A poem I wrote just for Miss Mandy.... Sometimes you look the same in my head Just like you did before the accident When your heart strings were made of thread It's hard for me after this whole incident You never woke up again after that You didn't even get a chance to live I know you were their but we're at But I have nothing left to give You've helped me through so much But I know what I used to tell you That I wanted to be just like you as such I hope that you'll always remember me to I remember all the times we had together I can't believe your not here you won't be their anymore and forever But my heart was pierced by a spear I was so upset when I found out And now you were gone But I know that you're watching over me with no doubt Still though my heart will be alone I was there at the funeral I saw you there laying in a coffin I wish I would have stayed longer for it all But I have to much to sin And to this day I still cannot think Even after I pissed it all together How we all used to sing in sync But I know you'll be watching over me forever....

I loved Miss Mandy like she was my second mother

There are no words that can express the depth of sorrow I feel for your loss. No parent should ever have to experience the pain of losing a child. My heart aches for you, and I hope you find strength in the love and support surrounding you.

For everyone who loved Amanda

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Bean was always a great friend to me. She could always make you laugh and lift your spirits when you were feeling down. I’ll never forget bumming camel crushes from each other, going on her mom’s scavenger hunts, late night drives, and the limo ride with all her friends, just to name a few. I wish I hadn’t of lost touch with her over the years. She was a great friend and made the effort to reach out, but because of life and my own issues, I didn’t put in the effort as well. I’ll always regret that now. Life is so short, and though she left this world too soon, she left her mark on all the people whose lives she touched. I’ll be praying for your son and all your loved ones Bean. Sending them all the love and light that you gave to everyone in your life.

Rest in peace Mandy. Thoughts and prayers for your family. May God bless thm all.

I met Amanda when I moved to Georgetown at 10 years old. We used to run up and down the streets of our neighborhood with all the other neighborhood kids. During one of the ice storms Amanda, Brittany Webb, and I spent all day sledding down the hill beside my house on trash can lids after we discovered that they spin the whole way down. Years later, when we were adults, Amanda reached out to my family while my husband was battling COVID complications and she bought my kid’s Christmas presents. She was always a fun person who readily helped others when they needed it. She was a wonderful daughter, mother, and friend and will always be remembered for the light she brought into the lives of those around her.

Mandy was one of my best friends growing up. We grew up in the same neighborhood and lived across the street from each other. We did almost everything together. I remember coming over and spending the night most Friday nights. Ernie would take us to Blockbuster every Friday and let us pick different scary movies. We loved watching the really cheesy B movies and making fun of them for trying to be scary. She was never allowed out to play until her homework was done, so I would come over and help her speed through it so we could play. The reverse would happen when my mom wouldn't let me play until my room was cleaned. She would come over and "help me clean" (really she would do it for me lol). I remember one of our favorite games to play was Battle Tanks on the N64. She messaged me recently because she remembered how I would put slices of cheese in the microwave and burn it to eat it. She always thought it was weird and gave me crap for it. When she messaged me she laughed and told me that she tried it and it was actually pretty good. 😆 I really that I had to move away bc she was a grade younger than me, so I didn't get to see her much til high school. I have one memory of Mandy, Kim McLeod, Natalie Yuhasz and I would strut down the hallway during lunch. One particular time we were belting out twist and shout (way louder than we should have), and we would get a running start and do a knee slide down the hallway. I had so many good memories of her. She will be greatly missed and my heart is broken for her family, especially her son Beau. My prayers go out to them.

Bean played a huge role in the person I am today, she was one of my very best friends in middle school into high school. I will forever cherish every memory that we had, countless messages that we shared and I'll miss her loving, contagious personality and heart. I only wish to be half the woman she was, I'll miss you bean. Thanks for always checking on my loved ones and I'll know you will watch over us upstairs 💜.

I could not imagine leaving my children so early. I pray that Beau finds solace in knowing you loved him, kindness in stranger's eyes, and love from everyone he surrounds himself with as he grows. Know that our hearts have broken, unable to heal without you here, but we will continue to smile for him and the rest of your family. We share your loss today though it weighs on people differently, we all feel it. Such a good soul that makes the world so bright has been lost to us. We will wait patiently to see you again, Mandy. When we do, we will tell you all of the stories you had to miss and help you watch Beau grow through our eyes. Rest easy, friend.

Amanda was a great person and checked on me a lot while I was in the hospital after a bad motorcycle accident. Growing up she was always one of my sisters friends that was a favorite of mine. She was simply amazing and fun to be around. The world needs more people like her. I'm so sorry to the family and to her son for your loss. God rest her soul.

It’s the night before the funeral and I can’t sleep knowing when I wake I’m going to put my sister to rest.. she was too young, she was too much of a good person..

I have searched for the words to say for Amanda and have struggled to find the perfect ones for such an amazing young lady. I remember the first time my daughter, Emily, brought her home to meet me, a raven haired little doll with an easy smile that spoke years older than her age and with eyes filled with kindness. In all the years I knew her, she never lost that, when she looked at you, it was with pure kindness which is so rare in this world. People like Mandy light up rooms & lives, the world is dimmer without her in it. I was blessed to have known her.

I'll always remember you huge endless kind heart for everyone and everything. You amazed me with your talent and sharing your gift to others! I'll never forget you Ms. Mandy (Bean)

I met Mandy earlier this year at Light of Chance with the school system. She was so easy to talk to right from hello. She gave me encouragement to work with the kids and always had concern in her heart for everyone. Although I didn’t know her long, it felt as though we had with the ease of being around her. She shared with me that she’d taken some men from Emerge to her church Fall Fest. She shared the news that one of the men received salvation that night. If that’s not an angel, I don’t know what is. You are light and love Mandy. I’ll see you someday in Heaven. Save me a place…….you are terribly missed here!

Condolences and prayers of comfort

There is no words that can express the heaviness my heart feels at this worlds loss of an amazing angel. The knowledge that you have wings now, and are with God - and your beloved grandma -doesn’t help remove the hurt for us who remain. I am awed at the woman you became and the love you brought to so many. So many memories of your sweet face…

There aren't words for this great loss. Mandy was truly a light for so many people. Thank you for always being a friend , I'll see you again one day.

I’m going to miss our long talks on your way home from work, updating me about Beau and the art kids progress and how proud you were of them for overcoming their personal challenges.

So sorry for your loss. Mandy will be forever missed.

My first born daughter, Amanda Beth Bean, whom grew inside me , that I felt your life forming in my, my heart is broken. My words can not express the love I have for you. I can remember the first time I held you with your dark hair and big beautiful eyes, I remember your first heart break watching you be so strong walking across the school yard trying not to cry as you fell into my arms and when you told me you were in love that John and he was perfect for you as the smile made it to your eyes. My heart aches when I think of every fight we had as mothers and daughters sometimes do. I am so proud of the women you became. I know your in gods arms now and I am totally broken and I will never be the same for now I am a mother with a whole in her heart that can’t be mended. My love for you will alway be bigger than any words can define
