Amanda, I cannot believe it has been 7 years since you left this world. I still think of you often, and still miss you so much. I have so many memories, though, and I am thankful for that. You were my sister-in-law...but more importantly, one of my best friends. I love you, always.

I went to high school with Amanda. I was surprised and shocked to hear of her passing. Rest in peace, Amanda.

I didn't know Amanda long enough! We began talking on the phone together about 20 years ago and sent each other long letters about life. She was-is-my half-sister and she made certain to bring family together. I was so fortunate to finally meet her in person and spend a short weekend with her two weeks before she died. Mandy, you left a huge impact on me. I'll remember you always and I cherish the time we had together. Thank you, Darlin'.

Amanda and I started to work for Jackson Police Department at the same time. We spent quite a bit of time together over that first year. After she left JPD I would occassionally run in to her and we stayed in touch that way. Amanda was a truly nice person and I'm sure will be missed dearly by her children.
