To the Gillum & Dean families I am sorry on your loss. Amanda had such a good nature personality about her and never met a stranger. God' grace and mercy will get you all through this. We wish we could have been at the services but with only learning of the death of Amanda on Thursday night it was impossible. Remember we are only a phone call away.
