Wow, I am deeply shocked and saddened by this news, and so thankful for Jeremy for letting me know.
Amy was a spectacular person who cared deeply for her friends and family... it always brightened my day to see her posting pictures of her daughter on facebook - a love so rare.
RIP Amy. <3

What do you want me to do, to do for you to see you through?

I was a nasty woman before Trump made it cool.
I never met her, but this news was really a punch to the gut for me. Must be incredibly worse for those that did have the privilege of being close to her.
My sincerest condolences for your loss.

I'm really in shock! Feels like I just got punched in the stomach.
She was a great member of the community and will be sorely missed.
I worry about what will happen to her daughter...
Rest in Peace Amy, Rest in Peace. You will be sorely missed!

I just found out this tragic news. We had talked not that long ago and I am just in disbelief right now. I had such a deep admiration for her. Always so funny and intelligent and was a real friend when real friends were in short supply. God bless you Amy, I loved you, we all loved you and our world has lost a real treasure.

Horrible news. Amy was an amazing woman.
I am speechless so I will pray
This is incredibly sad news.
Much love you you, her family and friends and her beautiful daughter. <3 You will be missed lovely lady.

No matter the details, I was shocked and saddened to hear about Amy's death. I can't believe it. There was a period we talked quite a bit, but... I never knew. In any case, she was one of the coolest damn chicks I'll ever have the privilege to meet in this Lifetime, even if it was for such a short time. I pray for all her friends and family. And thanks Kludge for talking about it. This just fricking sucks.

God. I'm in shock. She was a friend. The kind of friend who'd start a thread about you when you were banned.
I got to know her really well a few years ago, and can relate to what Pete says, but don't deny that she could have done this to herself, though it comes as a complete shock to me.
I just think it's all really sad. And we've lost someone truly special here.
Who will love a little sparrow?
Will no one write her eulogy?

Sorry for the loss...

Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

Now I understand why you've stayed away from RPF these past years, Kludge. It was for Amy's sake, to give her a space.
You're a good man, Kludge. I am very sorry for your loss and all the pain you've gone through.
This too shall pass. Hang in there.
I'm not sure but I think Amy was at an event where I had the Ron Paul Corvette and we talked there. At any rate she will be missed and it's a sad day for us to lose someone who understands the idea of liberty. R.I.P. Amy...

Yes - so very sad to hear of this news.

This is a very sad day for RPF, I didn't know her that well even on the forum but I always appreciated her great contribution to the discussion on this forum. She was a kind, intelligence, thoughtful, politically savvy poster who I am going to miss.
My condolences to her family and wish the best for them.
I'd go but 10 hours round trip is too far.
Anyone going to make it?
I'll light a candle and maybe read through her posts instead.
prayers...

It's weird to think that I've "known her" for 8 freaking years. I never met her or heard her voice. I wouldn't recognize her if I saw her. Our communication was limited to a handful of PMs and banter in a few dozen/hundred threads. Yet I've still be thinking about this a lot. She, along with maybe 20 others, were a big part or what defined this place to me. We had a loose social circle that gathered and talked every night... I never really considered these internet posters good friends or anything, yet here I am pretty shaken up by this. Somehow an anonymous screen name on the internet actually meant something to me, and it's pretty upsetting.
The link said you could call.

So sad. Just so sad. Ugh. Not sure I can keep coming here.
The proper concern of society is the preservation of individual freedom; the proper concern of the individual is the harmony of society.

Weirder than that.
Several here are mourning.. Several here loved her,, and I am realizing that it was more than I thought.
I was on my way there,,
I had never seen her face.
