"AN ANGEL AMONG US…."
"An ANGEL walked among us...........she went almost without notice, unless u were blessed enough 2 be touched by her KINDNESS...........and her unforgettable smile. A bouncy spirit, yet fierce when the moment required her 2 be.......Oh how much we learned from her......WE LEARNED, how 2 put our differences aside, AND EMBRACE LIFE. AN ANGEL walked among us........sharing her WISDOM and kindness with anyone that needed it. NO PERSON WAS UNWORTHY OF HER TIME. A life cut short in a tragic way.......what is there 2 learn from it? ONLY TIME WILL TELL.........those that knew her, know the answers..........THEY KNOW THAT THEY MUST LIVE IN EACH AND EVERY MOMENT, LIKE IT MAY BE THEIR LAST........they know that CHILDREN R TREASURES, 2 be kept safe, and treated with RESPECT. An ANGEL walked among us.....showing honor 2 her mother..........as well as BECOMING BEST FRIENDS.....often, SHOWING MOTHER THE WAY THROUGH..........even 2 day.......her love shines through, 2 HELP US ALL GET THROUGH THE IMPACT OF THE LOSS THAT WE FEEL. AMANDA, u r missed DEEPLY by so many.....IN SO MANY WAYS. As the eve of your BIRTHDAY approaches, WE CELEBRATE YOUR LIFE, AS WELL AS, REMEMBER YOUR LIFE........there is UNDISPUTABLE EVIDENCE that ANGELS do exist.......u r one of those, that was ALLOWED 2 come into this world and make a DIFFERENCE. I am inspired daily by your MEMORY.....yeah, we cry........and we pray......but most of all, WE R GRATEFUL..........4 THE ANGEL THAT WE GOT THE OPPORTUNITY 2 KNOW….U R LOVED AMY."

HER LUV WAS LIKE A WARM COTTEN BLANKET, that warms your shoulders in the cold winter rain. BLUE EYES HAVE BEEN CRYING , each day since forever, the harvest of memories has left her such pain.
WE SPEAK OF FOREVER AS THOUGH IT IS PROMISED, then curse FATHER TIME when our moment is done. THE DAYS TURN TO MINUTES, the hours to seconds, THE FINISH LINE lingers........CAN THIS RACE BE WON?
BLUE EYES ARE AT PEACE NOW, for luv has found heaven, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN life seems to feel fine. SHE HOLDS ONTO MEMORIES, embraces them gently, AND SMILES AS SHE GAZES at luv one more time..............SHE HOLDS ONTO MEMORIES, EMBRACES THEM GENTLY, AND SMILES AS SHE GAZES AT LUV.........ONE MORE TIME.
SMILE MISSY, GOD'S GOT IT............
R.I.P AMANDA
"IF U KNEW (AMANDA'S SONG)" "I cant sleep at night, cause' im wondering where u r. And lately its been hard, so hard 4 me; 2 hide the pain that is in my heart. I remember how, life used 2 be, so many days full of joy and smiles. And like the love inside that i feel 4 u, 4 just one touch i would walk A MILLION MILES...........BUT, NOW THE LOVES GONE AWAY......IF U KNEW JUST HOW MUCH I BEEN MISSING U, IF U COULD FEEL THE PAIN IVE BEEN GOING THROUGH, IM SURE U WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT MY LOVE WAS TRUE....IF U KNEW, JUST HOW MUCH I BEEN MISSING U." In loving memory of AMANDA.............we love u MISSY........AND WE R HERE 4 U ALWAYS. TREAL PRODUCTIONS AND THE INNER "G" FAMILY.

This is all so beautiful.
But how much of this will really be?
Enough to keep me on my feet.
This is how it feels, when it's for real.
Enough for me to just believe.
But, how much can be invisible?
And ending up righthere I began.
And I'm chasing the wind.
I know that there's an art to starting
Over again. Knowing God will never
Waste the pain.You can only try so
Hard, to right a wrong.
This song will only last so long.
Life takes time, so let it live alone.
I may never know why,
I should just let it go, But do I really
Want a God that I can understand?
Still I close my eyes,
Try to reason why,
But since when do my desires,
Dominate the plan?
And I'm chasing the wind.
And ending up right
Where we begin.
I know that there's an art
to starting over again.
Knowing God will never
Waste the pain.
You can only try so hard,
To right a wrong.
This song will only last so long.
Life is just the art of living on.
And life is in slow motion.
And when the silence is deafening.
Hold on tight, you're gonna cry.
There's always a reason why.
I know that there's an art
To starting over again.
And I know that God will
Never waste my pain.
You can only
Try so hard, to walk alone.
This song will only last so long.
Life is just the art of living on.
   
