My heart breaks for my sweet cousin, Ryan Joseph. He and Amanda were so very happy and excited to be engaged.

Amanda always took the time to comment on pictures of my little boys on Facebook. Her comments were so warm and kind. She already felt like family.

My heartfelt condolences on the loss of beautiful Amanda.

My name is Deborah Kimball Crosslin,and I taught Amanda @ Markham Park School.I've always said I can recognize my former students by their smiles,because I held their smiles in my heart.Amanda's smile was like a forever burning Christmas candle to me....Her eyes were sparkled with joy and she would try things until she got to know them.Thank you for blessing me to be one of her teachers,and bless her loved ones with precious memories.

Out prayers are with the family and friends. We will miss her loving spirit and gorgeous smile and laughter. See u again our friend in heaven.

I am so sorry for the loss of Amanda, my prayers are with my cousin Ryan Showalter and his family, and especially Amanda Petty's family...

We are so devastated by the loss of Amanda. What a wonderful, one of a kind, funny, vivacious, kind and sweet person she was. We were so ecstatic when Ryan proposed to her. We would have been so proud and over the moon to have her as our daughter-in-law. She will be in our hearts forever. Our sincere condolences to Sam and Patty, you raised a true angel. To Ryan, please know that we will be here for you always.

Love and God bless,

To Our Wonderful Niece Amanda, We will miss the beautiful smile and friendly greetings when we would get together, you were always so happy to be around family and friends, especially at our Picnic's & Family doings. We always looked forward to your hugs and a kiss. All of us were busy with our jobs and only got to visit & laugh together a few times during the year, but now, whenever We hear the name Amanda, you will appear in our minds, you will never be forgotten. Love You Always.
Uncle Ken & Aunt Kathy

Thoughts and healing prayers to everyone that was touched by Amanda! You will be missed!

I'm sorry for your incredible loss. I can't even imagine how you get through this but I believe you will. We never get over a huge loss but eventually it gets put in a special place. It helps to know that she will live on by helping others.

Amanda,

You will be missed dearly. I remember hanging with you, Tina Spain, Susie S, and even Chrissy Cobb at your house everyday during the summer from our Markham Park School days. I also remember you always calling your mom at work, asking here if we could make "smores" in the house (in the microwave.) I'm sure your mom remembers that as well. And, swinging in your fathers hammock outside even though we were not allowed to. Sorry Sammy. :) Last, I remember us watching MTV in your back room....Dire Straits, "Money for Nothing." You will be sorely missed. Love you,

To know Amanda is to love Amanda. Such a sweet, kind,gentle, cheerful, & loving person she was. We will miss her more than words can express. Our heartfelt condolences to her parents & to her wonderful fiancé, Ryan Showalter. May God bless all, &may Amanda rest in God's eternal peace. Bob & Joan Quillman

Amanda's cheerfulness and infectious laugh are what we will remember most about her. What a beautiful spirit she had! May she rest in peace and may those who loved her most find solace in the positive impact she had on their lives.

Sincerest condolences to Ryan and the Showalters and to Amanda's family. I was devastated when I heard the news of her sudden death. I was so happy just weeks earlier when Ryan and Amanda got engaged. Amanda and Ryan were such a happy couple, as all the photos show so well. I was always proud of my Godson Ryan, and elated at his engagement to beautiful Amanda. Ryan, you and Amanda will always be in my prayers.

Amanda you were such a beautiful soul. I am still trying to wrap my head around that you are no longer here. Your smile and laugh was so infectious. I treasure the years we worked together. You were a blast to be with. May you rest on peace sweetheart.

Amanda was so genuine and loving, just a beautiful human being. She loved to laugh and have fun, and brought everyone else up too. Our hearts break for Mr. and Mrs. Petty, and for our nephew Ryan. May you find comfort in knowing that Amanda is present with the Lord, and she will always live on in our hearts. We will never forget her.

Me and Amanda grew up together since we were babies, lived across the street from her for 20 years, been best friends half of our lives, I will forever miss her kindness and her smile. God took her to suddenly but he had better plans for her in heaven, needed someone to always put a smile on the Angels faces. To Patty, Sam and Ryan, I am sorry for your loss she is always going to be missed. Love you Amanda!

I remember the day you were born. You were such a joy to Sammy and Pat, and such a wonderful addition to two fantastic families, the Petty's and the Beans. You always had a great disposition, smile and laugh. You will certainly be missed by many. RIP dear little lady.

Amanda you were such a lovely girl always smiling and bubbly. I remember having you in my class at ATA....I will never forget your great smile...Rest in peace sweetie.

Amanda was such a joy to work with.. Always had a smile on her face or a kind word to say.. Amanda Will definitely be missed.. Love you Gurl

Words can't express how sad I am amanda..I remember every year on new years we would debate on whether the Cavaliers or bulls would win or how we used to look at different rap videos on YouTube lol..oh my god you gave me so many laughs especially when me, you, tasha, "whoosie", julie, and Sarah would goof off..and here comes Aubrey around the corner lol..man we had good times and I'm really going to miss you my 8 south buddy!!!

We will miss Amanda so much and the joy and happiness she brought to our family. She would light up the room when she entered. I so admired the way Amanda could make friends wherever she went. She really loved her family and friends. Most of all, I was thrilled that my Godson and nephew, Ryan Showalter had met the love of his life, Amanda. They shared such a wonderful life together. It was so romantic how Ryan planted a brick in Lake Geneva asking Amanda to marry him. I will always think of Amanda when I hear the sound of laughter as she brought so much happiness to all who knew her.

Love,
Therese McClowry and Steve Barry

Our hearts are broken by your loss. Just know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Petty May God be with you in your time of need. So sorry for your loss. Love you Lillian Ingalls Hospital

Words can not express the loss we feel on the loss of sweet and beautiful Amanda. She always lit up the room with her big smile and bubbly personality. She was so fearless! I so admired how she could go up to anyone and make friends instantly. My nephew, Ryan Showalter adored her, the love of his life. Little Mia has sensed the loss of Amanda also. Heaven has gained a beautiful new angel!

Love,

Therese McClowry and Steve Barry

We know words are inadequate at a time like this but we are so sorry for your loss. Amanda was such a bright light in many people's lives. My cousin Ryan loved her with all of his heart. She will be dearly missed. Kathleen and Bob

I will miss Amanda's bubbly personality and glowing smile every time I drive past where she lived. I would see her walking Mia or just sitting on the patio enjoying the day! I will miss her by the side of my nephew, Ryan, who proposed to her just this past October in Lake Geneva! May God ever so gently take her hand and guide her into an eternal life of peace and joy! She was truly loved by all of us!
