Amanda Edwards Obituary
She was born in Augusta on July 10, 1991, a daughter of Todd M. Edwards and Rebecca (Shaw) Renaud.
Those who knew Mandy realize that there is not enough room on a newspaper page for us to encompass all that Amanda was and wanted to be, but she was an honor student and was a senior at Erskine Academy in South China. She was a wonderful person who made an impression on everyone she met. Amanda loved cheering, four-wheeling, and spending quality time with her family and her many friends. She was enrolled in the early-childhood education program at Capital Area Technical Center. Her ambition was to become a second-grade teacher; she was planning to attend the University of Maine at Farmington next fall.
She worked part time at C & S Market on Riverside Drive, Augusta, and was a member of the Windsor Memorial Baptist Church, Windsor.
Mandy is survived by her father, Todd M. Edwards and his wife, Hope, of Windsor; her mother, Rebecca (Shaw) Renaud and her husband, Parrish, of Vassalboro; a sister, Amber L. Edwards, of Vassalboro; two stepsisters, Elizabeth "Libby" Knight, of Augusta, and Audra Knight, of San Antonio, Texas; paternal grandfather Richard Edwards and his wife, Elinor, of Augusta; paternal grandmother Mary Edwards, of Randolph; maternal grandfather Richard Shaw and his wife, Mary, of North Venice, Fla.; maternal grandmother Jan MacNeill and her husband, the Rev. John MacNeill, of Dowling Park, Fla.; a paternal great-grandmother, Esther Edwards, of Augusta; two aunts, Lori Edwards, of Gardiner, and Ellen Shaw, of Naples, Fla.; three uncles, Rick Edwards, of Portland, Matt Thompson, of Portland, and Jeff Barkin, of Florida; a cousin, Kristen Russell, of Arizona; a large extended family and numerous people she considered family.
Visiting hours will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 19 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the China Lakes Region Convention Center, Neck Road, China where a celebration of Mandy's life will begin at 1 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations in Mandy's memory be made to National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc., 2600 Network Blvd., Suite 300, Frisco, TX 75034.
Arrangements are under the care of Plummer Funeral Home, 983 Ridge Road, Windsor.
Condolences to the family may be expressed via the funeral home website at www.plum merfh.com.

I was visiting Augusta from Nova Scotia this pass week and I bought a North Face coat at the goodwill while I was there. I am home and I went to wash it and for a beautiful necklace with a key on it and Mandy's card about kindness. Her message has made it to the maritime

At least a year ago, i went into a bathroom at an airport somewhere, and as i was washing my hands i saw the card and a beautiful necklace with a sun on it, and it made me smile. after a crappy day of traveling, i just thought it was the most lovely, random thing to come across. i wear it on occasion, and think of her when i do, but i lost the card so i had no way of looking Amanda up. i wore it last night, and today OUT OF NO WHERE i swear, the card was on the floor under my office chair. :-). i believe Amanda and her light are with you always. Thank you to whoever spread this little bit of kindness in this otherwise crazy world. I try to pass it on.

My name is Megan and I just received a rand act of kindness in memory of Amanda Edwards. I looked her up online and found this website where I wanted to let her family know I am thinking of her today, what this random act of kindness means for me, and how I wish to pay it forward. Thank for this reminder that there is good in this world. Nice to meet you, Amanda!

1,000! We reached the 1,000 act of kindness today (well probably it's more but I know I have given away 1,000 things including the flowers and the jewelry) -
I miss you so much and hope that you know how much I love you!
Thank you for your message - it was amazing to hear that you are safely in heaven and happy - I knew it of course but it is always wonderful to have it verified!
I put the story on facebook and on your website so that others can know the glory of a relationship with God and that Heaven does indeed exist :)

Hey precious! It's been a while since I have been on here - I have been too busy keeping up with Facebook and My Space and your Website:The Kindness Revolution.me
I just wanted to tell you I love you so much, that I miss you every moment of every day, that your wonderful friends came to the house and we all celebrated your birthday together!
I realize you know all this already - but I miss sharing things with you so much!
Well - I am off, we will see you smiling down at us on Saturday I am certain! Love you!

