Today marks the 40th anniversary of your birth. You are Forever 31. You are Forever loved and always missed by me. How I long to see you again, in that glad glorious day when we are all regathered together again! Until then, rest in His presence and peace. I love you, my precious daughter. I look forward to seeing a part of you live on in your granddaughter who will be born in less than 2 weeks. She will be named Oakley Dawn!

It's been 8 years since you left us to go be with the Lord ...
Not a day goes by without me thinking about you ...
I just told your mom last night about how much I still remember the evening that I saw you for the very last time...
I will ALWAYS be your Daddy B
I will ALWAYS LOVE YOU...
I promise to take care of your Mom
Always and Forever.... 

I can not believe that it has been 8 years since I last saw your beautiful face or heard your sweet little laugh. 8 years. Mommy misses you so very much. You would be happy to know that I have grown so much in the Lord since then. It is only because of my faith that I have not only survived this but I have actually thrived. Until that glad and glorious day when we are all reunited together in Heaven, may you continue to rest in His peace and His glorious light. I love you Amanda Dawn. Forever and always.

Happy Birthday sissy always and forever. Enjoy your party in heaven ❤️

As I sit and reflect on this, the 39th anniversary of your birth into my world, I am flooded with so many memories of that day. Your Papa had just picked up some pizza for me, your Nanny and your Aunt Yvonne. I was so overdue in my pregnancy (almost 3 weeks overdue) and I had been feeling nauseous again, just like morning sickness. I had a sense that something wasn't right but I wanted to trust the Dr who said everything was fine. Before I could even eat any pizza I felt the contractions so I began timing them. They were 5 minutes apart so I knew it was time to go to the hospital. Nanny drove me and Aunt Yvonne (she was my labor coach) to the ER. They wheeled me up quickly to Labor and Delivery. The monitor quickly revealed a distressed fetal heartbeat so they made the decision to do an emergency C-section so they could get you out and give you needed oxygen, etc. I was so afraid I was going to lose you. You came into the world on that evening of March 4th, 1984, weighing 8 lbs and 10 Oz. You had to spend 24 hours in the intensive care receiving IV antibiotics and oxygen but you looked healthy and had a strong cry with good coloring to your skin. I was so relieved you were going to be okay! Your Nanny said you were like a ray of sunshine and that is what you were to everyone who knew you. You were a beautiful ray of light. I thank God for blessing me as your mom for 31 years. I love you forever and for always, my beautiful ray of sunshine. Until we see each other again in God's glorious kingdom, rest easy in His presence.

Merry Christmas in heaven my sweet guardian angel ❤️

Merry Christmas in Heaven my sweet precious daughter. This was always your favorite time of year and I always miss you more during this time of year than at any other time of the year. Oh, Amanda, you just would not believe how much things have changed here on earth. Your girls are growing into beautiful young ladies and while I'm not saying that even the oldest one is near ready to become a Mom, I am so sorry that you will never get to experience the most wonderful feeling of becoming a grandmother. Your baby sister had a dream come true wedding and she seems so very happy and settled now. I love you Amanda with more love than can be expressed. Rest in the Glorious presence of our Lord until that day when we all are caught up to be together forever into eternity.

This date will never be easy. Feels like yesterday when we found out our angel gained her wings. Fly high sissy I know you watch over us and I feel you often.

7 years ago today my heart was shattered when I lost you, my precious daughter. How I long to hold you in my arms and hear your sweet voice again. Our Lord is helping me to continue on living until that day, that moment when I am reunited with you in the Glorious presence of Jesus. Until then, rest easy in His loving arms. I love you forever and always, Amanda Dawn.

Happy Birthday Amanda! I never got to meet you but I’ve heard so much about you. You are missed. You are loved.

Happy 38th birthday in heaven, my precious forever 31 year old daughter, Amanda Dawn. I continue to love you and miss you beyond words. My heart aches to see you again and I know there will be a wonderful reunion in heaven, one day. Until then, I will continue to live and seek God and His purpose for the rest of my life. Rest in His glorious presence and peace, my sweet angel baby. I love you forever.

Hi aunt Amanda… i don’t even know where to start i miss you with every bone in my body and i wish you where still here. I know your in a better place now and your free and happy now. I miss being held in your arms. I miss coming home to you and your beautiful smile. I love you….

