I heard you really struggled the last few years of your life. Not knowing you were sick and then having a baby. The proud lady you were you did it all on your own took care of a child and raised her in love and strength while you were leaving this world. I know that you will be in peace now my dear friend.

I know Amanda no more than got her new heart and she went back to work at Wendy's. She struggled with insurance problems and no help from anyone, she did it all on her own. She worked at Wendy's and moonlighted some where else to make sure her baby had the best of everything. She was a single mother and and an angel in disguise. I didn't realize her guest book was still up thank you.

I wish I had known her. She sounds wonderful. It is devastating to lose a child. She still had so many years ahead of her that were cut short! However, you will be reunited one day. It's true. Just trust in Him to get you through this most difficult time. I am sorry for your loss. God bless you & your family.

Amanda was an amazing mother, doing it all by herself and being so ill. I have to say she is a credit to the female race, she was so strong and independent. I know she struggled financially and emotionally but she did her best with no help from anyone. I hope her daughter is half as strong as Amanda was. I could have never been a single mom and provided so much love and comfort on my own. I love you girl.

Amanda, my beautiful daughter-in-law. You were loved more than you ever knew. While my heart is deeply saddened, I know that you fought the good fight. Your memory will live on forever in my heart, and in the spirit of the beautiful granddaughter you gave us.

I will always remember the good times and the fun we had over the years.

I know that you are in heaven and totally well now. While we don't always understand God's ways - we do understand that He is love, and has His reasons for all things.

I believe you are now walking streets of gold in heaven, and free from your pain and suffering.

Rest in peace - until we meet again

Kathy and Brian, When glancing through The Dispatch today I noticed the name "Curry" and then Amanda's picture. I am so sorry to hear of her passing, and I am sorry as well to have lost track of our friendship and didn't know of Amanda's heart transplant. You, Amanda, and your family are in my prayers.
