This is the note, word for word, that Mandy left for me. I hope that somebody will read it and it will comfort them.
Jaley,
I love you girl. More than you know. You were always the greatest friend. You have always been there. I know that you will be sad. But, try to not be to sad. I do not like to see you cry. I am sorry that I left you. I know I promised I wouldn't. Shit, we all break promises. I just had to do it. I could not handle it anymore. It was either this or kill somebody else. I hope you aren't to mad at me. Do not blame yourself for this. Even though I know you probably will. It was not your fault. You did everything that you could. You were always there for me. Thank you for that. Look out for my momma. I know my daddy won't. That bastard. But, I love him, too. Make sure they know it is not their fault and that I love them. I know that I said bad things to them. I didn't mean it. You know that. So should they. I am sorry that I won't be the maid-of-honor at your wedding. Tell Joe I am sorry about that. I will be watching down from Heaven. Remember that song. Holes in the Floor of Heaven! That's me. That's how it's gonna be. I love you girlie. Never forget me. You were my angel for so long. Now, I'll be your angel. Girls Forever and a Day! Love ya, Mandi
