Amanda Carrillo Obituary

Amanda. Its been so long. But really it hasn't. Yesterday I took my daughter for ice cream with the sprinkles. Do you remember that? We had some, I almost dropped mine, you saved it but said I owed you sprinkles. We walked home laughing, everyone was looking at us like we were crazy old ladies in high schoolers bodies. I told my daughter all about you. Love you. --Jenni

Just thinking of you today, Amanda.

I have never seen a tribute wall like this one. You are so loved. You are so missed.

You were loved. You are loved.

You are missed.

Thinking of you today

Hi Amanda, I tried to visit you this weekend, but I couldn't find you :-(
Although 13 years have gone by, I think of you all the time. We never really talked and although our time shared was transient, I still remember your skills and greatness on the field. Hope you are enjoying God's great palace and heaven's shinny sun :-)

Hey Amanda I havnt wrote to u in forevr!!! I miss of u and I will write to u...ITs almost ur birthday

was looking through some of my old things in a shoe box i had and i found your chicken soup diary, some movie scripts we made, and some little notes. i also found lots of picture they brought tears to my eyes. but also gave me some giggles thinking about the good time. always missing you love u

Hey Mandie!
I thought about you today when I passed by the cemetery, so I stopped by to visit you. I realized that it doesn't get any easier looking at your headstone, even though the accident happened 7 years ago... It seems like just yesterday we were talking on the phone about high school.. I miss you and love you! You're always on my mind and in my heart!

Forever thank you all!!!!

hey amanda i remember sitting with you in JROTC and would make small talk with you cause the class was boring. you were a very nice person and it is a shame that you are gone.

Il never know what could have been... we used to write each other notes back and fourth in class along with innocent flirting, and not knowing too much about each other but we had that connection. I still cant beleive that we were suppose to finally hang out for the first time the weekend you passed, and then plans changed....life has weird twists, il never know what could have been but i do still think about you and i know your in a good place where the sun is shining =) miss you.....

It seems like just yesterday i sat by you in english class. I remember i always thought you were a beautiful, lucky girl. You had your head up high and your phone in your purse pocket, texting the world away. The last time i seen you, i was on the ground doing some kinda "caterpiller" thing [[haha like the worm]] thing for you. I can't imagine how you would look right now, you'd be such a beauty. You had your head up so high, i miss you. We were'nt close, but i enjoyed your company to the fullest. You will never be forgetten. We love you & Miss you amanda. Love you..and miss you

I miss you and love you



Arielle

Mandie. Its already been a year and i still cant believe your gone. But i tell myself over and over that your in a better place. Your in heaven and i bet your the prettiest angel there. Because you were such a beautiful person. I keep asking myself why? why this had to happen to you? You were awesome! You were a happy person and you were strong, and dedicated yourself to everything you set your mind to. I have always looked up to you and have always admired you. Sometimes when im in the halls i keep thinking and hoping that ill see you around. And i feel like crying when i see girls from afar and they remind me of you. But noone will ever replace you. You are the best cousin anyone could ever have. And i remember when i first moved to Vegas you were the only one who called me and you kept telling me how you wanted to move out there with me. And we wanted to go to school together.You were so excited. You were the type of person who always cared for others,you werent selfish in any way. when you were in Vegas with me, on those last days we spent together you opened up soo much. and i still remember when you would tell me you loved me and would give me a hug before we went to bed. Amanda i love you. I miss you. LIfe will never be the same without you!

I know your in heaven now,smiling down on us and taking care of us. YOu will always be missed.

Say hi to Tio gerardo, Nino and my grandma for me.

Its hard to believe it has been 1 year. You are so dearly missed by everyone. It is so hard to go over your house and not see you there. We miss you so much Mandy and love you very much! The Korso Family

THIS DAY SUCKS!

YOU ARE GREATLY MISSED AND IN MY THOUGHTS ALWAYS.

LOVE

MIKE

This weekend my daughter was asking Jim what he wished for while they were talking about Christmas. Instead of answering he became very quiet and said that this week will be one year since he has seen Amanda. I see her picture everyday on Jim's dresser and not a day goes by that I don't think about how I wish things were different. The holidays are always difficult when you miss a loved one and this will mark the one year anniversary of Amanda's death. It's hard to believe and it's been a difficult year for us. I can only imagine what Rosie and Carlos must go through everyday. We miss Amanda and she is always in our thoughts and prays.

