Amanda Himes

I can´t believe it´s been 10 years. We miss you Amanda and think of you often.

I still think of Amanda often and miss her. I was a student of hers at York College and went on to graduate school. My thesis is dedicated to her. She greatly impacted my life both mathematically and spiritually.

I am 15 years old and Amanda Himes was my math teacher when i was in eighth grade. Before her i knew nothing about math. She was not just a teacher to me she was a friend. I know that she is in heaven now and that is comforting to me and i hope that fact is comforting for her family as well. I also know she is saved because she said she believed Jesus died on the cross was buried and raised again for her sins.These are two verses that we all are commanded to HEED to according to God not ME....

If words were only so simple that we could express how we feel and the empathy we have for the family. Amanda, time has separated us over the years but the memories are so much more precious. What a light you have been to others and what passion you expressed through your work and to your children. You are not defined by tragedy but highlighted by your kindness and excellence in all you did. The greatest thing out of this we have a promise that we will see you again. Russ, Ann, Rusty, Nathan,...

Dear Russ and Ann, We just heard about this news last Friday from the Gideon Prayer and Praise List. It was a shock to say the least to read it. We can't begin to imagine how you felt. That's a lovely photo of Amanda. May you find comfort in knowing she is in the presence of the Lord. A Gideon card is on its way to your home. All our love and prayers.

I cant believe that this whole situation occurred. I am praying that you had a hand from God as you entered heaven. I didnt know you but I knew your sister-in-law Lisa, My family has been praying for your children, May God watch over them and give them the best life they can, God Bless all your Family & Friends...missy (smith) cunningham.

So many memories...Mr and Mrs Blew,Rusty and Nathan there is no way to remember my childhood without you guys n Amanda. From "Spot the dog" to me and Rusty daring our little sisters to do stuff on the farm I have plenty to remember and smile about! Kate we will meet again. Till then rest in Gods arms.

Our prayers are with the family. May God be with you during this time of sorrow!

Russ and Ann, I remember Amanda most from the days of the bus ministry you had at Red Lion Bible Church with my dad, Ray Rhone. I first remember Amanda being in the nursery with my younger sister, Beth, and watching her growing up from toddler to preschooler. My deepest condolences to you and to Rusty and Nathan. It's a tremendous comfort knowing that we will see her in heaven.
