Amanda I love you so much! I still cannot believe that you are gone. I think about you every day. We had so many great memories that will not be forgotten ever. Cody still asks about you. I've been telling him that you are on vacation. I personally wish you were only on vacation and were coming back within the next week or so. I just want this nightmare to be over. But I am just happy that you are no longer in pain. I felt so bad for you knowing that you were in pain and I couldn't do anything to help. I just now wait till we are reunited again and we'll party it up up there. Be good. And don't party too much without me :) Rest Easy Babygirl. I Love You So Much! <3 xoxo

I am still struggling to believe this news. Amanda possessed one of the most beautiful souls I have ever encountered, and all who were lucky enough to meet her were better for having done so. Her laugh was so infectious, and her smile so inviting - she truly embodied the word "shine" while she was here with us. Time has passed, and many of us have lost touch over the years. However, Amanda will always remain a radiant, beautiful, loving young lady in mind and in my heart. May you rest in peace amanda. I am sure that your laugh is filling the heavens even as I type this. My thoughts, condolences and prayers to the Stakowski family. Robyn, Danielle, and AJ - I am so sorry for your loss and wish there was something I could do to take the pain away.

March 5, 2011

Amanda you were such a beautiful young lady with the most amazing smile and laugh, i miss you so much and cant get you outta my mind ! fly free babygirl.
