Hi Pip,
For some reason this popped in my mail today and it reminded I haven´t written in a while, even though I think of you everyday. I am sure you and your Mom are together again. I hope you both are happy with the way we are taking care of Emily. She will be 18 in a year I wish she could have met you. I love you and I guess I just needed to tell you today.
Love Auntie

Hi Amanda, I don't know if you remember me...my name is Kelly and I was one of the social workers that worked with you at Children's. I was actually an intern-I was there to learn how to be a social worker....and you taught me about how to support others and so much more. You and your lovely family inspired me every day.. You taught me about courage, resilience and love. Amanda I think of you often and wonder what you would be doing if you were still on this earth. I think of your family and I hope that they are okay. I remember playing Barbie with you and celebrating Halloween on 6West with you. I worked with many, many children but you were special. Your smile lit up a room. I hope that wherever you are, you are happy and that you know that you are missed and remembered. You made a difference in my life Amanda and I will always miss you. Sending love to you and your family.

Hello Pip, Wow nine years ago. I can't believe it. Uncle and I still repeat some of the words, and the things that used to say to only us and it's like your still right here with us. It our little secret language. We miss you so much sweetie. I always think how much fun you and Shannon would have bossing us around and now add Emily to the mix and man we would have been sunk. I have to say that there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you or see some reminder of you. Love you girl. Love always and forever Auntie and Uncle.

Hey beautiful, You are missed so much. Marissa always talks about you and wishes you were here so you could drive each other crazy. I still laugh at the thought of the two of you riding around in the doll carriage and it knocking over. You two were so brave and had no fear of getting hurt. I know that you are watching over Marissa and I thank you for that. I have so many memories of you baby girl too many to name but just for the record your pitch while singing was not great. I also remember baking blue berry muffins leaving lots of blueberry sauce so they came out purple. You loved pink and Marissa loved purple. I wonder if you still would call each other Arissa and MaManda?? I just wanted to let you know that we love you always and forever and you are always in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Jeanne and Marissa

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above. Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight. Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night. That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through, God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone. As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on. I need you here badly; you're part of my plan. There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight. God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears. But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain. Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er. I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb; but together we can do it by taking one day at a time. It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too... that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain." And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile, knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind; I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free, remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Hello Missy,
Just a little hello. I know I haven't written in a while. It is not because I miss you any less. I still think about you 1000 times a day if not more. Things have been crazy for us with our little Miss N. I think sometimes I feel you and Pa holding me up. Thanks for that.
July 20, 2005
You Meant So Much
You meant so much to all of us
You were special and that's no lie
You brightened up the darkest day
And the cloudiest sky
Your smile alone warmed hearts
Your laugh was like music to hear
I would give absolutely anything
To have you well and standing near
Not a second passes
When you're not on our minds
Your love we will never forget
The hurt will ease in time
Many tears I have seen and cried
They have all poured out like rain
I know that you are happy now
And no longer in any pain.
June 25, 2005
Eternal rest grant to them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

My Daughter Walks with Jesus
The doctors voice was heavy
His words chilled to the bone
Your little girl won?t last the day
Tonight, you?ll be alone.
I hurried to her bedside
Her body pale and weak
She told me that she loved me
I kissed her tiny cheek.
My child was quickly fading
I held her trembling hand
She said, you mustn?t cry for me
Someday you?ll understand.
Today, I dreamt of angels
Who carried me away
To the holy land of Jesus
God talked to me today."
I held her, oh, so gently
She slowly passed away
My tears continued falling
On her gown that dreadful day.
For years, I nursed my anger
Consumed by endless grief
I even hoped that I might die
To bring about relief.
In a lonely cemetery
By her grave, one wintry day
I was sadly placing flowers
And felt the urge to pray.
As I knelt beside her gravesite
I felt a breath of spring
The sky lit up with angels
What comfort it did bring.
A voice broke through the silence
It brought about release
My little daughter spoke to me
My soul was filled with peace.
Her words were sweet as honey
She said, I didn?t die
For now, I live with Jesus
So, Mommy please don?t cry.
My daughter dwells in heaven
Of that, I can be sure
For today she walks with Jesus
He's taking care of her.

