Loree Family,
words cannot begin to describe how sorry I am for your loss. Shannon and Amanda were amazing friends to me during high school and I will never forget her laughter, positive attitude or her constant smile. I may not have been able to be there in person today, but my thoughts and prayers are with your entire family. Shannon was like a sister to me in high school and I wish I could help take away some of the pain. I know you guys are a strong, amazing family and will make it through this. Thank you so much for allowing me to know the beautiful presence of Amanda.

Erica, I am so sorry for your loss. I remember when we worked together in the bakery at Hannafords, you would always talk about your 2 younger sisters. Just know she is in Heaven, the memories you have of her will always be with you. I wish I could have meet her. Again I am so sorry for you and your family. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Amanda, you accomplished so much in your 21 years of life. You knew how to make each day count. How many of us will be as fortunate as you were to spend our last days of life doing something we truly believe in and love? You blessed us all with your kindness, courage, gentle spirit, and commitment to make the world a better place. Keep on laughing "giggle girl" because we are still listening.
With love for Amanda and gratitude for all those who made her life beautiful,

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.

Amidst our sadness we are aware of how extremely lucky we were to know and love Amanda...a truly beautiful young woman, inside and out. What a wonderful role model she is for my two young daughters. We all adored her and will miss her so very much.

Mr. & Mrs. Loree & family,
Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of Amanda. I was her advisor freshman year at CSJ & have since retired & moved to NC. She was a wonderful young woman who was intelligent, respectful, & courageous. The world was a better place when Amanda was still here. Take comfort in knowing that she is now in a better place, at peace, & pain free.
