Bob and Becky, Sorry to hear about Amanda. Our prayers are with you and your family. God is our Rock and Salvation!

Amanda was such a loving, selfless, and Godly woman; she showed this in countless ways, but it was obvious to me from the moment I moved here as she went out of her way to make me feel welcome. That has always been such a strong memory for me and I greatly appreciated her investing her time in that way. That was just the first of many wonderful memories I have of her and I have always been impressed by her and respected her greatly for who she was and what she did. I'm so sorry for everyone she has left behind. Her family has been on my mind and prayers constantly and I have confidence that God and His promises will be a steady rock for everyone as we grieve.

Dear Bob and Becky. No words are adequate enough to express how sorry I am to hear the news. I pray God will continue to give you and the rest of the family, the strength you need during this time of loss. My love and prayers are with you.

Bob, Becky, Boys, My heart sunk when I got the news today. There are no words to express how sorry I am. Amanda was a unique and beautiful person from the beginning. I will forever treasure all the hours we spent building forts in the lilac bushes, climbing trees, and swinging from the monkey bars. My thoughts are with you all.

I was very saddened to hear about Amanda's death. She was a student in a class I teach at ISU in the special education sequence. She was a bright, vibrant young woman who had so much potential! She was a joy to teach! My thoughts and prayers are with Ben and her family.

Your brother & sister in Christ

I had the pleasure of having Amanda student teach with me the spring of 2012 where we soon became friends. I enjoyed working with her immensely. Her beautiful spirit and joyful heart lit up every room she walked into. She had a special gift for working with children. I also had the please of meeting Ben and seeing the love they had for each other.

Amanda loved God and loved serving Him. May she now find comfort in his arms. Let us continue to serve others in Amanda's name.

I am so sorry to hear of Amanda's passing. She was one of my very special 1st graders at Roosevelt. I remember her stopping by my house in the summer on her way to swimming lessons to say hi. Needless to say, she was a bright spot in my day! She will be lovingly remembered. May God bless Amanda and her family today and always.

Amanda was one of the most generous and kind person I've ever met. She was always smiling even when life was hard. She loved God deeply and followed Him with all her heart. I'm praying for everyone she has let behind. May God bring comfort and peace to her husband, her family and people that loved her dearly.

Ben - We are so sorry to hear about Amanda's passing. Please know we are holding you up in prayer. May God grant you His supernatural peace as you walk through this difficult time.

Becky and family, My heartfelt sympathy to all of you as you say good-bye to your daughter. May God be with you every moment as you gain strength from Him. (I sat beside you at Jamie's bridal shower and so enjoyed talking to you!)
