"I was about 12 or 13 when I first started really getting into country music. I was a fan of the genre, but really didn't know names and faces to their songs. Around this time I started watching CMT, and one day I spotted a young girl's video on there. I don't remember much about that day looking back, although I knew her name was Amie, she was a beautiful and young, and she had roses hanging from the ceiling in the video. I liked the song and wanted to get her cassette tape, but it seemed like every time I brought my money to the record store, I could never find it. I think I'd only seen that video for 'Who's She To You' on CMT once. I'd wanted to see it again, so I could record it, but I never did.

I always wondered where Amie had gone. I didn't hear her on the radio and didn't see her on CMT or TNN. One day I was over at my aunt's watching TNN. I heard the announcers say that Amie Comeaux had died in a car accident. They showed her picture, and (I believe) some of her 'Who's She To You' video, and I had remembered the girl I had related to, a few years back, in her video, because she was a teenager, like me. I automatically asked to use my aunt's computer (as I didn't have one at home at the time) and searched for Amie's name. I wanted to find all I could about her.

I remember finding this site and I read how sweet of a person she was. It made me wish I could have met her or have seen her in concert, and how sad I felt for her family and friends for losing a sweet and loving girl too soon. I remember saying a prayer for her family and for her grandmother and Godchild to live (and thanks to God they did). I thought back to the little memories I had of watching her video and I cried for her loss as we'd never hear from her angelic voice or see her smiling face again. I looked all over for her CD and finally found it about the time her second CD was being released and was so glad that I was finally able to have Amie's music. After listening to her collection, she has since become my favorite female singer, and I hope a third CD will be released. Later on, I was discussing Amie with my cousin and she brought me a tape of videos that her mom had. On that video was Amie's video for 'Moving Out.' It was so nice to see another video of Amie's that I'd never seen before.

I thank Debbie so much for keeping this site open and all those who contribute to this website, as I live through all of you who got to meet Amie and know her. I love to look at all the photos and to read everyone's memories. Thank goodness for this music that we can always have with us. Thank you to all who have made it happen."

"I was driving down the road today and for some odd reason, the name Amie Comeaux popped into my head.  I remember seeing her video on CMT years ago and I was interested in buying her CD but could never find one released here in upstate New York.  I even went so far back then to get the name of the record producers and I called them.  I got no reply.

I was wondering why I have never seen Amie or heard anymore songs from her.  I did a search on AOL when I got home from work.  I was devastated to read the news.  This is tragic and such a waste of God-given talent.  She seemed to have a great career ahead of her, despite the lack of a huge selling first effort.  But look at Shania!!  We will never know what should have been.

I would like to give you a huge amount of credit for having the webpage dedicated to Amie.  Tonight was the first I realized the terrible news. Please keep her voice alive and let her family and friends know that another Amie Comeaux fan contacted you with his regrets."

"It was a little strange for me to run across this site while searching for something not even relative to Amie.  I grew up around Amie (she is not even a month younger than I).  Her Grandma lived right across the street from us.  I played with her up until she really got into the music thing, then I just heard about her from her cousins that I played ball with.  I remember when I got the call the day Amie was killed -- it was like it was not even real to me.  Amie and I were not close as "adults" because she was always so busy, but I do know that she would always tell me hello and give me a hug when we would see each other.  The last time I can remember seeing her perform I think we were about 15 years old and she sang at my dad's company family day.  It was kind of cool seeing her two years later on TV and just thinking WOW I know her.  I know she is still sadly missed by all those who were lucky enough to have known her or to be touched by her.  And I am glad to see that someone is still helping keep her Spirit Alive and keep her dream pressing on."

"I'm an old country boy from Texas. I first heard and saw Amie in a music video which was included in a tape I received from 'Country Video Monthly' back in the 90's. I was so taken by the song 'Who's She to You' and the great video that I immediately sought out and bought the CD 'Moving Out.'

I played the CD for several days straight after getting it home and tried to pick out the one song that I could say was my favorite. To my surprise I was undecided as I liked all of them. I didn't have a CD player in my truck so I copied several of the songs onto a cassette tape along with some songs from Chely Wright's first CD. I have since changed trucks several times, but that tape is still playing as strong and as loud as ever and 'Moving Out' is still in my CD collection.

I always wondered what happened to Amie and why I never heard more of her. As I said, I am an old country boy and don't follow to many of the new artists and their careers. I just thought Amie must have stayed a regional artist, maybe Nashville wasn't too kind, or maybe she got married and had new priorities.

