Nattie reflects on Andy Williams and Owen Hart

You get stopped dead in your tracks when the news hits that one of your own fellow wrestlers has died, and that reaction is the defining thing about this massive, huge wrestling community we live in. It doesn't matter where you work or who you are employed by because when something as shocking as a death happens, we all just come together regardless of the workplace. I loved seeing everybody unite to celebrate Andy Williams, to honor him, and to share their memories of what he meant to them and how he impacted their lives. You look at the photos and realize people are even sharing their direct messages they had with him, which makes you understand just how nice, genuine, humble, and great this guy actually was. When an incident happens so suddenly, especially if it occurs in the ring or right after a match, people are still talking about exactly what happened and hopefully we will all know a little bit more as time goes on since it happened pretty soon after a match. The first thing that crossed my mind when I heard about Andy passing away was his family and wondering what it was like for them to receive that devastating news. When Owen passed away, it was so hard and it was just a very hard moment for our family; it was the hardest thing that we have ever gone through and it leaves you with very deep scars that are very traumatic. Those scars never go away and it never gets easier to lose somebody you love, and it does remind all of us, and I did think about Owen, that life is short and tomorrow is not promised to anyone. The best thing we can all do is treat each other with kindness and respect and grace no matter where you work or who you work for, even if you've had conflicts with people because at the end of the day we are all just trying to get through this thing called life. He was way too young to pass away.
