Dear All

Hello

Hope you are okay.

I just wanted to say I hope Amy can finally be at peace
and without the mental pain she had.

My deepest sympathies to her parents.

I hope her genuine friends can rally around her parents and comfort them.

Look after yourselves all.

Take gentle care
Sincere wishes

It wasn't me either. Burton, I looked for your post out of interest as so many people had complained about it, but it had already been zapped.

As someone just said, this thread is not really a debate. it's just a comment on Amy Winehouse. Poor girl. The sad thing is, she won't be the last. My money's on Pete Doherty next, unless he gets his act together. And I hope he does.

Burton, I did,nt think this was a debate,just a post to express compassion,which comes on here quite often.However ,as you say,it should end now.**M**. Oh and in case you may think I was the person who complained,forget it. If I had read what you posted and disagreed with it You would have been told by me on here.

It seems that it was Mr or Ms Nobody who complained about my post.

Many thanks for the comments of people who let me know it was not them who complained and also the few who say that the post should have been left because of the principle of free speech.

"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death
your right to say it" (Attributed to Voltaire)..........

Meanwhile the gutless wonder who complained remains under his or her stone.

Can we now end this debate please.

I thought this was a thread to remember the life of Amy,and to have compassion for her family for their sad loss,Not to comment on the why,s and wherefores of her lifestyle or argue about how she led it.A young talented woman has died in tragic circumstances,Why not now let her rest in the peace she could,nt find before? as I said before, COMPASSION for her family is needed.If anything nasty is to be said, say it about the people who led her down the path of self destruction,they are the ones who should be castigated,not the people who sympathise for her loss.**M**

I didn't report said posting either. While I did disagree with what was said by Burton I respect others have different opinions and are entitled to them.
I would own up if I had reported.
Nothing more to say about this topic other than I hope her family are left to grieve in peace.

As it seems to have become obligatory to deny reporting Burton I will as well. As Anne said, it makes our responses nonsense when his post has gone.

I responded on the boards but don't see why anyone should feel "obliged" to confess and engage in debate with him about it.

We all have our thoughts on Amy's life and death , no doubt.

Having read back, just this page, I have 2 things to say about her fans or so called fans , we are talking about peeps leaving bottles of Vodka as' tributes'...Very sad , sick or WUMs ......then those who adored her left 'fitting' tributes.
I was not a fan, tho she was a very talented singer.
The family had loss their beloved Amy, let them be at peace as she is now.

I did not report your post Burton, did not see it ,do not know you..uninterested !

Amy's funeral has now past, may she RIP and I think as Mau said so should this thead be laid to rest. in respect to her and her family

Sandie.

I do agree it is such a sad thing. Drugs or no drugs she is still a daughter of a loving family who did their best to help her. I have a daughter just coming up to 26 and I just can't think of what it must be like for Amy's family right now.

I saw your post Burton It wasnt me, and I hope you ever did will own up.
Maybe a bit harsh what you said but a lot very true.
Freedom of speech on here? You must be joking lol

It was not I that reported your post Burton I would have posted to say so if it was.

Amy Winehouse was cremated.

"Maybe Amy Winehouse's death will make one person stop and think before taking the first step to tragedy or make one person make an effort to help in a practical way ? "

It would be a lovely thought but I very much doubt it as evidenced by her fans leaving botlles of drink etc at her tributes and of course her hit song.........

" They tried to make me go to rehab but I said 'no, no, no'. "

The youngsters tend to place so much store by the actions of their heroes.

:-S :-S :-S :-( :-(

I cant see the point in a tidy up to be honest Joy, the tests on Amy will show if drugs was involved.

I really felt for her Mother she looked in bits, my heart went out to her, Amy was still someones daughter.

my question is
why were no drugs or drug taking equipment
found at her house???
even a ex drug addict
would have something left over they had over looked

it really smells of a after death clean up to me

Nor me. I almost always think posts like that should stand and let people show as they are.

I agree, MotownGal, there really isn't anything else to say, poor girl.

No, not me either.

I am pleased that Amy had a proper Jewish Ceremony and that she is now at rest.

I wonder if she will be interred at Golders Green? I have family there, and there is a big plaque to Marc Bolam. When the anniversary of his death comes around, people gather to pay their respects, which is fine.

No doubt if she is there, that will become an annual event.

This will be my last posting on this thread, there is nothing left for me to say on the subject.

It was not me either. I still stand by my comment re no compassion though. And I think the post should not have been RRd because it doesn't make sense now.

Twasn't me either (I didn't see the post) but if I had RRd I would have told you in full view of the other posters!

Your problem Burton is you do NOT know the personal circumstances of GR members. This is a subject which many of us have had experience of and sometimes a thoughtless comment will appear too damn cruel when read by somebody terribly hurt by past events.

Sue

and it wasn't me........ as poor Amy is laid to rest today I think this thread should be also.... out of respect

It wasn't me, but surely you're not surprised Burton? It isn't the first time one of your posts has offended people.
