AMANDA MARIE MCLAUGHLIN

Joe and lisa,we're going to miss you soooo much amanda. you guys raised an amazing daughter. all of you are in my thoughts and prayers. god bless you guys.

dear mrs. and miss mclaughlin im so sorry to hear about amanda death amanda was such a sweet gril your sweet little gril is now in heaven with god my god bless your family tim

McLaughlins, I share in your sadness. It was a couple weeks before I realized the young lady lost was the gal I had met in Espresso. I saw Amanda several times in the time she was there & once at the coffee shop at Times Corners after that. We talked about moving to Ft. Wayne, being at HHS, & going on to IPFW. I enjoyed conversations with Amanda because our 2 older children live in Seattle &, having been there, I knew what she may be missing. Our youngest is a yr. older than Amanda, so I enjoyed still hearing about HHS. I didn't know Amanda well, but I could see in her a beautiful young lady with a great smile who was quite adventuresome. I hope time will bring some peace of mind to your family as you go forward with wonderful memories of a special daughter - You are in my prayers -

Lisa & Joe - Charlie and I were so shocked and saddened to hear about your daughter, Amanda. We are sorry that we never had the honor of meeting her. We pray that the Lord keeps a hedge of angels around your family to bring you all peace and comfort.

September 16, 2009
I just wanted to express our deepest sympathy over the loss of your precious baby girl She made such an impact on so many people's lives. It is a tragedy that we only got to be blessed by her presence for such a short time here on earth.
She was such a beautiful young woman, who was a light to others by being a reflection of God's unconditional love.
The joy that we have now, is to know without a doubt, she is in the comfort of our heavenly Father's arms in the background we can just hear..."well done, good and faithful servant!"
If there is anything we can do for your family, please don't hesitate to call.....anytime! Our love an prayers are with you all.
Much luv and hugs!

Lisa I'm sorry I didn't get to meet you. I'd love to meet you once. I love Amanda with all my heart and miss her to death. It is difficult for me to imagine life without her cause she was always there for me no matter what. She was never judgemental and always just enjoyed life to the fullest

I remember I had ICE class with Amanda, she sat next to me and would always help me with my work and always had a smile on her face. I saw her at the mall about two weeks ago and she was smiling and was beautiful as always. Im sorry for your loss and will keep Amanda and your family in my prayers. God Bless and stay strong!

September 22, 2009
Lisa, I am just now hearing about Amanda and want to send you my love and prayers the family. I still see her as a little girl back in the Jubilee days. I am so blessed by all the loving thoughts your FB friends have to say. You are loved.

September 23, 2009
Thanks Lisa, she was not only a big part of my life and everyone around us...she touched the hearts of my brothers as well. We all cared for her and will always have her with us in our hearts. She made it so easy to care for her because she would do the same for me.

I cant explain to you the amount of times I brought her name up to people that never met her before or know her just a little bit and just tell an entire story and only to start bustin out laughing ;) and they think I was crazy but there was never a dull moment and I have an endless amount of memories to remind me of her :) love you guys and my heart goes out to the whole family. Tell Tonya I said shalom ;) and we will be planning a visit to the west coast

September 23, 2009
I barley knew amanda.. but she did work at my tanning salon.. (mirage tanning) I have talked to her a few times.. i remember everytime i went in there to tan she was always smiling and happy even though she was at work. She would always remember who I was.. and that meant a lot to me. Even though I didnt know her personally it made a big impact on me. A lot of my close friends went to high school with her, and were friends with her. It was terrible what happened to her.. and I always hear stories about her.. it makes me wish I could have known her. But anyways, I went to Cantebury and she has such a beautiful memorial there. I just want you to know that all my prayers are going out to you and your family. I wish you guys the best.

September 24, 2009
Lisa, I just wanted to let you know I am still thinking about you and you're family. I hope all is well in Seattle, and I am sure the service tomorrow will be beautiful! We all wish we could be there for you all and Amanda :)

September 24, 2009
Lisa, I know the service tomorrow will be beautiful! I wish I could be there for Amanda and you guys! I'm thinking of you all and God bless!

September 25, 2009
Brittany Kennedy so i know everyone has been having dreams about amanda...well i had one last night and it was me, you, amy, and dave waiting outside and then you see amanda (with her weave in a ponytail and that big smile) and she ran to you and you guys hugged for like ever and me and dave looked at each other and started crying because we knew that is all you have been wanting. (and i might add that me amy n dave were jealous you were hogging up all the hugs! lol jk) but i just thought i would let you know that because she is always there for you! and to let you know i was thinking about you and ur family!!

