Andrea "Andie" Buckley

It's been a year since you left us, loved you then and love you now xxx

8 months have past and the void you left can never be filled, but what you passed on to our children lives on.
Determination and thought for others
and to never give up trying. Your club lives on because the children have determination and care for each other
and have seen each other through their loss of the most inspirational young
woman who coached them to be as good as they can be and not for glory. We loved you when you were here with us in body and we love you now and always
and know that you are watching over us.
from your very proud adopted mum xxx

Very sorry to hear this sad news. I knew Andie from my first year at Cambridge Uni. Lovely girl and will be greatly missed. My thoughts are with everyone close to Andie. RIP

Andie, you truly inspired my girls, we will treasure our memories and will never forget you, x

Toasting marshmallows whilst watching a kids film, building sandcastles in the freezing rain, swimming outside on Xmas Eve these are the personal memories we will always hold of you. Sadly missed by the Bunyan family (Ricochet Trampoline Club)

I was very saddened to see Andie's name in the newspaper under such tragic circumstances - she taught my 3 children many years ago and was always so enthusiastic but also kind and patient with my children, who certainly weren't naturals! RIP - you will be very much missed. Jan Purath

We were so shocked and saddened to read about this in the paper and we still can't believe it now. It is even sadder that we haven't seen you recently. I knew you through my twins bouncing at Tiggers. From the day they joined you were really interested in them as individuals and always took the time to ask them or me how they were. You were an amazing coach. Anyone can be a coach but not everyone can be a great coach. You will always be remembered as someone who had time for everyone even though you must have had so many demands on your time. My boys - Matt and Dan as you called them – had different abilities in trampolining – Matthew didn't really enjoy taking part
in competitions to start with but you gave him the confidence to just go out and do his best and he eventually even won some trophies ! You told me you couldn't believe how calm Dan was when he sometimes stopped halfway through his competition routine for no reason. You said he would nail it next time and he did ! You will be greatly missed by so many people. Rest in peace.

I miss you Andie, you were like family to me, cambridge aspires (tiggers) squirrel! we love and miss you and thoughts are with everyone who knew her especially her family. RIP Andie i wont ever forget you!

A huge loss to our world, you were a very kind person and a ray of sunshine. I will miss you. Sleep well.

I was so sad and shocked to hear the news today. You were a natural teacher, trainer, motivating and inspiring young lady. I enjoyed our chats and the laughs we had over the last 18 months and thank you so much for all the hard work and time you gave to my two children, who just loved to bounce!. We will miss you Andie. God Bless you x

Andrea, you are missed by us all here at South Cambs. I miss your hearty chuckle and your kind generous heart. You are at peace now. Rest easy. Gill x

How true that you rarely know what you've got until its gone. I took for granted the hours of coaching Hermione so enjoyed every week, & the real boost your unwaiving belief in her gave her self esteem, how much your presence & reassurance helped her get through her first competitions and how welcoming you were to Aurelia when she could only bounce so infrequently. Your passion, support & smile are being sorely missed by our family & I expect very many others. Thanks for the short while we had knowing you.

We only knew Andie for short time but in that time she inspired and coached our daughter Millie and installed in her the confidence and self belief to enter her first competition and for that we will always be eternally grateful.

Steven, Emily & Millie Hatch

One of the most inspiring people I've ever known, Andy had faith in my skills from the beginning and gave me the confidence to test myself and improve. For 3 years she taught me several times a week, and even as the club grew and with it came more responsibilities, she always had time to talk to me and help me. Coming back to the club after many years, I was amazed and proud to see how successful it had grown, thanks to Any's dedication. She was the one who first suggested I wear pigtails, my signature hairstyle for most of my adolescence. When I broke my arm on the trampoline she was so kind and sensitive. It's so sad that she isn't here any more but she was the role model to so many children including me, and will be remembered very fondly.

For every straight bounce you made me do, and for trying to drag me back into the sport after a nasty accident I will never forget you.

Andie, you brightened our lives when we started Tiggers. The children loved the club and you straight away. You were amazing with the children and I loved seeing not only their Trampolining improve but also their confidence and self-esteem in all areas of their life. We have a lot to thank you for. We will remember very fondly the fun and laughs we shared at the Trampoline Marathon. You became a good friend to the children and me and we will miss you very much.

I still can't believe we have lost you. I will always remember you for your generosity and enthusiasm and our walks at lunch. I hope you are at peace xxx

Dear Andie,I will never forget you supporting Keely at her first competition when she was so nervous,and at MK when she won a trophy for 3rd which still has pride of place on our fireplace.We're sure your memory will live on in many young people,A true example to us all. X

As a fellow coach I appreciated your enthusiasm for our sport, the desire to learn and provide the best for your performers. I will remember your infectious smile at competitions and the energy you shared with all around. Rest in peace.

A work colleague and friend, just can't believe the sad sad news - you made a difference to so many young lives and had so much to give. Will remember your bright smile. Rest in peace. My thoughts are with your family.

I first met Andie at regional competitions several years ago but I first came to really understand her whilst attending the Excel Coach Development workshops with her. I saw in her a spark, a sense of commitment and passion to do better that too few have. I'm not suggesting she always got it right but, unlike many of her peers, she never stopped trying to do better and always knew when to ask for support - and that is getting it right.

I still recall our first ever conversation. I was blown away by your passion, enthusiasm and obvious love for your club. You took our shy, almost 7 year old, nurtured her talent and made her believe in herself. Though we moved on, our gratitude never wavered and we still genuinely cared about you.

Rest in peace Andie. You were an inspiring friend and coach who taught many people at Cambridge aspire never to give up.You inspired so many people to look forward and to be positive. You will be dearly missed by all. Rest in peace

R.I.P ANDIE good to know your know up there looking down on us and the club .. We will always remember you for ever and ever and the club will go on in your memory. It's so devastating for every one ;(;(;(

The genorosity of your spirit touched everyone. You will be very sadly missed and fondly remembered by all who knew you. x

Rest in Peace Andie, you inspired me to start trampolining and never stopped believing in me. You were an amazing coach who inspired all of us and always encouraged me to carry on when I thought I couldn't do it. You helped me with my nerves at competitions and I am going to miss you greatly.

Dear Andie,
You were so passionate in your coaching and gave everything. You treated each child as an individual and brought out the best. Thank you for helping Sean and for his green stars - they meant the world to him. We will miss you so much.
love,
Diana and Sean Theron

RIP

Andie was a dear friend to my daughter, Jennifer Brady Coticelli. To Andie's mother, my heart aches for you especially..you are in my constant prayers.

I'll miss you Andie, but will take comfort knowing that you are at peace.

Andie was the best coach and the most amazing big sister anyone could ever wish for. She coached me since I was 9 and I am now 17. Her loss to me is as both a coach and a family member and I hope that everyone will remember her for her bubbly personality and her amazing talent. I know everyone who knew her at Cambridge Aspire, Comberton Village College and Comberton Sports and Arts will deeply miss her.

Andie was not only a dedicated wonderful coach, she was also a dear friend and I will miss her greatly. RIP, the world will be a sadder place without you in it.

Andie, you brought so much love and happiness to our family. you are always going to be in our hearts and memories.Beautiful lady both inside and out. All our love, Julie, Andy Nathan and Caitlin xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
