This is such a horrible loss for the Colletti family. May they find support with one another. RIP
Amanda truly valued her family, friends and life. Her drive and support allowed me to push thru an unimaginable loss. Her light gave me hope and drive. I so forever embrace life. Thank you out beautiful Angel. I know you will continue to watch over all of your love ones. Now on a higher level. Your so loved.

It’s a hard pill to swollen. To lose a beautiful soul too early on in this life. With so much love left to give. I’ll miss her happiness most. The smiles. The enthusiasm! Her asking about my daughters and just always encouraging positivity. Amanda you were an AMAZING SOUL. I’ll never forget that. I’ll never forget you.

Where do I begin....
I was blessed to have Amanda " My crazy Italian " in my life for more than 11 years. We worked together EVERYDAY for 10 years and grew a friendship outside of our work place. When you work with someone closely, you build this bond with them. You grow to Trust and have love for that person like a sister. We created so many memories....and growing into the woman we are today. Amanda is the most selfless person I know. Always eager to help ANYONE in need ...even if they don't ask. She's a family woman. Her mom, daughter's, sister and nephews were her number one priority. Their well being and happiness was everything to her. Being Italian we are raised to put family first ....she definitely did just that. Amanda is an AMAZING mom....raising her daughter with morals and ethics was so important to her. Her daughter is so Amazing and will become a beautiful young woman. Amanda even raised her "second daughter " whom she raised for a good 10+ years...she also is a bright and beautiful young woman. Amanda was active in the community and absolutely LOVED Zumba... staying active was so important to her. I would be exhausted from working and she would somehow convince me to come "shake my booty" with Miss Queena. Amanda had so much energy. I honestly don't know how she did it for so long...being a mom, working, taking care of people, working out and still wake up the next morning energized and ready to seize the day!
Again....that's Amanda. Everyone loved that precious lady. She has this energy that was so contagious.
So you see ....
When you meet someone as Beautiful as Amanda... you cherish the memories and love that woman gave... it doesn't matter if you didn't talk to her or see her in years... she was forgiving. Amanda never held a grudge.
She loved God, Family, Friends, Co workers and Animals...
I could go on and on....
I'm definitely going to miss my
Amanda Amend ( Colletti )
I love you my friend.....❤️
