Farewell Amy

By now most people know that singer Amy Winehouse has passed away. Most are assuming overdose, as she battled addictions most of her short 27 years.

I'm totally baffled by how many people can be so cruel about this young woman's passing. Sure it was something that those of us that follow music figured would happen someday...how sad that that someday came so soon.

I wasn't a huge fan of Amy's music, but I recognized in her a good voice and I can understand why she had so many fans on both sides of the pond.

It is terrible when a life is cut short like this. 27 is not enough time to have experienced life, even with all the fame and fortune she had.

I hope wherever her soul has flown too that she's found the peace she couldn't find on this earth

Well said. Her music was wonderful, but - like so many young artists - she made a train wreck of her life, and left it far too soon.

No one helped her when she really needed it
