Memories

<3

Sarah March Oct 18, 2012

i wish i could come up with all the right words to say. I cant believe its been 5 years. It was also terrible that this year St. Hedwigs isnt even open anymore for there to be a memorial mass. It saddens to see how life's gone on and less and less people seem to take a moment today and think. I can't say i think of you everyday, we only somewhat knew each other, but you are always in my heart, and today is all about you, reflecting down here, and you party up the heavens tonight for us down here <3

small things that remind me of you

Samantha Jul 02, 2012

It's 2012.... a long time from the last time we last I saw you. Amazing how life just flies by....we grow older but you...you never get to....But I get to step back from reality and remember the good old days... high school.. the most we ever had to worry about was what to wear...who our friends are... who are we dating... where are we gonna sit for lunch hahaha

I just wanted to let you know that I haven't forgotten about you. I was thinking about cellphones the other day and what ones were in style or the most popular.. from razor to iphones... and i remembered you and your chocolate phone. you loved that thing. i remember listening to music with you on the bus to the indian reservation thing that we went on during Ms. Whitneys class trip... that was a blast! I think sitting in English after your death was even harder not because the seat infront of me was empty.. but I couldn't look into Ms. Whitneys eyes...you could see the hurt in her eyes..

I remember our crazy english assignment with articles... idr exactly what we did but i know everyone was stressed from it! everyone skipped classes to finish it... sitting on ms. murphys floor pasting stuff to our board with jess. ughhh did we hate that class!

I remembered when you got your bellybuttoned pierced and had to do situps for gym... haha Or when you cut your hair... it wasn't the straight long blonde hair look anymore.. then you curls it.. and eventually went brunette. it was nice to see you grow... but I will always remember the big hoops earnrngs.. or all of your phat farm and hollister clothing....your pale skin (like mine ... which reminds me when we got burned at camp fosket in 8th grade and froze to death during relay for life that night.. but thats a diff story...) and your beautiful white smile!

RIP Amanda

THIS IS FOR YOU AMANDA I HAVE LOST A LOT OF PEOPLE IN MY LIFE BUT MOSTLY THE LAST 5 YEARS AND YOUR ONE OF THEM. I HAVE CRIED MYSELF TO SLEEP AND THOUGHT WHAT COULD'VE BEEN IF YOU COULD STILL BE HERE TODAY BUT I KNOW YOU WOULD BE SUFFERING AND IN PAIN SO IN SOME I AM HAPPY YOU ARE SOMEWHERE SAFER WHERE YOU CAN REST EASY AND WATCH OVER US ALL.