Hi momma… this is my first time ever posting anything to you publicly and it’s hard to put so many emotions into words but I will try. I miss you. I miss you so much. Everyone always says that with time grief gets easier but for me it’s getting harder. I have finally come back home to our family and everywhere I look I see the holes where you used to be. I wish every day that I could come home and you would be there too. It’s hard to be around our family for the first time since you’ve been gone, but we are all going through the same pain so we stick together. I can’t believe it’s been 6 years. It was only yesterday when I received that life shattering phone call. Over the years I have had so many emotions, confusion, grief, anger, sadness, and even joy. Knowing that you are finally at peace and no longer have to face any struggles or feel any pain ever again is enough to keep me going. Keep living it up up there momma!! I love you so much.

3 days before Christmas and I have you on my mind and in my heart. I miss you so much. So so much. I love you Amanda Dawn forever and always. I am getting older and I don't know when my time will be but I do know that when I get to the other side I will be so overcome with joy and peace, to be in our Lord's presence and to see your beautiful face once again, my precious little baby that God blessed me with for 31 years on this earth. He blessed me with 3 beautiful children and I am forever and ever grateful to have been honored with that. I love you so much, my beautiful daughter. Your loving Mom.

6 years ago today since your presence left this earth and shattered my world. My heart is being held together by the glue of our Lord's Hand so I stay very close to Him. I am so much more sensitive than I've ever been before and I have to guard my heart in order to prevent triggers that try to unleash all of that traumatic pain and grief. I love you always and forever my precious daughter. Until that glad day in Gloryland rest in His peace.

Love you sissy always and forever always in my heart! ❤️

Happy heavenly birthday my precious precious daughter. You would have turned 37 today but instead you are forever 31 and I wonder what you would look like by now. I close my eyes and visualize your eyes still with that same light shining out at the world. I see a few more slight wrinkles around the edges that show you have some maturity. I see your sweet little smile and your gorgeous dimples still looking the same as always. Maybe a few wrinkles on your forehead! Overall I visualize you as still looking so beautiful and so sweet. I miss you more than I can ever explain in words. I love you so very very much my sweet girl. Until we are reunited in God's glorious kingdom, rest in His glorious peace and presence.

My sweet sister, I love you so much and not a day goes by that I don’t think of you. You visited me in my dream a few weeks ago. I’m grateful to know you are still close by me all the time. Fly high with those beautiful Angel wings that God gave you. We are not the same down here with out you. ❤️

I cannot believe that today marks 5 years since that awful day that I got the call telling me that you were gone. Our Lord has ever so gently led me through this grief journey and it is only because of Him that I survived it. I could not imagine living in a world where my precious child no longer existed. I ran into the arms of our Lord and have not left from there. I am safely tucked underneath His wing and He graciously protects me. Until the day He calls me home I will stay here and always and forever love you and miss you, beyond comprehension. I will see you again, my dear sweet Amanda Dawn. Mommy loves you eternally.

Happy Birthday in heaven sissy! Love you always!!!

Happy birthday in heaven, my precious daughter. Today you would have turned 36 years old. A mom never forgets the day that her precious baby arrives into the world. I will never forget that day. You were an 8lb 12oz bundle of pure sunshine into my life. You were 2 1/2 weeks overdue. You had an arrival date of Feb 15th but didn't arrive for 2 1/2 weeks later on March 4th. You were big enough but still had to go to the neonatal ICU to receive prophylactic IV antibiotics because you were meconium stained. They rolled me into that unit to see you and you were laying amongst all of those tiny prematurely born babies. You were crying out loud and seemed so strong. Then you grew up so petite and small! I will never forget that day and how I was so worried about you in that ICU. 24 hours later they wheeled you into my room in your bassinette and that's where you stayed until we went home together. Happy birthday Amanda Dawn. Love forever and always, your loving mommy.

Today marks 4 years since you went Home to our beloved Saviour' s arms. He has held together my shattered heart and healed me and forever changed me. You would be so happy to know how close I am walking with our Lord. I still miss you beyond description and I yearn for the day I will see your beautiful smile again when we are reunited in the glorious Presence of God. Until then, rest in peace, my beautiful daughter. I love you Amanda Dawn.

Hey Manda, I didn't forget you, just left my fone at home when I left work work.. Happy Birthday!! Luv and miss ya very much

Happy Birthday Momma! I miss you and I hope you have a great day in Heaven <3

Happy birthday in heaven my sweet precious daughter, Amanda Dawn. Today you would have turned 35 years old...instead you are forever 31. I miss you more than words can ever describe. My Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ continues to carry me through this pain until the day He calls me Home and we will then be reunited forever in His Kingdom. I love you forever and always!

My Beloved Mother. I cannot express how hard it is to think about you being gone. I cannot remember the last thing I said to you but I know that I regret not saying I love you... I miss you and love you beyond words.