Was just thinking about you and to let you know I still think about you all the time. Mery Christmas Amanda. We miss you



Arielle

... the other day at school we had a mass for El Dia de Los Muertos.. Carmen and I thought that it was only right to bring your picture up and the your favortie necklace.. i think that at that mass.. it was the first time that i had really cried about you in a while.. believe me.. there is always something that reminds us about you.. mostly the funny things you said and did.. i still cant believe that its been 10 months.. all i know is that still to this day.. Carmen, Dave, Mike and I miss you very much.. love you lots mandie!!

oh my god, the other day i was looking at my old live journal and i found amandas all the way from 2001, wow thats long ago. it mad me veryupset ,

amanda everything reminds me of you and im always telling everyone storys bout how funny you were. i miss you so much and love you

Amanda was always there for you if u ever needed her. no matter where she was she would always come and keep you company if you had a rough day or if somthing ever happened. nobody could ever replace her. and even though she is gone she will always remain in my heart. i remember when she used to help my cheerleding sqaud.call her "sparky # 1" and we used to call ashly "sparky # 2" and holly "sparky # 3." so many people know her and we are all so very sad that she is gone. we will never forget her. amd in conclusion me and my cuz wrote a song just for her..... i'm standing here in the pouring rain, looking back at the memories, ever scince you left theres been nothing but pain, but no matter where you r ur still in our hearts and we remember all the funny times we had together. i miss you.



LOVE: Lizzie grant

Amanda,

Now your gone.Im wondering why you left us here.I think about it on and on agian.I know ur never comin back.i hope that u can hear me.Im waiting to hear from u until i do ur gone away.im left alone and it feels like apart of me is gone and im not moving on. so wait for me cause i know the day will come ill meet u there.I wish I could of told u the things i left inside. But now i guess its just to late.So many things remind me of you.I hope that u can hear me.I miss you.This is goodbye one last time. Ur gone away.Im left allone.Apart of me is gone and im not moving on so wait for me i know the day will come when i meet u there.And where i go ull be there with me.forever ull be right there with me.Ill meet you there. Where ever life takes me to, Ill meet you there. No matter if i need you here, ill meet you there.Imiss you Amanda.I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU!*R.I.P*

amanda.. im at a loss of words, because even after all this time.. you not being here with us anymore still hasnt hit me... i guess i just don't understand why you.. you are so full of life.. you are so selfless.. nothing matters to you except the happiness of your friends.. so many people have said such wonderful things about you.. as i sit here and read them.. i realize one thing.. everyone talks about everything you were and everything that you meant to them.. but in the past tense... to me.. you will always be here with us..... you know.. its kinda wierd going through a day and noticing something that reminds me of you.. and for that one second.. i forget about everything else that is going on in my life and focus on you.. amanda.. you will always and forever live on in my heart.... ya know.. sometimes i feel like anything i could possibly do for you would never amount up.. at this moment.. all i have is soccer... the soccer bond that we had means so much to me.. and the way that your face lit up when you were out there playing warmed my heart because i knew that you were doing something that you loved.. i can only try to do the number 2 justice and wear it as proudly as you did... because in the end manda.. its all for you..

It seems like just yesterday we

were talking and laughing.

But then the black cloud

set in.

As soon as we heard, the wind

was knocked out of us as our

knees trembled.

The high voltage of unbelievable

shock, electrocuted our souls.

our minds and emotions spun

out of control in complete and

utter disbelief.

Not you.

Not now.

As the heavy feeling of loss

tightened its grip around

us,

we wanted to stop and break down.

we wanted to cry and shout

questions and obscenties at

the sky.

we wanted...wanted...

we wanted to join you.

But something deep inside told

us you wouldn't want us

to do that.

That you would want us to go

on with life.

You knew we were equipped with memories

and strength.

Memories that would make us smile

everytime we ran through them.

And strength to carry on without

you and to keep our heads held high.

No matter how hard at times it is

to do, we will do so

For ourselfs

and

for you.