Hey my Sunshine!
I wanted to come and give you a huge HUG and tell you how much I love you and miss you!
I wanted to tell you that Laurie Morin started a cause on Facebook for you that links to my Kindness Revolution... We have over 300 new members in under a week! Isn't that fantastic! You and that smile have an impact even still!
Love you my Angel! Off to work I go...

Graduation was really quite difficult. I just kept looking at all your friends and wished I had you there to hug and be proud of. My heart did beam with pride when all those wonderful friends of yours completed this portion of their journey. I just know you were there smiling down at us all. Kiss everyone that is there with you for me! Love you!

Well I was at Hallowell and Wine yesterday showing the girls your article in the paper and talking when two girls from Maranacook can me and went down to look at prom dresses. They came up without finding any dresses but did find two matching Coach purses they wanted. They convinced Michelle to sell them for 30.00 each and then one girl called her Dad for permission to buy it. After a pretty lengthy discussion the Dad agreed - but when she went to pay with the credit card Michelle had to tell her she didn't take that kind of a card.
She looked so disappointed so I took out one of your "Pay it Forward, Random Act of Kindness" cards and told her I was buying it for her. She was thrilled...
Then the weird thing happened - I pointed you out to her in the article on the paper - she turned white - opened the paper flat and said "and that is me" her photo was RIGHT NEXT TO YOURS! What are the chances of that happening?! It was spine tingling! LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

Well your sister made me laugh and cry yesterday with her gift for Mother's day. She wrote me the most wonderful letter and it meant more than words could say. She set up a whole poster size tribute in memory of you in her room, it is beautiful and the things she wrote for you are very powerful and heartfelt.
I continue to hand out the "pay it forward" cards to people, today I bought a 5.00 Hannaford gift certificate and left it with the cashier along with the card for her to give to someone.
I made lunch for the office and told them that the catch was that they had to take a card and pay the kindness forward - everyone seems to really like the thought.
I just know that doing things like this on a daily basis with you in mind makes me smile and fills a small portion of the hole left in my heart by your not being here. I love you my darling!
Mom
May 11, 2009
I was really worried about Mother's Day and getting through the day. I am so glad your sister Amber is home and I was able to give her a big HUG - that really helped!
Keri and the kids came over to cheer us up and you know we had to make cookies!
I also purchased about 100 flowers and passed them out to random women/mothers over the weekend and gave them a copy of the Pay it forward card - I hope it starts a flood of random acts of kindness!

I cried again this past weekend. We were in the airport and a bunch of kids, that made it through the first round of auditions for "so you think you can dance", were flying out to go to Las Vegas - they were so full of life and fun and I could see you right in the middle of all of it - taking pictures, laughing, getting autographs! I simply couldn't hold it in, I missed you so SHARPLY at that moment! It was unexpected and caught me off guard, my defenses were down... I LOVE YOU and Miss you so very much. But that's just me being selfish - I try to focus on the gift God gave me by letting me have you when he did - and try really hard not to mourn the time that isn't. :)
My idea to keep your good deeds going!

I am so excited! You sent me a dream about doing random acts of kindness in your name and I was just stuck as to how to let people know why and to have them pay it forward - Then Tuesday I got the 250 business card free offer in my e-mail and I knew just what I was supposed to do - I have put a copy of the business card in the photo album for you to review! I am trying hard my precious to make you famous and keep my promise to lift people we don't even know! This is an easy and inexpensive way to do something every day to make the world a better place and it is all in Honor of you! Miss you so much

PRAISE GOD! and Thank you Mandy! You must have had a hand in bringing Lynn McInnis into our lives and for getting Oprah to notice your story and what I am trying to do to honor you!
YOU are on her ANGEL NETWORK! I almost came unglued when I saw the e-mail telling me she added the story. I wrote it before the benefit so I had to go in and update it with comments to let them know we did well and about the May benefit we are planning (well I should say Lynn is planning - thank heavens for people like her)
I miss you so much! But each day I focus on the joy and blessing I was given by being allowed to have you in my life for the 17 wonderful years you were here - instead of the fact that you are not here in flesh and blood anymore - I can say I certainly do miss your hugs and cuddling up with you on the couch to watch tv.
But I am doing my very best to do what you said and right now I am CELEBRATING like crazy the fact that my goal of making your dream a reality might be getting closer! LOVE YOU!

