I am heartbroken to hear of Amanda's passing! I worked with Amanda at Marianos and we would always spend time talking everyday. She always talked about her son and daughter and was so very proud of her children, they were the most important part of her life. Amanda was the most genuine, caring, wonderful person I have ever met.
