Amy [Amy31416] Memorial Thread

[Acala]

This.

If there is a fund set up for Meris I will help.

As will I. We could set up an education trust with Amy's brother as trustee. No offense to Kludge. Just honoring the likely preferences of the deceased.

[Brian4Liberty]

Something like an education trust? It might be worth something serious about the time she is graduating High School.

I was thinking the same thing. Amy would probably like the idea of a college fund. But how to set that up is problematic.

Not really. I have a call in to the funeral director asking for her brothers contact information. If that doesn't pan out I can probably find his contact info on the net and failing that I have the name of the family priest...

Step 2: set up a bank account.
Step 3: chipin or Paypal
Step 4: advertise and start a thread!

I am so upset that I did not realize Amy had this problem. I wish that I could have helped her. I should have seen the signs. Oh Amy RIP sweetie.

Is that her and Kludge?

[William Tell]

I am so sorry to hear this. Amy was so nice to many of us. She popped into the RPF chat room not that many weeks ago when I was in there. She said hi to me, she didn't mention that anything was wrong. This is very sad to hear, miss you Amy.

I certainly pray everything goes well for Meris, Kludge, and the rest of her family. The one way you can really honor the memory of someone wonderful is to try to help others, and do your best to fill the gaping hole she left in this world with her passing.

[tangent4ronpaul]

Is that her and Kludge?

I think that's her first husband or a BF. I don't know what Kludge looks like. Nearby pics seem 2006.

She was a hottie for sure! looks good in that outfit.

This is sad news.

She offered to send money to me once so I could buy pizza when I was in the Corps. That was sparked because I remarked about our low pay and chow halls not being open later in the evening. I never took her up on it...but I appreciated it.

[tangent4ronpaul]

Actually, I think that's Nick, a post doc she dated round 06-07. He was too clingy for her tastes.

speaking of education, she's had a broad one. Snippet from chat. No wonder she was like she was...

I always loved science and started out in college as a pre-med student...but I couldn't deal with the notion of dissecting a human being, so I sort of drifted and toyed with majoring in math, philosophy, physics, even botany...but then I had this amazing professor
he was a physical chemistry guy and it dawned on me that chemistry touched all the things that I'm interested in
so it was obvious then
I just wish I didn't hate academia so much, and the culture surrounding it, I'd have a PhD

So yeah, to whoever asked - she was a chemist.

She liked to make beer too. I think perfume at one point. She loved to experiment. Very curious mind.

She liked "space" and to spend a lot of time alone. Just like me.

Tragic news. She will be missed.

A toast to auld lang syne.

Does anyone know if she will also be in Laurel Hill Cemetery with her parents?

I found that Amy actually had her own account at findagrave and I would like to add a memorial for her.

Amy......you asked to see my paintings of giraffes because you love them too. I offered to paint one for your little girl....I started it...I'll finish it and get it to her somehow. You will always be in my heart.

"memorial" - you mean a tombstone? I'd definitely chip in for that, what do they cost anyway? Lets find out what the family is doing first... Maybe we could help pay. Hopefully a plot near her parents. Or she might be getting cremated and her ashes spread. She never talked about her wishes or her will in that regard.

Or were thinking about a wreath? Willing to chip in on that too!

Glad to see she has aunts and uncles. Much better chance for Meris getting adopted by her family.

Miss you sooo much Amy!

I was referring to the creation of an online memorial for her at FindAGrave.com, but I will also contribute to a headstone or whatever. Right now I don't even know if she was buried or cremated.

[Brett85]

I'm very sorry to hear this. I interacted with Amy several times on this forum. She always seemed nice. My thoughts and prayers go out to her friends and family.

[Danke]

Neither, both are taller than her. BF, maybe. First husband was thin too. Kludge is a big man.

If a family member is involved, then a 529 fund is probably what we want.

[Nirvikalpa]

I remember back in 08/09 we would voice chat with caseyjones, Petar, Mrocked, Jeremy, forsmant, and a lot of other people.. I haven't laughed much harder than when she would make a snide comment about one of us or make fun of me for being jewish. she had incredible wit and timing..

I remember talking to her about cooking and baking and sharing a ton of recipes and tips.. she was my go-to for this stuff for a long time.

I remember most recently how much she loved her daughter.. I could tell so clearly that meris was the most important thing in her life. I enjoyed how much she adored her daughter and enjoyed spending time with her.. I cant understand that shes actually gone though.. it is not something I have comprehended all at once.

Good friggin' times, I'll never forget those video chats.

Amy and I had a lot of talks about women in science, ones I still fall back on to this day.

Meris is going to be one hell of a handful, in the best way possible

[helmuth_hubener]

Yes, I agree. It would be fairly easy. I could help if it is wanted.

[Uriel999]

If a chip-in happens let me know! I am in!

Was she really a chemist by profession? I recall she was. Only chemist I've ever known.

"process-scientist" was the title on the resume I read