This Memorial Website Was Created
In Loving Memory
of
My 18 Year Old Daughter
Amanda Carol Cooper
"Amy"
who was born on August 17, 1984 and
passed away on November 19, 2002 at the
tender age of 18.
Her nickname was also "Sunshine"
Amanda, was in an Automobile Accident
on her way home from School on October 09,
2002. She was in a Coma and on Life Support
for 5 weeks. One day, she opened her
beautiful eyes and and slowly began to speak.
We were given a Blessing from God
and were allowed to spend 1 more week with
her. Her last words to me were,
"I love you...."
Tomorrow is NOT Promised to us,
and I Praise God everyday for the last few
days He gave us with her and for allowing me
to say my last words to her.....
"Everything's going to be alright.
I promise. I love you, too." And it was....
For she was carried up "In the Arms of the
Angel" to Heaven....
And when Jesus Christ returns, we will all
walk together again with our Lord, Eternally
Praising and Worshiping Him.
Please take a minute to Light a Candle
and/or Write a Tribute In Amanda's Memory.
Please also visit her "Timeline" for a letter
she wrote when she was just 8 years old.
The tears still flow daily....like clockwork....
The ache is still in the deepest pit of
our stomachs....and we miss
her so very much....
I have visited many other Memorial Sites here
and nothing compares to the death of a child.
Whether they are 2 days old, 1 week old,
4 years old, 18 years old or simply go straight
to Heaven before they even enter this world.
The loss of your child at any age is a
tragedy that only God has the answers to.
So, please take it from me, and know, that one
day, you and your loved ones will be reunited
in Heaven as He has Promised.
I surely don't claim to be an expert on Grief
or how to Grieve, but it has been almost 4
years for me, and anyone who wants
to contact me, may do so at anytime for
whatever reason God lays on your heart.
I was asked once, "Do you want to remember
the 18 wonderful years you spent with her,
or the 1 day she died?" I do understand that
minutes don't compare to years, but I also
understand the horrible pain is still the same
no matter how much time God Blesses us with.
God Bless all of you and your Families as you
go through the "valleys". And I Pray, you will
soon see the "mountains" again....
"For God so loved the world that He gave His
one and only Son, that whoever believes in
Him shall not perish, but have eternal life...."
- John 3:16
 
"For to me, to live is Christ, and to die,
is to gain.
-Phillipians 1:21
"Just as a Parent needs to know that his or
her child is safe at School, we long to know
that our Loved Ones are safe in Death. We
long for the reassurance, that the Soul goes
immediately, to be with God.
But, dare we believe it?
Can we believe it?
According to the Bible, we can.
Scripture is surprisingly quiet about this phase
of our lives. When speaking about the period
between the Death of the body and the
resurrection of the body, the Bible doesn't
shout; it just whispers....
But, at the confluence of these whispers, a
firm voice is heard. This authoritative voice
assures us that, at Death, the Christian,
immediately enters the presence of God, and
enjoys conscious fellowship with the
Father, and with those who have gone
before...."
"Jesus always knocks before entering. He
doesn't have to. He owns your Heart. If anyone
has the right to barge in, Christ does. But He
doesn't....
That gentle tap you hear?
It's Christ!!"

" Car crashes are the number one killer of
our teens across the nation. Every year the
State of Georgia loses about 200 in teen
driving related crashes. The old adage,
"It Won't Happen To Me"
is so incorrect that it is proven wrong time
and time again."

Never Alone - Barlowgirl - My Song to Amanda
I waited for you today,
But you didn't show.
I needed you today,
So where did you go?
You told me to call.
Said you'd be there.
And though I haven't seen you,
Are you still there?
I cried out with no reply.
And I can't feel you by my side.
So I'll hold on to what I know.
You're here, and I'm never alone.
And though I cannot see you,
And I can't explain why.
Such a deep, deep reassurance
You've placed in my life.
We cannot seperate,
'Cause you're part of me.
And though you're invisible,
I'll trust the unseen.
I cried out to your reply.
And I can feel you by my side.
So I'll hold tight to what I know.
You're here, and I'm NEVER ALONE. |

What My Friends and Family Said In My Memory....
On Amanda's 21st Birthday, my Mom, Amanda's Grandmother, wrote:
"I teased you often about not getting your own house key until you were 21. Who was to know, but God, that on your 21st Birthday you would already have your own
set of keys that opens the door to a much bigger and better "House". Leave the
porch light on for me....
Love Forever,
Grandma"
With tearful eyes we watched you improve.
But suddenly you were taken away.
And though we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating.
Hands were put to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the BEST!!!
"Thirteen years under our belt; there will never be another like you."
- Cheria (Best Friend)
"I thought I heard you laugh today, so I turned to see you smile. You'll always be in
my heart as well as my mind."
- Daniel Dewey (Friend)
"My sister is in my sight and mind. She will forever be in my heart."
- Joey (Brother)
"We all love you."
- Lillie Smith (CEC Evening High School)
"Amanda has been my best friend for 11 years.
I'll never forget the enjoyable times we had together."
- Worm (Friend)
"We were closer than sisters, tighter than friends."
- Crystal (Friend)
"Goodbye to a special friend, hello to an adored angel."
Tina and Lisa (Friends)
"You touched a lot of hearts the last few weeks, such a special person. You have
done your job here and earned your wings and halo."
- Connie (ICU Nurse)
"You were beautiful inside and out. Eighteen years simply was not enough."
- Aunt Sam
"I know I shouldn't say, "what if" or "if only", but you know, I love you so much and I'm so sorry....
- Mommy
