My sincere condolences to Amanda's entire family particularly, Chuck, Vicky, Elaine & Roy. It saddens me that all of Mrs. Alma's & Fred's children are now gone. Amanda responded to the memorials I published about Daddy & my entry to Charles guestbook. We talked of old times. My sister, Edwina was born the same year as Amanda. Sadly she is gone too. To times long gone; my sympathies: (Little) Dan Gunn 111

Amanda was the epitome of grace as she fought so hard with arthritis for most of her life, but did so with a smile on her face and a joy of living. I can just imagine her now dancing in a field of heavenly flowers with no pain, no wheelchair, and no limitations! She was and is a beautiful true southern lady who will be missed.

I was shocked when I saw that Amanda had died, and I cried all the way to church, but I just kept telling myself that Amanda deserves heaven, where there is no sickness, no pain, and no more separation. I was blessed to call her cousin. My love and prayers to you Neil and Lisa and your family.
