John, Judy, Shannon, Tracy, Ricky,

It is with a heavy heart that I learned of the passing of the lovely Mandy. My memories of Mandy are my childhood...my life...and I will always remember her as a huge part of that. Through her ups and downs, Mandy was always smiling, laughing and so amazingly positive. I hope that Mandy's loving spirit will live on in all of you, and in her husband and children. I have many fond memories of her, and I can still remember the first day I met her as "the new girl" at school. I will always treasure the moments spent with her and Jamie, growing up together on Bowden Street. Words fail me right now, but please know that you are all in my thoughts.

My love and care are with you all at this difficult time in your life. Mandy had an amazing soul, and will truly be missed.

All of My Love,