September 25, 2009
So good to see you last night. Thanks so much for sharing pics, stories and letters. It was so refreshing to hear that everyone Amanda touched feels the same way about her! Her laugh, her love for life, her fearlessness, her sassiness :), her love for people... Some people have some of those qualities but very few people have all of them. You and Joe raised an amazing beautiful woman, and last night I was just reminded of how much like you she was! :) Let's celebrate AMANDA tonight! Praying peace for your whole family

September 25, 2009
thinking about you and the rest of the family. i know tonight will be a wonderful celebration of Amanda's life. wish i was there to hear the stories from all your friends and family in WA. sending love and prayers your way :) know we are supporting you in fort wayne.

September 25, 2009

Cheers..To an Amazing woman. AMM may you RIP

<3*The hardest thing about being a kid was learning how to tie your shoes, figuring out the mysteries of arithmetic, and wondering what was going to be on Nickelodeon when you got home from school. Growing up, however, is a challenge we are forced to take on. It’s a timely process that takes a lot of patience. It begins with laying in bed wondering what to wear to school, with hopes you don’t repeat an outfit over the course of a week, to rolling around sleeplessly wondering what we are going to do when we have nothing left to do. However, through time, we build enough courage to wake up and go to work, or go to school, and deal with what life throws at us that day. We learn to grieve, we learn to cope, we learn to love, but most importantly we learn to live. We hear it all the time…”live life to the fullest”, “do what makes you happy” and so on and so on, but are we honestly living up to those expectations? Is sitting in class checking the time every five minutes living life? Is being employed somewhere you don’t want to be really making you happy? Think about it for a minute.*
*I met a girl who knew how to live the good life, a girl that brought spunk into people’s lives. Someone who didn’t take life for granted. She was so up beat and real. A girl who was adventurous and daring; a girl who lived her life the way she wanted to. This girl lived up to and maybe even beyond life’s expectations and she made it seem so easy. I hadn’t seen Amanda in months, but as I sit alone and unenthused in my college English class, in walks Amanda, late, with a big smile on her face. She throws her stuff down next to me and gets to telling me what she’s been up to. Needless to say, I was so happy to see someone I knew. She’s the kind of girl you can sit and talk to and within minutes feel like you’ve known her forever. The kind of person you can run into after not seeing for awhile and have a serious conversation with them, without the awkwardness. It was such a relief to have her in my class, not to mention being able to catch up with an old friend. She made English something I looked forward to going to. A class that ran over an hour seemed like fifteen minutes with that girl because she always had something to talk about and something to laugh about. With her, time wasn’t a factor. If she didn’t want to be in class, she left. It was that simple. She had her coffee in one hand and her cell phone in the other. She occupied her time and made sure she was never bored. Amanda was full of life, and probably one of the most unique individuals I have ever met. “Cya”, “have a good weekend”, was the very last thing we said to each other Thursday afternoon. I was excited to come back and hear her crazy weekend stories.*
*Unfortunately I got the devastating news Sunday afternoon, it hit me like a brick wall. I was in complete shock. Amanda McLaughlin, a high – spirited, fun and loving girl was taken from the world in a matter of seconds. I won’t get to hear her stories, sit back and laugh with her or ever talk to her again for that matter. I met Amanda the week she moved here from Washington, and from that day forward I have never seen that girl without a smile spread across her face. She lit up a room and always knew how to turn something absolutely boring into something unbelievably fun. I don’t know anyone who can say they didn’t have fun with her; she’s the girl that makes life worth living, the girl who makes the memories worth reminiscing. Unfortunately, after high school, we only saw each other in passing. Like all people though, you make new friends, and go on from there. She found a great group of people she called her family, and to those of you who spent everyday with her and were a part of her life, I pray for all of you, you guys stuck with her and continued making sure she had fun; you guys are her hero’s. Amanda was that girl who had a million and one friends, but she always made time to see them all. If there were stories from the weekend, you could bet she was in them. Amanda always made the parties…well, parties. She was full of energy and made sure everyone was having a good time. She lived life to the fullest. There’s not much I can continue saying about her, except for that she would be happy to know that she made her mark, and has affected a lot of peoples lives for the better. If I have learned one thing from her it is not to be afraid of who you are and to go out and have fun. “Live it up”. I wish I would have gotten the chance to get a lot closer with her, but in memory of Amanda…You may not be with us in person but your spirit lives on. Cheers. Thank you for being you. This is truly unbelievable and unreal, but you have shown me what life is all about and for this you are an inspiration. All my love and prayers go out to the McLaughlin family, and anyone who was apart of her life.*<3
Amanda M. McLaughlin ::RIP:: you are an angel.and.the partys waiting for you in Heaven.

