We met Amy three years ago while she was still an undergrad at Bentley and were impressed by both her smarts and infectious, positive personality. Her ever-present smile and caring nature made her a favorite friend of everyone here. We are extremely saddened at her passing and for her family who is very close to us.
We know the detectives from the Boston Police Department are working hard to help make sense of this horrific event and hope that no one has to experience this kind of loss."
Lord lived in South Boston.
