hear of her passing. She will be truly missed by everyone that knew her. My condolences to Jay, his children and his family.

Since first meeting Amy at the 2024 Bethesda Magazine Women Who Inspire event, we remained in touch, and I am deeply saddened to learn of her passing. I extend my heartfelt condolences to her family and friends. Amy was among the most gifted and compassionate journalists I have ever known, and she will be greatly missed.

Amy shined like the brightest star. My "first" niece was a joy to behold, a true gift to our family. Always a defender of truth and justice. GOD gave her a soul and spirit that fought for those that couldn't. I will miss her smile, her laugh at my dry humor and most of all her call" uncle Lance, time to carve the turkey" on Thanksgiving. My world and that of her aunt Mona has become less bright with her passing.

Amy and I grew up next door to each other and I remember walking to Cold Spring Elementary together everyday. I will always cherish the memories I have of Amy in high school and college. She was a wonderful friend and I will miss her.
