Amanda will be remembered for many things, most notably her love for her children. Amanda always had such a deep love for her children it was almost tangible. She spoke of them fondly as often as possible to her friends and family and celebrated every one of their accomplishments. When she spoke of them she had a smile that would light up the room.
She also had a deep appreciation for Michael Jackson as an artist and performer and she was able to moonwalk just like him. She used to watch his videos as a young woman and practiced those dance moves until she was able to do them as well. From this, Amanda grew to love dancing and music.
Amanda was a loving and kind-hearted sister and friend. Her adventurous spirit was childlike in nature. She loved to quote movies and play trivia. She enjoyed life and all those in it that made it special, and in turn our lives are more special because she was in it.
