Amie Cohen Obituary

To the Cohen and Hirsch families,

My daughter Hannah is a student at SSDS. She had a very traumatic experince that effected her behavior at home and school. Amie's commitment to Hannah and myself was amazing. I don't know what I would have done without her. Her smile, humor, kindness and gentle soul are appreciated more than words can express. Amie devoted so much energy to Hannah and was there for her no matter what. She kept me going when I didn't know what to do. You have my deepest sympathy. The world was a better place when Amie was in it. I will miss her.

I met Amie when I started working at Jewish Children's Bureau in Northbrook. The first day I started Amie came up and introduced herself. She was one of the warmest people that I have met. She was a wonderful social worker and when she decided to leave to dedicate herself more to her family many of her clients were extemely sad. She was as beautiful inside as she was outside. My deepest sympathy to her family.

Dear Cohens,

I first met Amie at Ramah when I was a junior counselor and she was a senior counselor. That fall, I started at University of Michigan, where Amie was a senior. She was like a mother to us "Ramah freshman", inviting us to her apartment for Shabbat dinner and always being a friendly face at Hillel and on campus.



Over the past 8 years we were on staff together again, this time with our families. Our daughters were in the same cabin last year.

I was always so impressed by Amie's dedication to Ramah, her job, and her family. Her warm personality opened everyone's hearts. We are still coming to terms with this tremendous loss. Hamakom yinachem etchem betoch she'ar avalei tzion v'yerushalayim.

To Amie's family,

We met Amie through our son Tom when they were both at Ramah and we immediately became friends. We were priviliged to attend her wedding and the bat mitzvah of Rachel. We will truly miss her.

Tom,

I am very sorry to hear of the passing of your wife Amie. I only can say that you and your family are in my prayers during your time of sorrow. God bless. Rick

Dear Rachel and the Cohen family:

I first met your mom when I was around 7 years old and she was my big sister Mayira's Rosh Aidah at Ramah. When we met up again later I was on staff, and I had the privilege of sharing meals, meetings, and other aspects of day to day work at Ramah with her. She treated me as an adult when other members of the staff did not, a kindness so singular I have never forgotten it. I watched her help countless staff and campers work through all sorts of problems. When your mom was up at camp, it meant there was always a friend to talk to. She will be missed by countless people, young and old, from Ramah and from home, friends and family alike. My sister and I will be among that list of people. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

To the Hirsch and Cohen families, I wanted to extend my deepest and most heart felt sympathies. I just learned of Amie's passing, and was so saddened by the news. Amie and I were close friends in High School, and ran into each other many times over the years. I have the fondest memories of her and our time together as she was a kind and gentle sole. She will be greatly missed. I send you all my thoughts and prayers.

To the Hirsch and Cohen Families. I was very sad to hear about Amies passing. I was a camper when she was on staff at Ramah. I had the chance to see Amie a few years ago at our reunion. It was a wonderful time to talk about camp memories and to catch up on what had happened over the last 20 years. She had the most wonderful smile! She was a such a special person,caring , kind and concerned about others and a great listener.

She will be missed.

So very sorry to have read about the loss of your beloved daughter, Amie. I do remember our great conversations at Dr. Baly's office

about the love you have for Amie and the

grandkids. I extend my deepest sympathies to you and the family. I was so heartfelt to have seen Amie's name in the obituaries that I Just gasped! Again, my heart aches for you. Your friend, Francine Locascio. (Dr. Bayly's former secretary)

To the Hirsch and Cohen Families, I had not seen Amie in almost 20 years until I saw her 2 summers ago at Camp. What a pleasure it was to sit and talk with her about our past (SSDS, CR and Israel) and our present. May God comfort you, together with the rest of the mourners of ZION. May Amie's memory be a blessing to all of us.

Elana,

Although we never met your mother, Rebecca always talked about her in such positive words making us feel as if we knew her. We know that Amie must have had so many wonderful and special qualities. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, and we trust that Amie's memory will bring you comfort.

Amie was a social worker at camp ramah as well as at schechter. I worked closely with her at camp as my year on camp ramah staff. she was a kind and generous person, always giving and loving. She will truely be missed. may her soul be bound in the bond of everlasting life. Z"L

When I was a counselor at Camp Ramah for two summers, I experienced firsthand Amie's guidance, patience and wisdom. Her kind and professional attitude towards her work inspired me to pursue a career in Social Work. May God comfort you, together with the rest of the mourners of the world. May Amie's memory be a blessing.

Rachel and the Cohen Family-



Our deepest sympathies and love to your family. You will have support from everyone here at camp. We are thinking of you everyday.

I just wanted to express my most profound sympathy to all of Amie's family. We were close friends in high school. I've never met a kinder, or more giving person than Amie and just knowing she no longer graces our world makes it a poorer place. I'm so sorry.

Dear Tom and family,

I am deeply saddened by Amie's passing. I have fond memories of her bringing the kids to Sears to see their dad. I pray for your family and know that you will be granted strength to carry you through this difficult time.

I was shocked to hear of Amie's death. Amie assisted my daughter Talia at Sager Solomon Schechter this past yr. I spoke with her many times about my daughter. She was always so positive and told me that Talia reminded her of one of her daughters and that her personality would pay off even more later in life! Talia shared examples of sessions in which Amie was very fair and honest to children and teaching them to think about their words and actions and how they affect others.

We spoke several times about Camp Ramah and friends and people we had in common. I will miss her warm smile at school.

With deepest sympathy,

Dear Betty, Marty, Tom, Rachel, and Elana,

My heart felt sympathy. I loved Amie as I do your whole family. I am with you in your pain. I will be out of town this weekend but you all will be in my prayers as well as Josh and Michael's.

Love, Janice, Josh, and Michael
