The surviving members, together with a host of other relatives and friends will long remember this mother, companion, sister and friend.
Many things could be said of Amanda, compassionate, forgiving, living for others, as well as self were the inherent principles of her character and innermost life. No greater tribute can be paid than this "When truly spoken, though not exempt from trials and conflicts of life, Amanda always found time to extend a helping hand or a smile of encouragement to anyone whom she knew to be in need. She counted it a privilege to sacrifice for her children whom she loved with devotion akin to worship."
Through all the trying years of infancy and adolescence her life was spent and lived for them and now a Divine providence has seen fit to rob them of Earth's greatest treasure, a Mother, and in our great sorrow, we who are left behind can only bow our heads and say, "Thy will be done."
On May 19th, this happy home was suddenly awaken to the frailties of life and to the reality that Life is uncertain, but death is sure, for Amanda, this mother, was stricken low. Over the home a of pall of death was hanging, in face of which medical skill, loving hands and fervent prayers could not avail. She bore her suffering with great courage and fortitude until the end and then left with us the blessed assurance that she had called on God in her great extremity and that he had heard her voice and all was well with her soul.
At 9:05 p.m. June 12th, she quietly and peacefully sell asleep and her earthy suffering was over. A neighbor's footsteps will be heard no more. A mother's voice is stilled, a companion will seek solace in happy memories and God's great plan marches on.
