Amanda's Legacy Foundation

Amanda's Legacy Foundation Amanda Raquel Uribe was born on December 14, 1996 in Twenty-nine Palms California. She is the second child of three born to Rene and Nellie Uribe. Marine Corps.

Amanda’s Legacy Foundation seeks to turn tragedy into love through three pillars: Perpetual random acts of kindness, support of the arts and animal cruelty prevention. ~ She Is Love ~ Her siblings include older sister Rebekkah and younger brother Nicholas. Amanda’s unique personality and subtle humor were the hallmarks of her beautiful soul. Her mantra “She Is Love” absolutely sums up the beauty o

f her existence on this earth. As the daughter of a career U.S. Marine, she embraced life as a military brat for most of her life for better or worse. She travelled as part of that military family from coast to coast eventually settling in the Clear Lake area of southeast Texas in 2006 as her father neared retirement from the U.S. She attended Clear Creek ISD and ultimately graduated from Clear Brook High School in 2015. Her years growing up in Southern California, Georgia and Texas shaped the individual and human being Amanda became and that so many family members and friends loved. Her tolerance for all of God’s creatures was at the center of her morale compass. She never wavered from those ideals and loved everyone with all their beautiful imperfections. Amanda struggled through her late teenage years with issues that continue to face a lot of our youth these days. Everything from body image to su***de to constant social pressure to conform to one thing or another. She found her voice and finally came out to her family in what was probably one of the most difficult periods in her life. But like all storms, the rain and dark clouds gave way to sunlight and rainbows. Prior to her passing she had grown comfortable with the woman she had become and found the love of her life, Abigail. She participated in Pride parades and was a staunch supporter of gay rights, which let’s face it are human rights. She was at a pivotal and beautiful point in her life just prior to her passing. It seemed as though things were finally looking up. On November 12, 2019 Amanda was involved in a vehicle accident only a few hundred yards from her home as she drove to her first college class that morning. At 7:57 am that day our family was changed forever. We lost our baby girl and nothing in this world would ever be the same. We miss Amanda tremendously and we have struggled to make each day one without tears and heartache but as any parent who has lost a child would tell you, there is no such thing. So this brings us to why we established Amanda's Legacy Foundation and the answer is quite simple. We wanted a mechanism in place to project the love that our daughter displayed each and every day of her existence on this earth. Our random acts of kindness campaign will entail both big and small efforts to improve the lives of human beings struggling mentally, emotionally and financially. We want to begin a small ripple of kindness that one day will reach a tidal wave of love. Our support for animal rights groups goes to the core of one of Amanda's greatest loves, caring for the neglected, abused and abandoned creatures all too often forgotten. Animals' unconditional love is what we as humans aspire each and every day to capture and often fall short of accomplishing. Amanda's artistry is displayed in our foundation's logo through her hand drawn sketch and signature. Art was an outlet Amanda often utilized to express her emotions. Sometimes is was happiness and at times it was sadness. In either case the emotions were raw and true. It is for this reason that our foundation will pledge it's support for art programs at her alma maters through scholarships and we hope to someday expand these efforts to include preservation and awareness.

One of the most powerful scenes that allows us to peek into the unseen world and immediate aftermath of grieving parents. A glimpse into the scenes that are repeated often in homes all around the world. While poignant, it screams of pain and a lifetime of quiet suffering and the longing to be reunited with that child. Art that imitated reality. We miss you Amanda. ❤️🐼

TO HONOR YOU
By Connie E. Kiefer Byrd

To honor you, I get up every day and take a breath and start another day without you in it.

To honor you, I laugh and love with those who knew your smile and the way your eyes twinkled with mischief and secret knowledge.

To honor you, I take the time to appreciate everyone I love; I know there is no guarantee of days or hours spent in their presence.

To honor you, I listen to music you would have liked, and sing at the top of my lungs, with the windows rolled down.

To honor you, I take chances, say what I feel, hold nothing back; risk making a fool of myself, dance every dance.

You were my light, my heart, my gift of love, from the very highest source.

So every day, I vow to make a difference, share a smile, live, laugh and love.

Now I live for us both, so all I do, I do to honor you.

~SHE IS LOVE ~

This world places a tremendous amount of undue pressure on young girls. Self image is something most women and yes some men constantly stress about because of the demands of a culture that rewards perceived beauty. Our baby girl suffered from those image issues and like a lot of teenagers she sometimes felt the world was better off without her. No child should ever feel that way about themselves and their self worth on this planet. So make those young tiny and impressionable human beings feel your love and appreciation for their mere existence in your life. It will and has made their will and character stronger by you doing so. This will give them the tools to know that they are enough no matter what anyone tells them.

BEREAVED MOTHER

Before you, I measured time
in birthdays,
holidays,
ordinary Tuesdays.

Now I measure it
in before and after.

Before you,
I believed the world
made promises it would keep.
After you,
I learned that love can exist
alongside unbearable heartbreak.

I am not the same woman
who walked into that funeral home.
She left pieces of herself
in quiet rooms,
in empty arms,
in dreams that never came true

The grief changed me.

It softened parts of me,
and hardened others.
It taught me how fragile life is,
how precious a single breath can be,
how deeply a heart can break
and still continue beating.

People see me smile now
and think I am healing.
They do not see
that I carry you everywhere.

You are in every sunset
I stop to admire.
In every baby I notice.
In every wish I make.
In every future
I once imagined for us.

I used to be afraid
of becoming someone different.

But loving you changed me,
and losing you changed me again.

Now I speak your name
with both tears and pride.
I carry a love
with nowhere to go
except into the woman I have become.

And though I would give anything
for one more moment,
one more hug,
one more chance to watch you grow,

I will spend the rest of my life
being your mother.

Not the mother I planned to be,
but your mother still.

Because death ended your life,
but it did not end our bond.

You are my daughter.
You are my greatest love.
And every version of me
that exists from this day forward
will carry your light
through the darkness.
Amanda Raquel Uribe forever ❤️🐼

The true test of the authenticity of your faith is the depth of your commitment to the most marginalized members of the human family. Some people will never understand what it means to just simply be kind. Together with love they are the easiest and most gratifying gifts we can give one another as human beings.

Grief births a loneliness that can only be eased by the one lost……

Birthdays are a special time to celebrate a persons introduction into this earth and the miracle of life. We often take those occasions for granted until the person we are celebrating is no longer with us. The video is a great example on how bereaved parents continue to celebrate the gift they were blessed with on that day. We celebrate our Amanda every single year on her birthday because we know she is always present and watching over us. SHE IS LOVE ❤️🐼
