Ms. Amanda was my beloved neighbor, friend and my "Georgia " Mother. We met the day I moved in just across the street from her. From that day on we we're inseparable unless we vacationed to visit family. We laughed together, cried together, went on excursions together and raised children together. Her Tayshawn, my Deshaun. She met my mother, brothers, sisters nieces and nephews. They all loved her as much as I did. Mother Amanda you touched my life and heart in an unforgettable way. Heaven recieved an amazing ANGEL. We love you, keep them laughing up there as you keep watch over us here and until we meet again my dear friend. To her family may God keep and comfort you during this difficult time. Thank you for sharing your BEAUTIFUL mother and LOVED one with us.
