Amanda, you were such a strong woman. I did not know you as well as some on here, but we were connected. You had such strength at 15 when we first met. You gave to me what no other could. You gave me the gift of life, your first child. She will always know you loved her SO much. I will see you again when the time is right. Love you girl!!! Peace

Still can't believe this. Not even sure what to say. Mandy you will be missed by so many people. You have touched the lives of so many people. Your smile could make anyone having a bad day turn in to good day. I sure am going to miss coming to McDonald's and ordering our food and 2 plain hamburgers and you know exactly who they were for LOL. Keep your bubbly smile up there!

Amanda u were one of my best friends for 22years. I love u so much. I can't even explain what I am feeling right now. You were such a rock during things like this. U were an amazing mom and had such a connection to Caleb. I will always be here for your family and for your son. If they need any cheer up stories I'm full of them. You and Michelle save me a spot. U will forever and always be missed.

Jacob Patterson posted on 4/21/14

Still not sure what to say right now to be honest. Finding a way to express how much you will be missed is hard to put into words, if there is a way. Except perhaps forever and always. You have touched so many people that it knows no bounds. Love you!

Nichole Hester posted on 4/21/14

I love you and will forever carry you with me! Rest in peace my beautiful guardian angel until we see each other again!❤️
