Amy Finklestein shared the following thoughts at Chabad at Stanford’s memorial for Amir, March 29, 2004.

I found out about the accident – I started thinking about where I knew Amir from – we went to Brown together – we were both a part of the Jewish community there… as soon as I saw him at Stanford – people were already looking for him, because Daniel had told them to – I was looking out for him.
Recently it really feels like I saw him a lot…
When I read Dov’s email, I thought about a conversation Friday night at David Singer’s – there were 4 or 5 of us – and Jen brought up Amir – and this was one of the most positive conversations about a person I have ever been a part of – it was almost like a five minute speech about how wonderful Amir was; I feel really good knowing there was this great conversation about how great he is; somehow it makes me feel a little better knowing he was on his way out of the world with all these positive thoughts about him…
