Amanda Quattrochi
Forever 22
It has been 6 long years since we laid my beautiful daughter, Amanda, to rest. I try to live with the memories and remember the wonderful moments we shared.
Amanda was born in Melrose Park in 1991. She was a clam baby, she hardly ever cried and slept through the night the third day she was home. She had silvery hair and the biggest eyes I’ve ever seen. When she did cry, it was a little squeek like a mouse.
As she grew, she was kind hearted, athletically gifted, bright, strong willed, and feisty. She would rescue animals and one time she untangled a baby bird caught in fishing line. She brought home lost dogs and wanted to become a veterinarian when she grew up. At age 11, she could pitch a softball, underhand windmill @ 65 MPH! She was so talented, the boys used to call for her to be on their team! She had a strong sense for what was right and debated with her C.C.D. teacher that air IS alive because it helps us to live. I thought she’d become a lawyer. She always held true to what she believed.
We miss and love her bear hugs and her voice as she came running into my arms (even as an adult) ” mama, I love you”. Our lives will never be the same without her. She made a choice to do drugs and it costed her her life. She wasn’t alone in this decision, the dealer still gets to live their life and should have a consequence.

The police better find him before I do. Because if I find this guy, I guarantee the police we’ll never find him. This is not over. Word does get out and things just happen. I have spent the last 6 years of my life in pain while the murderer gets away. Everything was taken away from me and the rest of my family also causing my father to die with a broken heart because of this. A long life was taken away from my daughter. So I hope the police did not just give up on this case. I have not. Either way I’m hoping for justice. And just remember mr. Dope dealer I don’t call police
Im Very Angry and it’s not just going to go away. So if anybody has a problem with my solution to the problem, explain to my grandson that I am raising what happened to his mother. Maybe this should motivate the law to take extra measures end finding this creep and solving this case
