I spoke to you a few times around the forums, such a lovely girl, i'm so, so sorry that her demons were strong enough to make her feel liike this was the only option.
My thoughts for those who knew her well, she will be deeply missed.
RIP Amy, you're in a better place now.
Katie, thank you for coming back to let us know. I hope that you are looking after yourself.
I wasn't close to Amy, but we met a couple of times and she always made me smile here and on fb. I can't quite believe that this has happened and my thoughts are with all those who knew her well.
RIP lovely.

I didn't know Ami well but we spoke and she helped through a very difficult time and I was very grateful to her. My thoughts are with those who knew her well. RIP Ami, I hope you've found peace now xxx

Sending safe hugs to all those who knew her well. I remember Ami as she was an old school member of Ryl. Since I hadn't seen her on in a while I hoped it meant she was well now but it's sad to see its not the case. I hope she is at peace now. Xx
Goodbye for now Ami. Wish i hadn't left it so long to say hi this time as now its turned into a goodbye. I really did think things were starting to turn a corner in your life. <3 be at peace xx
I've not been around for ages either, so to hear from Craig that Ami had passed away was sad news. Sudden, but not unexpected, sadly.
She was a lovely girl and had some very difficult times which she struggled to cope with. One can only hope that she is at peace now and no longer struggling.

well its 4 years now since i left RYL and i am so sad that i have returned in these circumstances but i must make a contribution on this thread to my dear friend Ami Louise Hockney! I still cannot get my head round that she has gone , had a text from her a few weeks ago, But sadly this sad news has been confirmed! Ami Lousie Hockney was a member of RYL for many many years and despite battling her own demons constantly she was always there to support others me included! and there are many many people still with us today thanks to the support/love/friendship that the received from Ami!! a smile a hug a listening ear was all part of who Ami was always making u feel better and making life feel not so bad! But sadly we could never ever convince her how decent a person she really was how much of an impact she had on others, in fact the most positive answer you would get as an acknowledgement was "Oh I Suppose" but whatever the problem she was there and she would do what she could for you!! I know many many others from Ryl who were around at that time will feel the same! Mrs Sam, Camilla, Kirsten , Michelle, Waimee, Typsee and i know many more! As i am typing this i really am struggling to accept that never again will my phone bleep with a message from Ami saying can we talk or hi how's u sorry not been in touch! Those of us who knew AMI well over the years (or fairly well) always knew there was a chance that this awfull day would come ALthough everytime she reached another milestone , work, college, Uni we thought YES shes managed to finally do it , finally believe but then something would set her back or her mind wouldnt believe and she would slip backwards! SHE was never ever sorry that the rs had saved her though (that was always made clear to me) and i am certain she wanted to believe but something just drew her back, this time her wee cry for help just hasnt been picked up in time and now all of us who loved Ami dearly are going to have very heavy hearts and an empty space that can never ever be filled! Loves u so so much Ami! Rest in Peace Sweetheart, I will Miss you! And my thoughts as well to all of Ami's close family and her other close friends!
I read this and even though I didn't know Ami personally we'd communicated before and she was an 'old school' user whose posts I'd look out for. I'm glad she is no longer struggling and is at peace but equally sorry for those who knew her personally. Rest in peace Ami.
I am so sorry to read this, I never really spoke to Amy but saw her around here heaps as one of the "old school" members. Sending love and strength to all those affected RIP Amy <3
