My sincere condolences to Amy’s family. I was a high school classmate of hers and although I did not know here as a close friend I did know that she was an extremely talented individual. After reading her eulogy I am amazed at the rich and rewarding life that she led. She had a servants heart and shared her passionate for and knowledge of music with many who were fortunate to have known her and been instructed by her. May her legacy as a shining light to so many live long, and may she rest in peace knowing that she made a difference to so many!

What an amazing human being! I met Amy when she was working on her master’s in horn performance. I had no idea how vibrant her life was and how many lives she touched. Truly a special person.

Amy was a truly remarkable, talented woman. We were school colleagues sin e 2nd grade. I wanted to play French horn because she played. I failed miserably. When we graduated from HS, as Valectororian she wanted to playa meaningful song on the guitar instead of giving the class speech. It was beautiful. ( I gave the speech.) Even with her intellectual and talent, she was always humble -- just Amy. I enjoyed seeing her in the UD and and alumni band. What a gift to all of us. A star on Earth and now in Heaven.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Amy was an amazing musician and dear friend. She loved my brass arrangements for the Brandywine Brass very much. May Amy rest in blessed repose and rise in glory to sing praise to God with all the Heavenly host. May our loving Lord send peace to her family and friends. Pax vobiscum...Baruch HaShem.

Laura and Dave, great job capsulizing an extraordinary life. I was proud to be he friend, and I miss her. I have too many memories to jot here. They mostly involve lots of laughter, nonsense being committed in various settings, intelligence (mostly on her part), music at times, and large quantities of beer.

So very sorry for your loss. We went to high school together and I was fortunate enough to see her at our 50th reunion. She was a intelligent woman and a great musician.

Amy was the most kind, caring, and warm person you could ever hope to meet. We would always share a laugh and a smile when we would play music together. Her absence will be felt so much.
