To the Todd family, Christine and Ashley and everyone else, we are so sorry for your loss. Amanda was a sweet and a good person. I can remember the girls playing and having good times. Remember them going to school, trick or treating, just being kids. Hard to believe that Amanda is gone. Sending all you our thoughts and prayers, and God will give you the strength to get through this difficult time. There is another special angel looking down on us. Amanda may be gone, but she never will be forgotten. She will always be with you and your family. Love y'all

As you grieve, know that Mandy will be remembered. Share comfort in knowing Mandy is no longer suffering. Isaiah 33:34 "No resident will say: I am sick."
"He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore." Look to the day you will have a reunion with your dear loved one. For God is our God for ever and ever, he will be our guide even unto death Psalm 48:14

Amanda, I know that you and I used to fight alot. But, I always loved you. Being around you was sad because of how badly you wanted your life to get better. I loved to see you smile. I loved holding your hand. Now, all I can do is think about great moments I had with you. I will keep your legacy strong. Always and forever, I love you.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