September 15, 2009

September 16, 2009
Amanda,
I know we didn't really get a chance to know each other and we only hung out a few times at a party here or there, but I'll still miss you. As I was reading everyone's comments it was so easy to see how loved you are. The few times we hung out you were always up-beat and happy and it's been said in the note written about you and in these comments here. RIP- you will be missed.

September 17, 2009

September 18,2009
Amanda,

You were taken from us way too early, you had only begun to scratch the surface of your potential, there were great things ahead in your future. But now you have a greater responsibility, watching down on all of us and making sure we stay true to who we are. There's not much else I can say that everyone has...n't already said, you were a an amazing friend whose heart was bigger than reality. I wish we could've spent more time together but I know that when I meet you in heaven you'll have a shot ready for me (make it a double). Not an hour goes by that you don't enter my mind. I love you with everything I have and I will NEVER forget you. Thank you for the most beautiful week ever, I know you had something to do with it. Stay fresh baby girl and I'll see you soon.

October 12, 2009
Hey Gurl! I've been thinkin about you a lot lately & I can't believe you've been gone for a month now. I've also been talkin to your mom a lot! Shes such a strong woman (of course you already know this) & k...now you're looking after her and everyone else every second of everyday. The craziest thing happened yesterday when I was driving back from IU.. While I was there I was having everyone I was with send e-signatures to get the petition passed for you so I was thinking about you & the good times in the Hummer the whole way home :) But as I started to get sad & realize how you're really not here anymore I looked up in to my visor (where I keep your memorial thing) & your smiling face was peeking out at me..I couldn't help but laugh because it never falls out of place unless I open it.. I slid it back in place & looked up 5 seconds later & you were back out smiling so I took you out & sat you on my dash the rest of the way home. I know we lost touch after I went off to school but I just know you were the...re with me yesterday & I miss you so much but knowing that we will all see you again some day makes it just a little bit easier. Don't be off-roading with anyone else up there ;)Love you and Miss you!!!

Joe, I didn't know your beautiful daughter but I heard the sad news. My heart goes out to you and your family. As a mom I can only imagine how you and Lisa are feeling. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Amanda, you are truely missed down here..but least I know I have another angel watching over me. It is so hard to know that I can't get the random texts from you anymore, life is not the same :(. You always said that eventhough we went times without seeing each other, we still managed to text otherwise it did not feel normal. Thank you for being around through thick and thin, you always had my back no matter what, as well as I did with yours. I love you best friend, may you RIP and can't wait to see you again someday.

Amanda, life is really not the same without you, I have noone I can randomly text and will make me laugh just as much as you did, if I did not get to see you we still manage to have our texts everyday, you would say "it did not feel normal if we did not atleast talk everyday"...so true. It is hard for me to consider people best friends, but through everything you and I have been through, not one time has it made us drift away from one another...I could probably write to you on this thing forever, but I want you to know I can't wait to see you one day and you are missed terribly here...never will you be forgotten. Love you, best friend.

Amanda, you were so much fun to be around! There was always laughing when you were around! You were definitely the life of every party and now the parties seem a little more boring and quiet. You had such a big personality for such a tiny girl, and I will never forget all the fun times we had! RIP!!

Amanda, I remember you as a little girl, you stayed with us while mom and Dad went to dinner for your moms class reunion. You just kept asking, "wheres my mommy?" and making sure Katie was being taken care of in the way your mom would do it. You were a great big sister, and full of love, laughter and joy! You will be missed by many!!
I love you honey! Leslie

My heart and prayers go out to you and your family. May you rest in peace Amanda....always loved, never forgotten.

Amanda was one of a kind and I will never forget her. Life will NEVER be the same without those bright blue eyes and giant smile. Can't wait to see you again some day, Manda!