On Tuesday, September 13, 2005, I was randomly entering names of artists into the search area of eBay.com just to see if there was anything out there. (I have picked up several old records and pictures of artists on the site). I began a search for Amie and found three entries for her first album and nothing else listed. Then one of the listings caught my eye. It was titled 'Amie Comeaux~Moving Out - (CD 1994) Deceased Artist.' I thought, 'you got to be kidding' and opened up the page to read the listing which included Amie's biography.

I then remembered how I had come to know about her music and how great I thought the video was. I felt a sense of loss that I really still can't explain. I began a search for web sites on Amie and came across 'The Official Unofficial Amie Comeaux' web site. I have to say that I have read every word that has been written on this site and have come real close to outright breaking down and bawling my eyes out while reading the stories that fans have shared.

I feel now like she was a part of my family and I'm having to cope with the loss of a loved one. I am so glad that you have spent so much time in developing and maintaining this web site and that I was able to have a chance to check it out. As for Amie's music, may it play on forever. I just bought a second copy of the 'Moving Out' CD and the "A Very Special Angel" CD. My intentions are to keep one copy of each CD for myself and send the second copy of each CD to a local radio station (104.1 The Ranch) along with a copy of the biography on Amie, and then bug the heck out of the DJ's (Bob Mauldin and Tom Perryman) to play her music. The Ranch's playlist is the older stuff, but they also play some from local artists and I know that Tom Perryman would likely play Amie's music if he had it available.

Again, I can only express my sadness in learning the tragic ending of such a talented person. My prayers go out to Amie's family and friends. Her music will always have a place on my personal music playlist."

"Hi, I live in Brusly, Louisiana, where Amie Comeaux was from.  I am 17 now so I was only 8 years old when Amie died, but I do remember seeing Amie perform once when I was about 7, I guess. There was a big party at Myhand Park in Addis, the neighboring town to ours, and Amie performed at the end of it. I guess it must have been for the 4th of July because there were fireworks afterwards.  It may sound hard to believe that I lived in the same small town as Amie and I only saw her about twice, but it's true.  I saw her outside in her yard once while walking down my uncle's street and she waved to me. I remember that I was very excited because Amie was a big deal in our little town.  My sisters went to school with Amie at Holy Family and we actually have a picture of her singing at an assembly for the school. I'd say Amie was around 10 in the picture. I really wish I could remember more about her, like some of my friends do, but I guess I was was too young. I do remember the night she died. It was all over the news and I just couldn't believe that it happened so fast. Needless to say it was also a major shock to the whole community.  I do visit Amie's grave site frequently, because my paw paw is buried in Grace Memorial, too.  I still listen to her music and I'll never ever forget her.  So thanks for this website, I'm sure it means a lot to everyone who knew and loved Amie."

"I just discovered, today (June 28, 2006), that Amy had passed away. I've spent all day in shock and disbelief. I have her first album, (on cassette, of course) and I was just listening to it like 4 days ago. I was telling my mother how beautiful she is, and how her voice was simply amazing. Then I get on the internet, and research young celebrities who died, and came across her name. I was shocked and saddened. The memorial page is beautiful, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading about her, unfortunately, brief life."

"I am so glad that Amie is still remembered. I saw her for the first time at a Bull Bash in 1997. Kyle Hicks was also performing. Amie had the crowd's attention when she sang. I know, if she would have lived, she would have gone far. I have so many memories of the times when I was 17 (I am 26 now). I remember that concert the most. Amie was a great singer and a beautiful person on the inside. When I hear her music, it brings me back to a time in my life when I was care free and young. It is hard to understand, I guess, but for me music is a way to bring me back in time... back to a place where I felt free. Amie's music does that for me. If she was here, I would thank her for the memories she created for me. Baton Rouge will never forget her."

"I wanted to say thanks for the Amie Comeaux site. It brings back so many memories to me. I loved to hear her music and miss her so much. The country music world lost a wonderful young lady. May her memory always carry on in the hearts of her fans. She was a angel that the Lord needed in heaven. And I know she sings to all of the angels and saints in heaven. May God preserve her memory forever. Peace be with you always Amie."

Love, Paul

"I have visited your tribute web-site celebrating the life and gift that we encountered as "Amie Comeaux" more than once . . . and visiting it again now I wanted to send a few lines in her memory (see the poem "And She Smiled")...
