English language manga and anime is more the poorer for the loss of such a fine talent, still it's nothing in comparison to the loss felt by her family and friends. May God grant them strength to endure their grief and may God bless her soul and may His perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace.

I knew Amy back in college over at NJIT(she went there for a couple of years) and I remember spotting a few pages of her work on the Cowboy Bebop manga on her home PC.

Amy's early death probably had to do with the fact that she was a dwarf and there are a number of cardiac and liver problems associated with dwarfism.

RIP, even though you moved away from NJ I always got a kick out of seeing your name in credits.

I don't know why I never posted anything in this forum. Perhaps because I was the one who originally sent the news to the editor or because I had already posted a comment for her family on the obituary site.

In any case, for those of you who never met or worked with Amy, you should know she absolutely loved anime and manga and was something of a perfectionist. I used to run into her often at local Japanese eateries, where she never told the staff she was a translator or worked in our industry. She was quite modest like that.

I never saw her in a bad mood, and she was always glad to help me when I had questions on a script for a show we were working on - or even one she wasn't assigned to.

I will miss seeing her smiling face at the anime screenings here in town. Thankfully, her work will live on in the manga and anime she translated for all of us to enjoy.
