    I am in total disbelief. She was so kind to me every single time we spoke whether it was personal stuff or business related. Just a bright sunbeam of a person. The fact she is gone is impossible to understand right now and the fact it was her husband that murdered her is something I just cannot fathom. Nothing makes any sense right now.

    EDIT...

    Here is the link to the Go Fund Me page to help her family with "the costs for cremation, a celebration of life ceremony, counseling, and future legal costs."

    I just found out a few minutes ago. I'm literally nauseous. It's so disgusting and horrible.

    I can’t believe it. She was one of the coolest people in the hobby, always a pleasure to deal with. Lulubell was my favorite place to buy toys for years. I’m sad, angry and shocked.

    This is absolutely devastating.
    I only recently started talking to Amy and was immediately in awe of her presence and dedication.

    She was an amazing person and this is a profound loss for the community. I’m grateful I got to bask in her light, although not nearly long enough.

    Please reach out to Luke. He will need help right now. I’m not sure how to get a hold of her kids, but hopefully someone can reach out to them and let them know toy folks are thinking about them too.

    I am just seeing this news now, and am utterly at a loss. I don't have words to describe losing such a fantastic person, but especially in such a terrible and senseless way. Sad doesn't begin to cover it. I feel sick to think she was taken from this world like this. Amy was an incredible person, so helpful, passionate, and full of life. It was always a pleasure to speak with her, if only remotely. The loss to us all and the community is huge. After Connell's passing I did not think we could take another hit like this. You wake up one day, and know things will just never be the same. Our world is lesser and muddier after this event. My sincere condolences go out to all her loved ones and friends, especially Luke and her children. She will be deeply missed. :cry:

    Such sad news. Amy was indeed a kind and welcoming person. We would see her from time to time selling at the local flea market with her friends, This is such a tragic turn. My heart goes out to her family and friends. I hope Robert and Luke are doing okay.

    I got a gift from her in the mail just a couple of days ago and I was too busy with work to even thank her yet. Which I guess isn't even true because it would have only taken a minute to do it. You think you have time but you never really know. Fuck.

    Nate alerted me of Brian's post then I searched for the news link. Last time I saw her was at a D-Con pre-pandemic. We always came by the Lulubell booth to say hi. I always remember her as being so tall but she would always scoot down lower to talk to me since I am so short. Makes me smile knowing she didn't want to loom over me. She was thoughtful and kind and to lose her to such violence is difficult to accept.

    The world sucks a little more with Amy not in it!

    I was just saying in the Luke Rook topic that Amy was always around the corner to sort things out at Lulubell... So sad to hear it won't be the case anymore...
    Life can be so f.cking unfair...
    We will miss you Amy.

    I'm stunned. This is unbelievably tragic. Amy was always great; only got to meet her in person once, but had many good exchanges with her over the years, most recently during the GHG project. As many have said, a kind, warm bright light and a driving force in the toy community. So deeply sad and senseless. May her kid that had to witness the violence get all the love and support he needs to get through that unimaginable trauma.

    RIP Amy.

    Three women are killed every day by an intimate partner in the US.

    Make sure to check in on the folks around you.

    Absolutely heartbreaking. I didn't know her personally but she seemed like a nice, loving person and people always spoke highly of her. Really hope the kid is OK or gets the help they need.

    Outside of a few Instagram messages, I didn't have any contact / know Amy/Lulubell. Still, just unbelievably sad; and her poor son being present and seeing her like that...

    This shockingly mad. I didn't have any contact with Amy in years either but remember just as well her golden candor.
    My condolences to all in this community.

    Amy was one of the first people I reached out to at Lulu when I began collecting, and was always kind and warm hearted in our correspondence. It seems like there are far too many people like her, and now there's one less. I hope she is in peace.