_____________________________ _______



Amanda i will miss you so much.....i will miss everything about you, your smile, laugh the way you looked at things and how you would allways ask me to make you casadias for you..i miss you so much not a day goes by where i dont think about the good time we had and that bad and the best times that brought us together the most. You will always be in our hearts and in out prayers you and you family...

amanda,

im gonna miss you girl! ill never forget the crazy times we had and all the special moments we shared. you had my back when i transfered to DDE this year, you introduced me to most of the people i knwo there. i cant believe your gone. i remember all the talks we had about guys (you always talked about jim), friends, and that 70s show. i know that ive known you since 2nd grade but i think this year we got a lot closer and im so happy that we had that time. ill never forget your smile, your contagious laugh, and the way you made every day at school seem exciting (i dont know how you did it). soemtimes i feel lost and confused and all i can keep saying to myself is why! but i know i cant live like that, you wouldnt want us to. so whenever i start to look down and feel like crying ill go back to the times when it was all happy and simple. sometimes it can get insane, but ill make it work somehow. ill do it for you. ill have that positive attitude you had to life. you had so much talent and goals, and i look up to you for that. you always made me want to be a better person and try my hardest. thank you. honestly, id be lost without you and ill never forget that warm feeling you gave me everytime you smiled. I LOVE YOU GIRRRL!



<3,michelle

*~*Dear Amanda*~*

Although you are now a beautiful angel helping God, you are still missed immensely here on Earth. It is impossible to grasp the concept that we will all have to move on without your gorgeous smile and charisma. You left an everlasting impression on everyone who came in contact with you, and I know we will all make sure your memory never dies! You were one of the most amazing, genuine people I've ever met, and I thank God, and your parents for letting me have the pleasure of knowing you. I can't imagine how hard your closest of friends can cope with this, because you were so precious to them! I know my sister is having a hard time, but I hope you all stay strong, because that is exactly what Amanda would do! You know if she was here to see us cry over her she would change that in an instant! So let's try to keep all the good memories alive, because she is with us always! We love you and miss you always!

amanda toched all of are hearts with the way she loved everyone.amanda may be gone in in person but in our hearts she will always be here.dont let anyone tell you otherwise.amanda was a great person.when i first met amanda i had no clue who she was or if she was gonna be nice to me because my sisters friends dont usally talk to me, but amanda was different.if ashely was in the shower or somthing amanda would not stay on ashley's room the whole time. she would come and talk to us.she was like another sister to me.she would always tell me she loved me and i felt the same way.i just want to let her know she will alwys be loved.i miss you sooo much amanda.I LOVE YOU AMANDA!*FOREVER*

i really didn't get a chance to get to know you all that well except thru cheerleading with the untouchables we went to florida 2gether we had a blast with you,You were always SMILING! that was a good year for all of us in Florida we took home trophies, and you will always be remembered in our eyes. your going to be missed dearly..R.I.P

All i can say about Amanda is that she was the best person in the world. I didn't get to know her like everyone else did but i did know that she was a great person. I sat by her in lunch with Michelle, Meagan and Cassie. I remember the one time at lunch when Cassie was eating Flammin Hots and the chips were too hot so Amanda starting laughing at Cassie because she was making a hilarious face while she was eating the chips and then all of us starting luaghing and people were looking at us like we were crazy! I also remember the day b4 we were taking finals we were at lunch and talking about our schedules and amanda wanted to be in 7th period spanish and she said she hated 4th period and she said to me no offense and then Cassie was like" Amanda, Sam is in 7th period now" and Amanda started cracking up! I thought that was so funny! She always had a smile on her face and that made me happy to see someone smiling! She was an awesome cheerleader too. I will always miss and think about her when i go to games and not see her happy face there. I also know that Amanda was a really great friend because she would always look out for her friends and try to give them the best advice and everything.

My thoughts and prayers will always go out to Amanda and her family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love and will always miss ya Amanda!!! RIP



Love,

*SAm*

Amanda,

I miss you so much,I pray for you and your family.

I care so much about you and your family.