Dear Amanda,
Another Christmas is here and we still miss you dearly. I was in the store and saw all the dollies. I thought about how much you loved dolls and what fun we use to have playing together. Your picture is on Lilly's wall and we often stop to talk about all the fun times we had.
Blessings to you on this very Holy Season
Love, Your Katie, Cousin Bobby and Lilly

God looked around his Garden and found an empty place.
He then looked down upon his earth and saw your loving face.
He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest.
His Garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best.
He whispered to you "Peace be Thine" and gave you wings to fly.
You've left us precious memories, your love will be our guide,
It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you on the day God called you home.
Peace and Love to All.

Looks like we are going to have a girl, which Bobby and I are sure you had a hand in. I hope she is as beautiful and sweet as you. I also want her to have those long curls of yours. Keep watching over little Lilly, like I know you have been.

Hello Miss Pip,
It's been almost 11 months since I last held you. I can't believe it. It's spring time now and your garden will be blooming again. Easter is not very far away. I remember last Easter when we had an Easter egg hunt in my new back yard. You and Daddy came down early to help me cook.
I went to see Scooby Doo 2 with Andrew, Connor and Ryan and Auntie Sue. You would have loved it. There were some scary parts that you might have been frightened at. Connor kept telling me when he thought it was going to be scary so that I wouldn't scream. I tried to think that you were there with me in spirit however, I wanted you there in body and soul.
I guess I just wanted you to know that I still miss you very much.

Hello Little One,
How are you. Well Christmas is over and it was a very difficult one.
I just wanted to write and tell you that the dream I had about you the other night seemed very real to me. I am holding it very close to my heart and hoping that it is true. I loved being able to hold you again in my dream. It is one of the very things I miss most about you. Of, course there are so many other things that I miss. I hope you are well.
I love you very much. See you soon.

Hello My Friend,
It has been a while since I have written to you. Don't think that it means I miss you any less. I still am so sad in my heart and I sometimes think that if people were to look at my heart they would see a huge hole.
I just wanted to write and tell you a few things. The first one is that last Saturday we went to this memorial mass where they remembered people who had passed away in the past year. Well you were one of the people who was remembered. Mom, Dad and Andrew went up to light a candle in your memory. It was a very difficult mass. I can't believe it has been six months since I held you last.
The other thing I wanted to tell you was Jeanne is getting married on Saturday and I can't help thinking about how you will be walking along side your best friend Marissa when she walks down the asile. I can just see the two of you now prancing down the asile together. I know that Marissa misses you very much also.
I hope that you are doing ok. I guess that you could say that we are doing as well as can be expected.
Well remember that I love you and will see you someday soon.

Hey Pip,
I haven't written to you in a while, believe me that does not mean that I don't think about. I think about you every single day. The pain still hasn't lessened.
Today, Uncle D and I, Auntie Sue, Uncle Danny, Connor and Ryan went to the camp for the first time this summer. It was really hard. Uncle D and I were remembering how when we use to pull up you would jump up and down and be so happy to see us. We were thinking about how you and Andrew would be at the park and you would always hop in the car for a ride back to your trailer.
Well, sweetie I just wanted to wish you and Pa a happy forth of July and to let you know that we all still miss you very much.
Love you always and forever.

Dear Nancy Donald and all Loved ones,
I did not know you or Amanda.But several years ago,when she had her story in the Lowell sun,I had cut it out and hung in my kitchen. I would pray for her and I will pray still more now for peace and comfort so sorry to hear about her. It is a comfort to know she is now in a new home with a God who loves us. Though we can never have her back she lives on! In everything we do Again I am so sorry

You Are My Hero!!

To the Rondeau & Machado Family,
Though I never had the honor of meeting Amanda. I knew her grandfather John Machado and John always spoke so highly of Amanda!
She is now in the arms of her Grandfather John & her Aunt Donna and they are all Angels watching down on all of you! May you rest in peace Amanda

Do not stand at my grave and weep: I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow: I am the diamond glints of snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain: I am the gentle autumn's rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush, I am the swift uplifing rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft star that shines at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there: I did not die.

Losing someone you love is the worse part of life, But it's a new beginning for them. Just remember what a wise man once said,
There'll be an evening in the end, but when that time arrives , you can rest your eyes and begin again. Your not losing your daughter, your gaining an angel "
God bless you and you Family
