I know of no one from the school that Amanda attended nor do I know anyone from her family. Reading of this tragedy has touched me and I am also grieving with you. I am sure there was a great amount of love between siblings, you the parents and your daughter. I pray that you keep all the precious memories of happier times alive. God Bless all of you.
