AMANDA COTA Tribute

I went to Pleasant Valley School with Amanda. She was always kind and funny. Always such a joy to hang out with. She loved to give her all in everything she did. And she also loved to teach others her trade. She loved taking care of her sheep and showing them at the Mid State Fair. I remember one year she put every penny she got for selling her animals to restoring the older building that used to be the school. But that was how she was, selfless every chance she got. Overall she was an amazing person and i was extremely shock when i found out what happened. I was also very confused as to why someone would want to do that to such a sweet and innocent girl. As for the ones who did this, they shall receive there judgment through God. May God be with all her family and friends.
--"Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints."
Psalms 116:15 --

May she forever rest in peace

It took me a long time to say something about what happened to Amanda. and maybe it has to do with the quickly approaching anniversary of her death but the emptiness isn't quite as bad as it was before.
I probably don't have the right to say I am still grieving, or that I still feel the pain of her leaving us, and even if it overstepping my bounds I just wanted to say that I miss her so much, and I'm so sorry for not being there.

I have so many memories of Amanda, and I regret letting my own problems cloud my friendship with her, I wish I had stayed in touch with her after I had left PRHS. She was such an amazing person, and she was the first to ever make me feel appreciated, she had this gentle way of distracting me from everything going on around me.

She gave me my first Valentine ’s Day present, left a rose laying on my desk. I knew it was from her, few people cared enough to do anything like that.

I miss her, and it was cowardly of me to wait so long to face the pain of saying so. I hate that I was able to escape her absence while everyone else had to face the sharp reality of it.

I know that a few word won't add up to anything, but the only thing I can say is:

I loved the beautiful person you were Amanda, I loved the way you could light up a room or that smile you'd get when one of the guys teased you. I miss you and I always will.

Everything I could say has been said before only better:
Amy says she's all alone
Says the world doesn't even know
About the pain she hides inside
Says happiness is just a lie
Smell the roses throw them down
Just whisper, don't make a sound
Don't want the world to know the truth
You've been broken and abused...by you

And Amy says
I see you laughing at the rain that hits your face
With your arms stretched open soaking in the love
In a world I found so hard you finds so beautiful
There's a hope in you deep inside for me

The colors of her mind
Bleed into each other
And as the morning melts the night
And the stars enchant another
While her eyes are still held shut
She can hear you breathing softly
Your words echo in her mind
And your words are clear
And she knows that you are here
You are here

I see her laughing at the rain that hits her face
With her arms stretched open soaking in the love
In a world she found so hard she finds so beautiful
There's a hope in her deep inside for you

I see her laughing at the rain that hits her face
With her arms stretched open soaking in the love
In a world she found so hard she finds so beautiful
There's a hope in her deep inside for you
