Amy

Just a few minutes ago I was greeted with news that has me reeling in disbelief. Amy of highlandamy.com passed away. I found out from Anna, who knew her online. She found out from Becca, who actually knew her offline. I knew her — she commented on my blogs several times, and I visited hers. She was a member of Lavish — we all knew her there. She was an active and contributing member.

I never knew this woman in person, and probably never exchanged a private email with her, but I still find myself grieving for her loss, and aching for the pain her family is experiencing. I’m not ashamed to admit that I cried at the news of her death.

Amy, may you rest in peace. I will be thinking about and praying for your family.

I pass by but never say anything i just enjoy reading your blogs which often that not make me smile. Anyways, I didn’t know her but it’s still sad to hear that is she is no longer with us. My she rest in peace. The inet world is weird people leave and come back, disspear to never return [for whatever reasons], or remain under their own person lock and key someone dying is a shock whether you knew them or not.

Wow she lived in Virginia Beach. That’s where I live. I wonder how she died. It said she was having a baby in December. Did she have the baby?


Sarah, on January 21 2008 at 9:02am:

Gosh, that’s very sad. Any idea how she died? :(


inga, on January 21 2008 at 9:47am:

That IS very sad. I too would have cried as well. Sometimes, your online connects have that affect that you know them on a personal level, sort of. So, I would have been sad too. :-(

Oh my what a horrible thing that happened! May she rest in peace.

How sad. :(
Even though you’ve never met a person offline before, it still can be emotionally draining. You read about their day to day lives online, which gives you this feeling as though you personally know them. I feel for her family.. especially her daughter & husband.


Johanna, on January 21 2008 at 12:40pm:

I just read about this at Lavish, so sad even though I didn’t know Amy my heart is just all broken. :(

I’m sorry to hear about this., It just makes me wonder what type of person she was, and it looks like a happy person from her blogs and pictures. I’ll be thinking about you guys and her family and baby.


leslie, on January 21 2008 at 1:34pm:

Do you have any idea how she died?


Bobbi, on January 21 2008 at 2:24pm:

This made me really sad. Even though I didn’t read her blog (I think I visited a few times, but not regularly) it is still sad to see that a family lost a loved one. All her friends and family will be in my prayers.


Gem, on January 21 2008 at 5:08pm:

I’m so sorry that something like that has happened to her :(
I was just reading some of her blogs and then thought that she’s not with us anymore and that we’ll never see another blog, she’ll never be able to experience all the things she should have been able to experience and that made me cry, even though I didn’t know her and never read her blog until now. May she rest in piece and stay forever in our hearts.


danielle, on January 21 2008 at 6:05pm:

Wow, I remember seeing her on Lavish. This is really sad news :(


Rebecca, on January 21 2008 at 6:47pm:

It’s terrible news. I read about it on Lavish earlier and I didn’t know the face by the name (HighlandAmy) but as soon as I saw her face (which I’ve seen on Lavish plenty of times), I shocked and thought.. “that’s not possible, I’ve seen her posting! I know her face!). It’s awful.

Makes you realise how lucky we are to be alive and to have the loved ones we have around us.

BTW, your daughter is beautiful! -Runs off to find a picture of your baby boy to -awwwww- over-

That’s so incredibly sad and I hope if she did give birth to the baby she spoke of that her memory will be preserved for that child. I never knew her and I’m not sure I ever even visited her site, but it’s just a bit of a reality check when you hear about things like this happening to others online.


Brandy, on January 21 2008 at 11:28pm:

It’s always devastating to lose a special person/friend. I send my condolences to her family.


Jonna, on January 22 2008 at 12:25am:

I’m so new to the blogging scene that I haven’t made friends with many co-bloggers, but though I didn’t know Amy, I did know *of* Amy. :(

Such sad news. :(


Caitlin, on January 22 2008 at 1:06am:

Gah, this is so sad. It still hasn’t really sunken in yet. I don’t know if it will. But I did cry, as well.

It doesn’t matter who it is or how well you know them, hearing about someone’s death is never pleasant news. I’m sorry to hear that she passed, and my condolences go out to her family and friends (even though they may never read this). Do you know how she died?


leslie, on January 22 2008 at 6:43pm:

Heath Ledger died today, yall.


Destiny, on January 23 2008 at 12:45pm:

I heard about this from another blog as well… it’s hard when you briefly know someone on the top surface online… and when they’re gone, it’s in a split moment and you don’t know how to deal with it because obviously her blog will still be up until it expires…
Again… my condolences…
