Dear sweet Amanda, I only knew you because my father was also a resident at the Lutheran Home but you made a lasting impression. You were always so kind to my dad, even knowing that he couldn't talk, you would greet him and give him one of your smiles every time you saw him. I am sorry I lost touch since dad passed away, but know that you made a difference to dad and our family. I know you are resting in peace. My condolences to your family.