My precious darling! I know you feel it but I wanted to write it here...I love you and I miss you and try to honor your memory ever day :)
The Gowns and Sounds Benefit was a good start we raised about 2,500.00 to start the scholarship fund! I am estimating that we will need at least 65,000.00 to get this process started. Travel from Africa, 4 years tuition, expense money...
I am sure you saw how beautiful the girls were on Sunday, and heard the wonderful music the folks of Hallowell donated to the day. Everyone was there to support you and they all want to continue your dream by giving that gift to someone we don't even know!
Brigitte just came back from Africa and had visited many schools from around her home town- so maybe we will find someone to sponsor there?
Nikki's aunt travels to Africa for several months a year donating time teaching - so she might have some contacts!
I promise to do what I can to make this a reality! LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

Mandy-Gosh do I miss you. I cant believe everything your mom is doing in honor of you. Its amazing, she loves you so much. She is so strong I couldn't even imagine doing half the stuff she has done just to take care of everyone else. She has been there for me so much and has helped me through so much, its unbelieveable. I can see now why you were such a loving amazing person. Your just like your mom. Ive been over a few times to visit your mom and Parrish. I even got to go through your room and take some things. It was really awesome. Everyone keeps saying that it is going to get easier but it seems that everyday that passes is harder and I miss you more and more each day, I think about you everyday and all the FUN times we had together. I miss you and love you so much Bestfriend =] =]

I keep thinking about you everyday and for some reason i sometimes see you in the halls at my school but then i blink and your gone. I have cried a couple times in school but i'm learning that its okay to cry when i need to. Ill talk to you soon. Love you

Just me again. Is it weird I come her to talk to you this way? Well you know I talk to you constantly throughout the day and miss you all the time, but I just like coming here and putting in down in some tangible way.
I got a message from another of your friends today. Everyone still misses you so much. But this time I realized that if this person was contacting me it was because he knew it was okay and he knew the kind of relationship we shared. It meant a lot to me to know that you must have let your friends know that we could talk about anything.
Well I am continuing to try to get Oprah's attention hoping she will help me honor you and your memory.
I love you!

Sweet Pea!
I can't believe how quickly we pulled together the benefit for you. We are calling it Gowns and Sounds for Mandy.
The girls get to come and try on Prom gowns (Michelle has 100) and then we will have a fashion show for family and the community! Then at least 5 musicians (and closer to 8 we are hoping) will be donating their time to play for the rest of the day!
Everyone misses you, and I miss you so very much - but knowing we are doing things GOOD things in your name - really does help. LOVE YOU precious!

My darling!
OMGOSH - I was having the worst morning, thinking of you and crying. Then all of a sudden the song "Smiling Down" by Pillar came on Air One - what a wonderful song! It reminds me so much of you and that great big smile! I put it on my My Space profile page so everyone can hear it when they visit. Thank you for sending it to me just when I needed it. LOVE YOU!

What can I say,it hasn't gotten any easier with time, we still all miss you like crazy.

Your mom and I have had some nice conversations online and she is a great person just like you!! Take care, We miss you alot.

Got the chance to "lift" someone I didn't even know last night. Your story made a worried mother approach me because she is worried for her son. He is only a freshman. I gave her the information to show him your You Tube and told her I would be happy to talk to him. She kept asking how I was so strong and how I have gotten through the days since you left us... I told her it was because I knew what you wanted and because I can feel you with me every moment now. Love you sweet baby girl!
Mom

