Children are not supposed to die before their parents especially one who fought so hard to stay alive. Mandy could be very stubborn and determined. Living for 21 months with pancreatic cancer is quite an accomplishment and she fought every step of the way until she knew that her fight was over and then she was ready to graduate to heaven.

My memories of Mandy always come with a smile I can see on her face. She was a happy person, a kind person, a friend to everyone. She enjoyed doing arts and crafts and many projects around their home are a testament to her skill. Her most important activities were doing things with her amazing husband, Jason, and each of her truly wonderful children, Olivia, Bentley and Fallon.

Mandy’s passing has left a hole in my heart that will be with me for the rest of my life. Until I see you again,

love – Dad
