Amanda Lynn Mabon


Amanda Mabon lost her life here on Earth August 30, 2007. She is a 17 year old blond beauty who had a lot of life still in her. Mandy would have been a senior this year at Oakfield -Alabama High School. I did not know Mandy personally but I do know her parents. They are good people with genuine hearts who do not deserve this. Mandy has a big sister and a little brother. She also has a huge extended family who I am sure will miss her deeply. From what I have learned about Mandy, she has an incredibly bright smile and a friendly personality that made anyone who came in contact with her want to be her friend. I wish I had known her personally. She is someone who loved children and was very active in programs involving children. At Mandy's wake I have never seen so many people of all ages wait inside and outside for up to 3 hours just to pay respects. It is an absolute tribute to the kind of girl she is. Her parents obviously did something right. My wish for Mandy's family, personal and extended, is that they find peace in their hearts and a way to celebrate the life that was taken way too soon.

Teenagers shouldnt be taken away from their parents or friends or family. its not fair. and i want to know why he took her! its not fair and i cant believe that it happened. i grew up with Mandy. I knew her personally and i loved being around her. She made you laugh when you didnt want to smile. god shouldnt have taken her away, she was too important to the world, he could have taken me instead. =[