You were so good at everything you did.

i remeber seeing you everyday with holly, making up cheers and having fun.

i will never forget about you.

we love you so much

i love you Rosie And Carlos

Amanda,

I still remember when I met you on Untouchables in 4th grade. Even then I thought you were an incredible cheerleader. I was excited when I came to Eisenhower and found out I got the privlage of cheering with you again. I remembered all the funny times we used to have. I know everyone says this, but I have to agree that you were ALWAYS smiling. And your laugh was so contagious. I LOVED being around you, you could always make me laugh. We were always making fun of eachother too! Remember or fist football game against shepard? We were actually winning and we were all so excited. I guess I got too excited and I did that crazy, wierd jump and you and Brenda could not stop laughing. You were seriously rolling on the ground laughing so hard. I never heard the end of that one. And remember Big Dipper when me, you Lauren and Sarah wanted pickles soooo bad? I told Scheidt that I had to pee really bad so she told me to go and we all grabbed our money and ran out. I remember you got the biggest one and juice was dripping all over you! That was so funny! I can honestly only think of good memories Mandi. God I miss you girl! At our game last friday, for first quarter, we did "get up get busy" and I kept thinking about our game in cal city when we practiced in the hall way. You were right in front of me and we watched eachother through the reflection on the wall and you were making fun of me because I was going the opposite way than everyone else. It made me want to cry to think about it. I dont even wanna cheer without you. You were so much to me, the team and everyone that knew you. You were such a great person and I cant believe that your gone. It doesnt make sense, it doesnt feel real. But I know your in a better place now. I try not to think of all the things you will miss but how lucky you are. You are in such a wonderful place and I know God will take care of you sweetheart. You will never hurt again. You'll never have to loose a cheerleading competition or a soccer game, no boy will ever break your heart and youll never have to feel the pain of loosing a loved one. Your surrounded by nothing but love and one day you mom and dad and all of us will be with you again. And Amanda I promise I will try so hard for you. I will go on because I know you would have wanted us to. I will give my all to try and bring you home a trophy. I will pray for you Mandi. I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU! YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!



Rosie,

I cant even imagine the pain you are feeling right now. All I can tell you is that in time things will get easier. Just try to think of the good times. You brought a WONDERFUL person into this world and thats something to be proud of. You and her father did such an amazing job with her. So thank you, thank you for bringing her into this world and giving me the chance to met her and love her. My thought and prayers are with you always.

Manda,

Everything I do from now on is for you. Everyday that I wake up, everything I do, its all for you. I love you n miss you terribly...love..Carmen aka Donna

Amanda was a lovely person and friend and she'll be missed forever!

Love you lots Amanda!!!

Rosie,

Amanda was always close to my heart and she still is. She will always be. I saw her as a sister to me. Her laugh always brightened my day. As for you Rosie, I looked at you as a mother and a friend. I had fun coming over and playing your piano while you weren't home : ) I'll stop by every now and then to say hi and give you a hug. Amanda was loved and still is loved tremendously amongst her peers. We will all miss her so much.

Amanda,

I am going to miss you more than I can ever say, You and Holly were like sisters and I always felt like you were my big sister. I Love you always and I know you will be there by my side as I grow up and I am going to be a great cheerleader just like you were and always will be and I will do great in school like you did. Rosie and Carlos I love you.

Love,

Arielle

Dear Amanda, when I heard that you had to leave us I was in disbelief. But soon after I knew it was all true. I instantly pictured your beautiful face & smile. You obviously made a great impact on alot of lives and are a very loved person. I knew that you were a very bright, happy and cheerful person the day that I met you at Ashley's house. You are the one & only "Mexican Amanda ". That nick name was given to you because you spent alot of your time at Ashley's house and we needed to know which Amanda we were talking to. You didn't mind, actually, it was rather cute and fit you perfectly. Not only do I absolutley adore you, but Marissa and Lauren do too. Actually, when I told Marissa about you having to leave all of us, I told her that I was going to pray for my sister, Mary to take care of you in Heaven, and Marissa's response was, " Mom you don't have to ask her, I am sure she already is taking care of her. " Well, I hope & pray for that to be true because you couldn't be in better hands. We will pray for you and your family. I will also reassure Ashley, Tracy,Amanda and Amy that when we pray & talk to you, that you are listening. And Remember, we will see you again someday ! Until then, you will not be forgotten, you will be rememberd always. We all love you, Amanda !