Well - time still goes by but the pain doesn't subside. Missing you so much! The girls still visit and that is so wonderful, it makes me feel good to think about what you would be doing with them and hearing them laugh and talk about you is always such a great thing....
I felt like I had let you down last week, not able to mend somethings I guess no matter how hard you try... Then someone reminded me that you see everything clearly now and you know I tried and still continue to harbor no ill will - so you would understand.
I found the most wonderful song for the MySpace page and have been listening to Air 1 every day - what a blessing that station is.
Michelle just cut 9 inches from her hair to donate to Locks of Love in your name - OMGosh - even just typing it made me cry... I am glad she is going to help get the event at Ultimate Design set up.... I just can't.
I have been e-mailing Oprah like crazy and I just know at some point one of her staff will take the story and run with it!
We did lots of stuff around the house over the last month. I hope you don't mind... we needed to - I could picture you everywhere and so we needed to make some changes. Parrish and I are upstairs in your room which I painted a lovely shade of light green I think you would have liked it! Then we turned my old "closet" into Parrish's closet/dressing room and Amber's room into my new closet/dressing room. Amber and I worked all weekend on her new room downstairs in our old bedroom. She painted it the prettiest chocolate brown and it will have the blue accents like her room upstairs did. We did some shopping and got great deals and even came up with a really great way to create a screen for when you walk into the room. Wish you could be here to see it!
Anyway, I just wanted to stop by - say I love you so much! I keep the MySpace page going every day! and think about you every minute! I am Celebrating My Life and we always take you with us! I am trying hard to smile HUGE in your honor (even if I don't feel like it sometimes) and I am doing GOOD things in your name! LOVE YOU!

PLEASE REMEMBER her final and ONGOING wish!
Celebrate my life, (it’s okay to mourn the loss) and remember the good times. Celebrate YOUR life (include me) and make MORE good times. Remember what I wanted... please do for me now, what I cannot. Hold each other up; lift someone you don’t even know. Aspire to greatness, dream BIG, and achieve many goals. Teach many, and smile HUGE in my honor. Amanda (Mandy) Edwards
Please help me make this wish come true! I am trying to get Oprah to help us send someone from Africa to school here in the US to return to be a teacher there - all in Mandy's name! Lifting up someone we don't even know! Please send her e-mails asking for her to assist us! She has the school and it would be wonderful to do that in Mandy's name!

FOR MANDY... Part of Me... I thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday and the day before that too. I think of you in silence. I often say your name. But all I have are memories and your picture in a frame. Your memory is my keepsake, with which I'll never part. God has you in His keeping. I have you in my heart. I shed tears for what might have been. A million times I've cried. If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died. In life I loved you dearly. In death I love you still. In my heart you hold a place, no one can ever fill. It broke my heart to lose you, but you didn't go alone. For part of me went with you, the day God took you home. -Author unknown

Hey baby, I just wanted you to know that the girls came over again - I am going to honor you on Senior night Thursday at school - talking to them and hearing about their lives daily really makes a huge difference! Makes me feel like I am still experiencing things with you that you should be here for!
I am working on legislation to fix some of the things that went wrong. I am working hard to do what you wanted!
We have moved Amber down to our room and we have redone the upstairs (just paint and moving things) so she will be more comfortable - she misses you very much as does Parrish.... Think he would love to see you roll your eyes at him right now ;) And I made a my space page! Can you believe it? We love you still! Say hello to everyone for us!

Mandy,
I miss you so much. It's been hard but i'm taking it easy. I'm starting to do a little better but I still think of your smile and you of course. Things aren't the same. The weather has been freezing. Christmas was hard. Your mom came to my grandparents. I saw your box with the ashes and it looks just like you. You are always in my thoughts and prayers.
Love you Shelby. Your little cousin
What a great day! I love these Photos - they make me smile!

Missing you so much. Having such a hard time. I am finding out what happened in details I don't want to picture. I am just so thankful that you didn't suffer. I am trying so hard to do what you wanted - trying not to be angry - trying to focus on the wonderful memories of you - but I can't help missing you, think of your graduation, your wedding, grandchildren and all the other things that will never be.... I love you so much, you are in my heart and thoughts always - my dear sweet one...

I just heard of Mandy's passing and I wanted to let you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

I know that she will always be with you in your hearts and memories. I wish you peace during this difficult time of year.

