Amelia E. Perry

The memories of Amelia still make me smile; such a kind and gifted spirit. It has been a privilege to have met her.

Amelia still crosses my path through her scientific work as well as memories - the spontaneous pancake party to which she invited her fellow students comes to mind with pancake day not far away.

I knew Amelia as Will when I attended PROMSY 5 summers ago, and it hurts so much when I heard that one of my favorite counselors at PROMYS, Amelia, passed away. She was such an inspiration and an awesome role model at PROMYS. I remember going to her counselor lectures and being fascinated by math and how talented she was. I remember asking her for help on my problem sets and she was always incredibly patient. It's a huge loss of the math community that we lost Amelia, but we gained an angel in heaven that watches over us. I'll never forget summer 2013 when I went to PROMYS, but more importantly I'll never forget Amelia. I feel so lucky to have met her, and I extend the most sincere condolences to the Perry family.

It is very sad to hear about Amelia passing away. She was an inspiration. It was a privilege to teach her, and to be taught about life by her.

Amelia meant so much to me, and to everyone who ever got to meet her. I am lucky to have been able to count her among my friends, and my heart goes out to all those who held her close, and now continue with her fight without her there. I will never forget her, and I know that others who met her will feel the same.

What an impressive life and journey! I remember Amelia from CCHS although I spent more time with Caroline in Spectrum and class and theater. I also remember Nicola at CCHS. My heart grieves for all of you and your family and friends. We in Spectrum, CCHS' gay straight alliance have made great strides in making CCHS a safer space for students of all genders and identities - we have even sponsored LGBT dances in recent years which have been well attended. It makes her life all the more impressive that she built such a loving supportive community around her and faced down hate and discrimination with love and humor. I wish we had found a way for her to speak to Spectrum in recent years...

I am thinking of you all.
Love Ben Kendall
