Amy Brader Leach

I just learned today of Amy's passing last October. I was one of Amy's friends and "metals/jewelry cohorts" while we attended college together at SUNY New Paltz. Amy was one of the kindest and most generous souls I have EVER met. We stayed in touch via FB and IG through all these years.

Amy's memory and legacy will forever be a blessing to those of us fortunate enough to have had her touch our lives. I am deeply grateful to count myself among those people.

I have been trying to find words that I simply don´t have. I am stunned and shocked and sad. I have been running memories of my shared experiences with Amy from 1986 until now through my mind and heart on repeat. She was a very special human with a seemingly bottomless vat of generosity. She gave. To family, friends and community. My thoughts are with all of you wonderful Braders, and of course Eric, as you navigate life without her. Sending so much love.

We are so saddened to hear of Amy's passing. She was so creative and talented and gave so much to our community. She will be missed dearly!