It is Christmas Eve and I know that you will be there with us. We all miss you a lot. This year instead of gifts to each other we gave to charities in your honor. Baby girl you had such an impact on everyone who met you. I hear all the time, oh I knew her she had an amazing smile and of course that is followed by she ate a lot too. Watch over all of us until we see you again. I love you more than I can say. Love Nannie

This has been a tough week for me - missing you so much. The thought of you not walking through the door just seems unimaginably painful. To not see your beautiful face on Christmas morning and to hear your laugh. To never watch you go to Senior Prom. To not see you achieve all the wonderful goals you had for yourself. I know you would have/SHOULD have gone far and you would have brought joy and caring to so many. I promise I will try my best to help someone else get their teaching degree and go to Africa to teach in your place. I wish I knew why you were taken - it is a small comfort to know that you believed in another life and that you are living it now - You are so loved - now and forever - Mom
Please Never Forget -

Hi Manda,
To sum up all that you meant to me in just a few lines is impossible. To say you were like a sister to me just doesn't even explain. But the bond we had of sharing the role of 'little sisters' is one like no other and is a simply irreplacable spot in my heart. Not a day goes by that I haven't thought of you. I miss you like crazy. I come up the stairs at home and expect to see you sitting at the computer. I know you're up there lookin down on us, and probably mad because you can't have any of the food we got :) but i miss you terribly and just wish you were here. Love you more than you will ever know

I am so sorry to hear of your sudden and tragic loss. I didn't know Amanda very well, but I remember her a little bit from China Lake and Penney. I know you all loved her very much and must be hurting terribly. I had been hoping to offer my condolences in person, but I was unable to make it to the services. Know that you all will be in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. May the God of all comfort give you hope in his promises, faith in his plan, and peace that passes all understanding.
In Christian love and deepest sympathy,

Dear Rebecca, Todd and Amber,
As I read all of the wonderful tributes for Amanda I can't help but recall the Amanda I knew as a 5-year-old kindergartner. She was the sweetest and kindest of little girls, always caring for others in her quiet, determined way. Watching her grow and move through the years at VCS was a delight. As an eighth-grader she was often in the K-2 wing as a volunteer and was a favorite with the kindergarten children, again, giving back and caring for others. She would have been a wonderful teacher because she was a wonderful person. I am so sorry for your loss. In her short life Amanda made a huge impact and will be remembered by those who were fortunate to know and love her.

I cannot imagine the pain you are feeling right now. The loss of one's child is enormous. I only had the pleasure of meeting her a couple of times and she always had a warm smile. I only wish I had the chance to know her more. She is, was and always will be a reflection of her truly wonderful Mother.
You have an angel looking out for your "Becky". Turn your faith to your family and friends and they will help you through this. God is always there. Talk to him.
God Bless Rebecca!

My Dear Rebecca, I am so sorry for your loss and my prayers are with you and your family. I wish I could be with you today for her funeral, but circumstances are such that I cannot be there. I am here if you ever need to talk or vent or anything. I wish there was a way to ease your pain because if there were a way, I would do it for you. Mandy is in a safe place now. Take care my Friend.

Rebecca, Amber, Parrish...my heart goes out you. I remember Mandy's smile and I am so grateful to have had the chance to know her. When Amber and Mandy would come into the office it was always a treat as they would make me laugh. She will be with you forever in spirit and if I know Mandy she will let you know that someway somehow. With deepest sympathy, Pam

I was fortunate to meet and know Mandy through her grandmother (Mary) since she was born. She was always such a personable, upbeat, beautiful girl, that truly loved her Nanny very much.
To all: Don't count the years' count the many wonderful memories that will live on within all of you forever.
My Sincere & Deepest Sympathy to all during this difficult time.

When I heard of the tragic accident my heart broke. I still see Amanda as the sweet 8 year old with the most dazzling smile I've ever seen. Amanda's eyes were the window to her beautiful spirit and she gave warmth to everyone she smiled upon. I feel lucky to have been so close with your family then and to have the memory of her amazing smile and grace. Becky, Todd and Amber, I give you my heart and deep felt sympathy and strength to endure your loss. I know you'll be surrounded by love and support tomorrow, and that is something to hold onto as long as you can. The memory of Amanda will live forever.

Dear Becky, Amber, Parrish, and Todd,
I'm so sorry, and am also mourning about Mandy. As you know we used to be good friends but somehow grew apart. I will always remember the great times we had and how much we laughed together. I just wish we got to spend more time lately. I loved Mandy because she is a wonderful person, and she, as well as you will always be in my heart and in my prayers. God Bless.
