So many years ago, when you took me out on that little rowboat and taught me how to fish, our friendship began. Funny how Brian and Heather ended up married! I love how it keeps us in touch. Although we only see each other a couple of times a year, I've felt your joys, laughed at your jokes and enjoyed sharing stories as we watched our families grow. Amanda was a beautiful angel love, I am so sorry for your loss, I am so sorry for your pain. I Pray that the Lord wraps his loving arms around you, I Pray that He helps carry you through this most difficult time, I Pray for you and your family now and always.

Love,
