I did not know your daughter but my deepest & sincerest condolences to the entire family. I pray that the wonderful & beautiful memories of your beautiful daughter will give your hearts comfort. Thank you for your courage and honesty and I pray someone out there will read it and get help. Addiction is a horrible thing and a hard habit to get off your back. My prayers will be with you all as you go thru this hard and sad time. Remember her for the wonderful free, loving person she was. May God above fill your hearts with peace.

I didn't know Amanda or her family, but you have my sympathy in your loss and for being so open and honest about it. My daughter is recovering but has also lost so many friends and fights this disease every day. May you remember your daughter with the good memories and times you had together.

Cousins are special people. Even though I did not know Amanda very well due to the age difference (I am the oldest of the group) and the fact that I lived in another state, I still always was thinking about her and praying for her. A parent should never have to bury a child, but maybe just one person will be saved by the honesty of Amanda's parents about the cause of her death. Anne remember the good times. She will always be with all of you. Love and prayers, Cheryl