Love you always Sis....... ❤️

Amanda
What a precious Angel!!
Always in our hearts, never forgotten
Much love
Michelle Hunsinger

3 years ago today you went to our Lord's arms for your heavenly rest until resurrection day. I have finally accepted that it really happened and accept that you are gone.....gone but never forgotten. Our Lord is carrying me through this life and until that glorious day when we are reunited, I will lean on Him and be at peace. I love you forever and ever, my precious, beautiful child.

I just wanted to say how much I really do miss you my dear sweet friend. I think of you often and how I wish I could just talk to you. You were my best friend and that on person I could just tell you anything.  I love you Manda and still can't not believe your gone.

Happy 34th birthday to you my precious forever 31 year old daughter, Amanda Dawn. I love you so very very deeply and I miss you more than any word can describe. I am now in the third year of life without you here and my grief triggers seem further apart, which makes it a little easier on the pain in my heart. There will always be a hole in my heart but our Lord and Saviour is filling it each new day with His peace and His gentle love. Until I see you again, rest gently and peacefully in Jesus loving arms. I miss you so very much, until then, my baby, my precious daughter. Love, your mommy.

Missing you Manda, I always will

Dearest love of mine, 2 years have passed since you left us physically. Just know you will NEVER leave our hearts and minds. I was doubly blessed, to have known you, and to have loved you. I thank God every time I think about you and that infectious smile, and the 14 years you were in my life. Happy Angelversary. "I Miss you, but I'll be home soon".....I love you babyluv

It has now been 2 years since I have been able to see you, hug you or hear your sweet voice. I still miss you beyond belief and long to hold you in my arms. This 2nd year has been rough since the numbness and shock are gone and I have had to walk in this grief fully feeling it. There are still moments when I can't breathe and wonder how can I go on without one of my children in this world. God is showing me how day by day and moment by moment. Gratitude. Grateful that I had you for even just 31 years. Grateful to have known you and felt your love. Until we meet again....rest in our Saviors loving presence.

Happy birthdAy Manda... I miss u so much, I long to have one more conversation with you but One day we'll meet again best friend.. I love you always

Today marks the day you would have turned 33 years old. Happy birthday in Heaven my sweet precious daughter. I love you and miss your presence here more than words can say. I am growing stronger and can now remember my memories of you with less pain and more smiles. Until we see each other again, I will keep the faith and continue my spiritual growth.

Heaven must be throwing you a party, for its most beautiful angel! Our babies are doing great! Love and miss you, Babyluv. Happy Birthday

As Thanksgiving approaches, I remember last year's gathering and realize that was the last holiday I would have with you. That Saturday Dec 5th would be the last time I saw you and Sunday Dec 6th would be the last time I heard your voice. Life, for me, is so very different now. I will never let anyone forget that you mattered and your life mattered. I love you Amanda Dawn, now and forever.

There is not a day that goes by that we dont think of you and miss u so much.. there are so many memories..u became my best friend and sister ....also like the first time u saw me dip my pizza in to pudding that look u had was priceless... are forever in our hearts and miss u so much...hank u for everything.... love u

Not a single day goes by that you aren't in the forefront of all of my thoughts. I know in life, you weren't sure how much I loved you. I am confident that in death, you have no longer any doubt. I love you. I miss the smell of your perfume. I miss your smile. I miss watching those sappy chick flicks with you, like "A walk to remember". I miss everything about you.

You came into my life, Babyluv, at around 4pm on September 16, 2001. From that day on, my life was profoundly changed for the better. We may not have stayed together physically, but spiritually and emotionally, you were and are my soul mate. I miss you every second of every day. Forever and always, angel. Happy 32nd baby. I love you.

Happy 32nd "earth day" to my Heavenly daughter. Your first one in Heaven with Jesus. Fly high my baby.

I have changed profoundly and have become so enlightened through this, I thank God for the good coming out of it.

I will never forget you.

To the Family and Friends of Amanda,

Please except my deepest condolences. Although I didn't have the pleasure of knowing Amanda, I know that you will remember her forever. Amanda is also in the memory of God. "The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life" (John 5:28,29) I hope that you'll find comfort in knowing that you can see your loved one again during a time when "death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." (Revelation 21:4)"

Even after one week I can't find the words for it is a grief so deeply profound that it can't be expressed in words. Somehow I must find a way to go on, for she would want that. But every fiber of my being longs for an invitation to her homecoming celebration. I will never stop longing to see her again and to hear her voice.