And to your parents & family, we pray for you to get through life without Amanda. I know that you are proud to have had a daughter who has touched so many people. She was an angel when she was here & still is even though she had to leave.

everyone,

we all loved amanda,and no matter how far away she is from us we will never forget her.even though she is not here,she is in a better place now.this is not goodbye.we will all see and be with her again someday.amanda touched all of our lives and hearts with her love and care for everone.she still loves us all and we all still love her.you will be forever in our hearts amanda!we love you.may you rest in peace

Manda was one of my best friends. I met her in cheerleading in the 4th grade. We became incredibly close at the end of the 7th grade. We've been through a lot together, but our friendship has always been strong. She had that smile that just made everything so much better, her laughs (she had so many!) made others laugh, her heart was one of the biggest hearts in the world. She is one of the greatest people ive ever met in my life and i know she's watching over us. She always defended us and tried to make us smile, no matter what the cost. Manda will never leave us...we had more great times than grains of sand in the world. She left such a huge impact on so many lives that its so hard to imagine life without her. I love her so much and i miss her like crazy, but i know that shes still here, maybe not in body, but in mind and heart. She was great at everything she did. Manda i love you and i wont ever forget anything ever! i love you n miss you so much.



Rosie-you are the coolest! I told you this already but im telling you again...you did a kick ass job with her. I have never met anyone like her. She's beautiful inside and out. She had one of the biggest hearts ive ever known in my life and i thank you so much for her. You were like a mom to all of us...you still have all of us. I love you Rosie!!



Ramon-Manda had so much to say about you. When you lived in Vegas she always talked about you and played the music you listened to. When you moved here she was so excited. I want to thank you too for having her. She was my best friend, she had a lot of good friends. We are all here for you and Rosie and your family. We love her very very much..

I MISS YOU N LOVE YOU MANDA

I will always remember my best friend Amanda. We did everything together no matter what it was. I still remember the first time that i talked to her. It was in 7th grade and we have been best friends ever since. Then me, amanda, carmen, lauren, and michelle all became the best of friends and we all always did everything together after that. We all remember when we went to six flags two years in a row. It was so much fun being with amanda she always made all of us laugh. she always had a big huge smile on her face and that always put a big smile on my face and im sure that she put a smile on her other friends faces too. Even if someone was having a bad day amanda would always find some way to make you laugh. I will never forget about the time that me and amanda were in her room just laying in her bed and we were listening to the enigma cd and we both just started crying because it made us think of our dads and we were both so sad because they both lived by theirsleves far away and we rarley got to see them. Amanda and i had a lot in common. I'll also never forget how amanda was always hungry and she would never want to make anything to eat so she would always make me make her something to eat and i loved her very much so i would always make her something to eat. She would always say when me and jim get married some day I'm never goin to want to cook so when were hungry were just goin to come over to your house and eat. I will never forget those thing along with a lot of other memories that i have with her. She was my best friend and she always will be even though she is not here with me i can still talk to her and I will. She will always be i my heart no matter what. I Love you Amanda. R.I.P.

Honestly, I don't know what to say. I'm speechless. The only thing that I do is Dream---I Dream about all the days that Holly, Mandie and myself spent together. Since Mandi moved next door, you could not tear us apart - No matter if we got mad - and we got mad with each other all of the time. But five minutes later, we were together again. We were always there for each other. I have so many memories - Good and Bad , Mostly GOOD!!! We were all alike, but Manda was the Good one, and that's what I liked. She kept my head straight, always making me laugh. I can still see her BIG SMILE, acting Goofy, cheerful and always smiling that Cheesy smile. We even became Cheerleaders together. I miss her soooo much. I loved that girl - she was my sister - I knew that if I ever needed help - I could run to her and she would be there for me. I never expected this day to come - This is too soon. I will always be Glad that she was a part of my life and she will be with me forever. If I could trade places with her, believe me I would in a heartbeat. She was a beautiful soul and had such a Beautiful life ahead of her. I will alwasy Cherish all of our younger years together and she will always be in my Life - keeping me on the straight and narrow. Our Hearts will always be combined and she will remain there until I die. I LOVE YOU Mandi - May God take you in his Arms and keep you safe and may He help you watch over us - We will neeed you always.

