We are deeply saddened with your lost.  We will always remember Amy being a cheerful young lady and enjoyed watching her compete in (an out of) the pool.

Our deepest condolences,

Amy was one of my first friends at the UW. To the extent you can be popular in graduate school, Amy was popular. We took Education as a Moral Endeavor together fall quarter, and it’s difficult to think of a time she wasn’t laughing with a group of people surrounding her. I remember Amy that quarter as someone who would take the time to check in on me during class, even when she had plenty of other people to talk to and we still didn’t know each other well. Over the course of that quarter and the next, we became closer and helped each other navigate our new lives in Seattle by exercising and then reversing all the benefits of exercising with big bowls of udon. She took me swing dancing  even though I’m a social liability when I dance. She remembered to take pictures of me on my birthday so I have those memories to keep. We had plans for spring quarter to help each other through statistics, jog the Burke Gilman trail, and reward ourselves with baked goods after. Amy was vibrant. She lit up my life even for a short time. I’m so sad for her and her loved ones, and so grateful for the joyful moments we shared. 

Bac Lien, Bac Tuan, Eric, and Brandon,

I am so terribly sorry for the loss of LanAnh. I will always remember her as my sprightly little cousin who perpetually had a smile on her face and a pep in her step. I will miss our conversations about Harry Potter, Disneyland, and reminiscing about our childhood together. Our world is now missing a beautiful and kind soul. I pray for LanAnh and for your family to find peace. If I can ever do anything to help, please let me know. Sending all my love, and sharing in your sadness. 

I’ve known Amy for almost all of her life. As one of her many cousins, I still remember all of the shenanigans that we would get into along with all the pretend adventures we would embark together during the summers. Her positive energy along with her laughter will sorely be missed especially during family gatherings for the holidays. She was  also a very strong fighter and have endured many challenges in her life. Where ever she is now, she is in a better place and I know she will carry along with her  that positive energy and caring personality.

I met my second cousin, Amy Lam, who I refer to as “my niece,” (given our age difference), twice. The first time was at the home of her parents’, Lynn and Tuan Lam, when she was a small child, for a Têt family meal. There was a small roasted pig on the dining table and she innocently inquired, “Why doesn’t the pig say, “oink, oink?” 

The second time was 23 years later in SF at my cousin, Andrew’s going-away luncheon in May 2018.  I was struck by Amy’s “sparkle.” 

We had a conversation about her interests, her plans to move to Seattle for graduate school, and about social justice issues. I immediately liked Amy.  I also met her devoted boyfriend Sean, who invited me to his family’s BBQ the following weekend. I learned that Amy and Sean knew one another since they were teenagers and became adventure partners in swing-dancing, travel, and life. 

Through FaceBook, Amy and I were able to continue our “conversation.” I liked Amy more and more and was grateful for Andrew’s “family reunion.” And through FaceBook, I learned that Amy passed away after a valiant, but arduous, health battle. 

My heart goes out to her parents, Lynn and Tuan, her two brothers, Eric and Brandon, her boyfriend, Sean, and my cousins, Nancy and Andrew, who loved Amy so deeply.

I had the pleasure of knowing Amy through swing dancing in the Bay Area. She and Sean always stood out to me as some of the most earnest, kind, smiley individuals on the dance floor. Even though we were never super close, conversations with Amy were never dull; she always went for deep questions that somehow still ended in laughter. Although it’s been several years since we last spoke, I know the world isn’t quite as bright without her smile and laughter in it. I hope she finds peace (and dancing!) where she is now, and I hope Sean and her family find peace in her memory.
