Amy and Joan were the best of friends since their years together in the Peace Corps in the '60s in Bolivia. They traveled together through many countries with Amy always acting as translator no matter where they were because Amy's facility with languages was astounding. Despite her own diminished health status, Amy was still able to talk briefly on the phone to Joan before she died and send her a note letting her know how much she loved her. Amy was a loving and generous friend. I will miss her.

Dear Amy (Aimicita),


You were always a part of our family. We knew you for many, many, many years and we loved and deeply respected you. We have so many wonderful memories with you in our lives. We cannot forget all the times that you came to visit us in DC, the times that we met in NY or at your home in NJ. We shared many good times and hard times. You came to DC to see our mother Dolly when she was very sick at the hospital during one of the worst winter storms in 2010. Your visit made her feel much better. We were not able to go see you because of the pandemic, but you would always stay in touch with us and you were in our thoughts all the time. We will miss talking on the phone every week.


We'll miss you very much, 


Jorge, Edgard, Alejandro, Susy, Pepper, Salt, Bosco, and Maxi Asin-Capriles - your Bolivian family
