On September 24th 1989 at 3:00 p.m. my Beautiful baby was born in the bronx,N.Y.  Amanda was my fourth child, we had already Allison, Jason and Elvis. We were excited to be "Blessed with another girl,she made us all so complete." Amanda was always such a happy baby,her eyes were penetrating with green/gold . Amanda learned to follow her big brothers and at age 3, she was a wiz at Mario brothers video games. Amanda as a child laughed all the time and "clown" around with them. Amandas big sister enjoyed dressing little Mandie with big hats and painting her nails (red) thats where she learned to love "fashion" very quickly.

Amanda grew up in the Bronx, N.Y. she attended the Super Start Program at P.S. 161 at age 4 and graduated from Kindergarten the following year there. Amandas brothers and sister all attented P.S.161 also.

In 1995,we moved to Pennsylvania.Amanda attended Coolbaugh Learning Center in Tobyhanna,where she graduated and finished First grade. Then continued in the Coolbaugh Elementary School until she finished. In this school is where she started making her true friends. Amandas first true friend was Jackie, they were inseparable. They were like(sisters) always laughing and calling each other on the phone. I really enjoyed watching them they were always so "silly" at times.Amanda was always such a happy girl! Amanda loved horseback riding and caring for homeless kittens. She just loved to help the needy.Amanda had such a (soft) spot for little creatures.

Amanda continued her life finishing school at Pocono Mountain West High School and then attended Pocono Mountain Charter School in 2005. While in the Pocono Mountain Charter School,she got involved in the School Paper also learned to play the Violin in (music) Class. Amanda also got involved in activities for the younger grades. There her little sister Angelica also attended there with her,and together she planned after school fun, for the kids. They had face painting, movie nite on fridays something My Amanda loved (movies) on Fridays.Amanda at age 15 she got her first job at the Quik Shop.She so excited there,everybody was so sweet to my Daughter ,I Guess it was That Special "Charm" Amanda showered on all of them."

Amanda was so excited about everything once she turned 18 years old. Amanda just graduated from Pocono Mountain West High School achieving Honors.

In 2007, Amanda started working at Wal-Mart in Mount Pocono. She worked hard,and got so much admiration for her dedication. She enjoyed everybody and worked in the shoe department during her time there.

Amanda was planning to spend some time with her friends on Wednesday January 23rd, it was her day (off). She left our home at noon. Amanda was a very caring person, that day she headed to a friends house.Amanda got into a accident while driving behind her friends. she didn't survive her injuries she was found dead at the scene. Amanda broke all our HEARTS that day!!! Our Lives Will Never Be The Same Again !!!!

         I read this in a Paper and thought It can Bless Everyone Who Read This:

                 To Those I Love

When I am gone,just release me, let me go - so I can move into my afterglow. You mustn't tie me down with your tears; let's be happy that we had so many years. I gave you my love, you can only guess how much you gave me in happiness. I thank you for the love you each have shown, but now it's time i traveled on alone.

So grieve for me awhile;if you must,then let your grief be comforted with trust. It's only for a while that we must part,so bless the memories within your heart. And then,when you must come this way alone,I'll greet you with a smile and a "Welcome Home"
