In the light of the day,
In the darkness of night,
In the midst of the moments,
the quiet of solitude,
the first light of dawn,
the gathering with loved ones,

In the flow through the moments,
the days,
the seasons,

I carry within me,
the light of your eyes,
the sparkle of your smile,
the warmth of your love,
and I hold you
within me
within my heart
always.

Amanda, we love you dearly. Aunt Lonna and Uncle Rick

Can't believe we're nearing one year. Still have our cousin picture up in my livingroom, and I look at your beautiful smiling face everyday. I love you so much Amanda.

Dear Amanda,
"What's up buttercup"? I miss seeing that big beautiful smile and it won't be one I forget. Your laugh was contagious and it won't be one I forget. Your hugs were strong and warm which I still feel and won't forget. Your love was unmeasurable which is impossible to forget. You Amanda are unforgettable and are still loved so much. Hard to believe it has been almost a year baby girl. I love and miss you in ways you will only know. Keep smiling baby girl. I know you are dancing up there.

Dear Amanda,

It's almost been a year since you left us. We still miss you and love you just the same, and that will never change. Sometimes it is hard to believe you really are gone, but we are comforted knowing you suffer no more and we will see you again when we meet our Heavenly Father. Just know you will never be forgotten, you will always be in our hearts and we are watching over your mom and Danny. They have your strength. They probably don't feel that always but they are strong, just like you have always been. Till we meet again, sweet girl.

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.” (John 14:1-4, NIV)

Love, Uncle Brad, Aunt Kathy, Jenna and Mikayla

"...The rainbow comes and goes,
and lovely is the rose;
The moon doth with delight
Look round her where
the heavens are bare;
Waters on a starry night
Are beautiful and fair;
The sunshine is a glorious
birth;
But yet I know, where'er I go,
That there hath pass'd away
a glory from the earth..."
(William Wordsworth)

Our precious cousin and niece Mandy, always a part of our hearts, always a twinkling loving presence in our lives.

It would have been both an honor and a privilege to meet this beautiful young lady; I wish I would have had that opportunity. The hearts Amanda touched will ache forever for her loss, but they will be soothed by the many memories of special times, shared laughter and Love. My heart goes out to her family, who will remain in my prayers, that they each find peace now, solace whenever needed and enduring friendship and Love at every turn.

Amanda..You were taken from us much too soon, but like many have said..obviously the Lord needed you more in Heaven than we did and do down here. I love you always and I hope you know how much you meant and mean to me. I have so much regret that I hadnt seen or talked to for a while because you were in Alaska and we lost contact. I pray always that your soul can rest in peace and that nothing holds you back from that light because, babygirl, thats where you belong!! You brought so much happiness and light to our lives, theres no better place for you than in that beautiful, peaceful, serene bright light where on the other side I hope you find nothing but peace, comfort, happiness, and see all the true beauty as you did when you were with us. My sincere condolences to Amanda's family..You were all so lucky to have had her as part of your family, and myself and MY family will never, ever forget her. Until we meet again Sweetie..I love you always and feel good knowing you're an angel up there watching over all of us down here. Rest in peace Amanda, Until we meet again... ?Brittany Froehlich

My dearest Amanda,

I feel like a part of me is missing since you've left us. I think about you every single day. You meant so much to me and always will. You will never be forgotten and your spirit is surrounding us. You were a beautiful, intelligent young woman who let nothing stand in her way!! You will be greatly missed. I would give anything to see your smiling face again and hear your laugh. I love you Amanda! You were everything to Everett and myself and he will never forget you. I can't say it enough....I love you baby girl!! Rest in peace

UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN...

It's a very special day today
And one I'll never forget.
Just shy of 22 years
I'm not ready to let go yet.

How did this happen
To such a beautiful girl?
Every time I think of it,
My mind begins to whirl

I wish for just one minute,
I could see your pretty face.
All the pain inside your heart,
I'd do anything to erase.

Today is the day of your birth
And I will celebrate each year.
Just because you left this world
Doesn't mean you're not here.

I thank God for this day,
The day of your birth.
The times we smiled and laughed,
And your time upon this Earth.

I know it won't be long
Before we meet again.
But I wanted you to know,
I love you, until then...

I miss you so much Amanda and I will never forget you. You were a great sister and an even better friend! Thank you for all the great memories...Until We Meet Again....

We had good times years ago, you are beautiful and never judgemental. An angel!

Our precious Granddaughter, Mandy. What sunshine you brought into our lives, but I guess God needed more sunshine in Heaven! We will all miss your beautiful smile and your love for music and dancing.I remember once we were all over at your mom's house and a good song was on and you got up and danced and danced. Another time you came to Wisconsin and only Ron knew and you all came over to our house and I was in the bedroom and I heard a familiar voice and I said to myself, that can't be her, she's in Alaska! You ran into our bedroom and just gave me a big bear hug! Grandpa and I will keep you close to our hearts always. I have another reason for looking forward to being with our wonderful, lving Jesus, so I can be with you! Rest easy till we meet again! Love from Grandma and Grandpa K

My Mom loved Amanda and would wait for her to get to work to get dressed for the day so that Amanda could help her. I, also loved Amanda and the great warm and loving heart she had for the people who depended on her for their care. I just heard today about Amanda's death and sorrow filled my heart. She was a remarkable young human being.

Amanda will be missed by so many. She was loved by so many family and friends. We will all remember her beautiful smile. She was a strong one and she admitted many times, she got that from her mother. She loved her family dearly and would do anything for them. I bet her friends would say the same. We will miss Amanda every day and wish she was still with us all today but she is needed more in Heaven than she is here with us. We were all blessed to have her in our lives and she will be in our lives again one day. Until then, Amanda, we will take care and protect your family as we know that is what you would want. Thanks so much for sharing your life with us. Until we meet again our dearest Amanda! We love you forever!

Love from Uncle Brad, Aunt Kathy, Jenna and Mikayla and Grandma and Grandpa K
