On Wednesday February 24th 2016 at the New England Rehab Center in Portland, Amanda Elizabeth Musso left this world suddenly to be with Jesus in Heaven. Amanda was born in Meriden Ct to Mary Musso. She resided in Meriden and Wallingford Ct until her teen years when she moved to the new Haven area. Amanda attended schools in Meriden, Wallingford and East Haven CT. In 2013 Amanda moved to Maine settling in West Gardiner. She made numerous friends and continued to pursue her education. Amanda known to her friends as Bean suffered through the years with health and emotional issues. However through it all her smile shined and her infectious laughter could brighten many a day. Her heart grew in her quest to support sick children and their families, to spend time with the elderly, and give unconditional love to all animals especially her beloved pets. Amanda loved to draw, paint, and build complex leggos. She had such patience. She loved to make homemade gifts. Besides her mom, Amanda is survived by her father Bruce Picard of Middletown Ct, her grandparents Jane and Joe Picard, Uncle Brian and Aunt Barbara, her godparents Robert and Pam Johnson, god sisters Samantha and Danielle of Wallingford, CT. She leaves a dear friend and second mother Tammy Davidson and a sister Illana. At home she leaves her roommate Amber Jennings and numerous friends including her special friend Tasha May Bayley. Last but not least her best friend in the world her dog Jake. She gave him the life of a Prince. He will miss her dearly I want to thank all of you who gave so generously to the Go Fundme Page started by my dear friends Heidi Campbell and Susan Perry. I am so overwhelmed by the kindness shown by so many. I will never forget to pay forward the generosity that will help me to send Amanda off in the special way she deserves Memorial services will be held in Maine and Connecticut in the near future. I will post on face book or email friends and family.