Amanda,

I don't know what to say. You meant everything to me. You were my best friend. No matter how I felt you always knew what to do to make me happy and laugh. We have had so many good times together and I will never forget all the memories we have shared. Remember all the people in that 70's show. Your mom as red you as Jackie and me as midge. Everytime I hear the song I'll fly with you I will think of you and how we always listened to that song over and over. You were always there to listen to anyting I had to say and to give me advice. We had so much fun together, even if we were just sitting in your room on the computer or in your kitchen eating. I am so happy we got to spend all the time together that we did. You were a great friend and person. I will always miss you and I will never forget all the times we shared. Nobody will ever be able to replace you. You will always be in my heart and with me everywhere I go. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. You'll always be my friend no matter how far apart we are. I love you and miss you alot. Rest in Peace.



Rosie, I love you and if you ever need anything or to talk to someone I will always be here.

Amanda touched all our hearts and left each and every one of us with a part of her heart and happiness...she had alot to go around. Whenever I saw her she had a smile on her face, and the only time that would change is when one of her friends was feeling down. She did not get to enjoy life, but what she did do is set the tone for all of us...she lead by example and followed her heart. Mandie was always taking charge, and she loved being able to boss everyone around but i dont no how many people listened to her. She has so many friends, it is inspiring that someone that young could touch so many lives but she found a way to do it. All of us loved her no matter what and some of us may have had some hard feelings but she found ways to get over it no matter what the cost......we have been through the thick and thin and she was like a sister to me and words can't explain how much she meant to me and how many memories I have of her in my heart always and forever.

Amanda,



You touched the hearts of so many with your gentle and loving smile. The sparkle of your eyes always brought a smile to everyone that caught a glimpse of it.



When I coached you in 7th grade volleyball I saw incredible potential in your athletic ability. You jumped with ease due to the tremendous energy you had inside. It was sweet to see you go from being a shy first year player to a confident experienced player.



Living right around the corner from your home and watching you on cheerleading teams with Aubrey and Julia allowed me to see you grow into a lovely young lady. Your parents should be very proud of the guidance they provided you.



God Bless you Amanda - we all know that the Lord caught you in His soft hand as your time to enter His Kingdom came.



Rosie, you did a great job raising Amanda. She was a sweet girl. Our hearts and prayers are with you and your family.



Love,

Paul, Carmelita, Julia, Aubrey, Sara & Taylor

Rosie & family...

No words can ever mend the pain you must feel. Your Amanda was a special gift to all that she touched. She was a wonderful cheerleader, friend, and person. Thank you and your family for sharing her with all of us and for teaching so many how easy it is to love and give. I have many memories of her and the other girls together, always with her smiling face. It was a honor for me to be her coach , you will always have an angel at your side, and I will always hold that angel close to my heart.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Rosie,

Hi its Mike, I can not explain how much Amanda meant to all of us. It was really fun just coming over sometimes and hanging out, even talking with you in the kitchen. We all miss Amanda and the fun times we had but we need to remember those times. Amanda was a good person, and I know you are very very proud of her, she was one of my close friends and I will never forget her. We all will never forget the great times and the fun we all had together as a group. If you need anything you can email or call, we will always stop by and check up on you, and you will never leave our hearts either.

Amanda, I will always remember you standing in the driveway in your Eisenhower cheerleading outfit the night I yelled at the boys for letting you think you were going to walk home at 10:30 on a Friday night from our house. I will remember you being the best female soccer player the AYSO will ever see. Or the times when Andy would say you were the best looking girl at St. Benedict's and how lucky Jimmy was to be your boyfriend. Or the times when you all would cram into Mikey's room to listen to music and talk. May you know how much the St. Benedict Class of 2002 loves you and misses you.



Rose, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Don't hesitate to lean on any of us during this difficult time. God Bless You!

Amanada was a shining star with a gleaming smile. She knew exactly how to brighten a day with just a glance, Amanda had something special, something that could turn your frown upside down and made you laugh in the process. Amanda had a place for all of her friends in her heart and she will always have a place in mine. I love you Amanda and my prays are with you always!

