My heart goes out to all of you during this month of two great losses. I knew Amy from Mt Sinai and grew to respect and love her very much. Thinking of you all. Fran Epstein LCSW

My sincerest condolences to the Vance family on the passing of both Gay and Amy. They both were self-sacrificing women and we have all benefited from their substantial contributions to the community in New York and beyond. I was honored to have known Amy while in school at both Mt. Holyoke and Fordham Law and beyond and shall deeply miss her.

How we shall miss Gay. She was always herself-unflappable, and reasonable. She was a force for sanity at the Fortnightly. Best wishes to her family
