Hey, Amanda, This may be the last time I can write in your guest book and I want you to know I am still thinking of you. I am so glad I was able to meet you, and what an honor it was. You were an incredible person. I believe everything happens for a reason, but for some reason I can't think of any for losing you. Except maybe God didn't want you to suffer any longer with your breathing. Whatever the reason, you are truly missed and thought of. And knowing your up there watching over everyone who loved you and who you loved, can bring confort, I hope to you're family and friends. Not knowing you very well, but missing you a lot.

It seems impossible that you are gone. I keep thinking this must be a bad dream. To have you gone so suddenly is truly the hardest part. When other members of our family have died, we had time, we knew they were dying. We had the time to tell them how we felt about them and to prepare for them leaving us. But you left without us being able to tell you goodbye, or to let you know how special you were and how much you were loved. Your death just convinces me that we need to treat each other like it is the last time we will see them. We are not guaranteed a next time.
I believe you are in a better place because you will not have to live with all the evil of this world. You will be at peace now. Please watch out for your Mom, Diane and Jesse. Be the guardian angel that they need now more than ever. We miss you everday! Auntie Jeanne!

Amanda, as the days go by, it doesn't get any easier with you gone.It is hard to sit and think about all the nice things that i could have said to you, but instead I just joked with you.I just sit now and think about all the "why's". Why didn't I ever tell you how pretty of a girl I thought that you had became?Why didn't I tell you that I thought that you were a special girl and that(besides cresha)you were a mini me? why didn't i get to know you better?and the thing that really hurts is the fact that I never told you that I loved you until you were gone.But when we are together again,I promise you that I will be the sister that I should have been all along. I'm sorry.

I can't help but think of all of you, and wonder how everyone is doing. It still seems so impossible. Jesse, I also want to tell you, once when Amanda came over she had a sweatshirt on her head cause she was having a bad hair day, and said you had given her a hard time about the hair, and I told her thats what older brothers are for, and she smiled and said she knew that. So I even knew how much she thought of you, and what a comfort knowing she was in your arms when she died. I hope all is going okay, and that healing has started. Take care, and know you're all being thought of.
God Bless, Deb T

Family & fellow friends of Amanda,
I'm at a loss of words to describe how much Amanda has affected me... The words simply aren't coming out. She is the most loving and caring person I know. No matter what mood you were in, she would make you love her because she’s Amanda Hatley and she would smile for you. No matter how sad you were, she would make you feel loved. No matter how much you didn't want to smile, she'd get you smiling AND laughing. She was such a sweet and wonderful girl... I can't even put 5% of what she meant to me in words but here is something I wrote up after I had found out about Amanda's death:
"Amanda truly was a one of a kind person that none of us will ever forget. Her heart was pure, her smiles genuine, the amount of love she had for people was incredible. It is her loving heart, and youthful views on life that has made so many of us fall in love with her, and allows her to continue on in the hearts of all she has touched."
I can just imagine her being the president of Jamaica; yelling at everyone screaming, “omg! I love you, you’re Jamaican!”, asking everyone for a dollar, telling everyone how gorejust she is (she was very gorejust indeed), talking about how goode of speller she was, teaching everyone the happy dance, making pads replace the use of paper, being a crazy mixed woman, her slurs about people, making everyone have her strange eating tastes, and all the other countless things Amanda does that are so “Amanda”.
She will always have a special place in my heart and always loved.

The girl who's smile lit up a room will forever light up our hearts. Although she is gone she is never to far away. Amanda had one of the greatest personalities of all time, and would often say things that made no sense. But Amanda is one of the best friends any of us could have the fortune of having. I can never think of her as gone because in a little way she is a part of me just like she is a part of everyone she has touched. I love Amanda, and the love she had for her friends and family is the most amazing love of all. All who know Amanda know she gave them something a piece of her world to bring to others. I will always miss Amanda and everytime I pray I will think of her (Hello God it's me Amanda) and smile. My thoughts and prayers are with you forever.

Kathy & family,
Seeing Amanda's big smile today in the paper, only makes us miss her more. She always had that smile on her face, and a twinkle in her eye. When her and Jeff would hang out, I would enjoy the laughing that would come up the stairs. I couldn't help but smile myself. And those naked feet of hers!!! She almost didn't look right when she did wear shoes every so often. And what a fine young lady. We will miss her dearly, and will think of you and your family often. Take care, and God Bless all of you.