Gone but never forgotten....Amanda's bright smile remains in our thoughts and hearts. Our prayers are not only for Amanda, but for her family who will now feel her absence, as will we. God bless.



Amanda,

Thanks for making me laugh during those tough "Untouchable" moments! I will certainly miss your ear to ear smile.



Love, Elena

Rosie and Carlos -



Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. If you need anything at all, know that we are here.

Rosie-

Words are hard to find that can even come close to the heartfelt sympathy we feel. Know you and your family are in our thoughts & prayers. May God bless you and cherish the young lady now among them in the heavens above.

I never had the privilege of meeting you Amanda, but my son Bobby and daughter Kelli considered you a good friend. I know you were highly thought of and well-liked. And I know there will be a huge hole in all of your friends' lives where you used to be.



I think about your family constantly, and cannot get them out of my mind. No parent should have to say good-bye to their cherished child first.



I know you are up in heaven with our God, and you are a beautiful little angel looking down on us.



Rest in peace Amanda.

Dear Rosie,

She was a wonderful person to know and love. She will be missed by many people who knew her. I can remember all the times that Dean would tease her when she would come over. I can also remember when she would come home with you and Carlos and she would always say hi to Monica and Michelle when she would see them. We will miss her very much. Especially when she would have to come over for the key to your house. You and your family are in our hearts and our prayers. Mandi you will be missed by many whose lives you have touched.

The Korso Family

Rosie,



I am praying for you and your family to give you strength. God is with you and it is he who will walk you through these dark moments.

Rosie,



I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May God comfort you and give you peace during this difficult time.



With deepest sympathy,

Gianna

Rosie, may God be with you and your family at this time and every day of your life. My prayers are with you and your family.

Amanda's time with us was short, however, she still had a lasting impact on our lives and especially my son, Jim. Amanda is Jim's first love and she will be in his heart forever. I extend my sympathies to her family and many friends and know that she is an angel watching over those she holds dear to her. She was a sweet and beautiful girl and our family will miss her.

I miss amanda so much. She was my first best friend while i was young, i grew up with her and did everything with her. We were always laughing or doing something goofy.

So many people are left empty now, (I miss you and luv you mandi)

I miss amanda very much. This is something i would have never had dreamed of happening. She was my first best friend i ever had while i was young, we grew up together, we were always together. Everyone is left empty now, we miss her so much. we luv u Mandi and you will always be in our hearts

You were so full of life, Always smiling and carefree. Life loved you being a part of it, And i love you being a part of mine. You could make anyone laugh, If they were having a bad day. No matter how sad i was, You could take the hurt away. Nothing could ever stop you, Or even make you fall. You were ready to take on the world. Ready to do it all. But GOd decided he needed you, So from this world you left. But you took a piece of all of us, Our hearts are what you kept. Your seat is now empty, And it's hard not to see your face. But please always know this, No one will ever take your place. You left without a warning, Not even saying good-bye. And i cant seem to stop, Asking tha question why. Nothing will ever be the same, Grandma's house will be empty without your laughter. But i know you're up in heaven, Watching over us and looking after. I didnt see this coming, It hit me by surprise. And when you left this world, A piece of us died. I remember the times when we were little, Doing whatever we can think of. And the last time i ever saw you, You were in the car infront of me, Waiting to go home from Christma's eve. Your smile could brighten anyone's day, No matter what they were going through. And i know every day for the rest of my life, I will be missing you.





We cannot tell what may happen to us in the strange medley of life. But we can decide what happens in us, how we take it waht we do with it--and that is what really counts in the end

Dearest Rosie, seek comfort through each of the cherished memories, trust in the Lord, your loving family and faithful friends, for you will not walk alone and each of us will stand by to offer our support to help you find peace. God bless you.



Steve Simkus

Since I can remember Amanda and I were very close. She always let anyone close to her know how she felt. And when she acted really silly she always made you laugh. She would always say she was picked on but she knew that we cared and loved her so much. I will always, always, remember her and how much she cared for the ones she loved. Amanda I love and miss you so much!
