I am the best friend of Amanda Mann for the past 20 years. Her family is like my family, and vice versa. I can't imagine loosing a close family memeber, let alone a PARENT. Mark Mann was a loving father and grandfather and was always there when ANYONE needed him. He was someone you can count on and had a way to make you laugh. He always had good stories to share and had a passion for the 49ers, NASCAR and being a grandpa. A good grandpa at that! He loved spoiling his only grandson, Ambrose. He was very handy and would help anyone fix anything or help around the house! He loved being around his family. Recently he had been hospitalized battling coronary artery disease, and diabetes. He was released to wound care and was making positive progress awaiting open heart surgery. After being hospitalized, he continued to struggle but still made the best of everyday even with loosing his mother, Nancy Mann, this past June. He had promised his only child, Amanda, that they had a date set to walk her down the aisle at her wedding in September 2017. His death was so sudden and unexpected and has left a heavy heart on his only child Amanda. I am making this campaign to help my best friend with expenses since she already has so much on her plate. This has been a very rough year for her on loosing her Grandma 06/28/2016, her newborn nephew Enzo Schmidlin Jr. 07/10/2016, and now her father Mark Mann 10/29/2016. No daughter wants to ever imagine this day, and I feel it is my place as her best friend to do what I can to help. Any amount would be greatly appreciated! On her behalf and mine, I would love to thank in advance everyone for their contributions.
