Amanda and I were best friends in junior and highschool and were inseparable during those years. We even had sleepovers on school nights (thanks Candi & Don!). She was such an integral part of my teenage years and I will forever cherish our good times together. I am sending the family all of my love and prayers. I will always hold sweet memories of this special lady.
