Amanda died of cancer (neroblastoma), she was 4 years old. Anyone that knew her loved
her. She lived a short time, but affected so many. My daughter was wrote
about in 2 different newspapers. The first was in Dover, Main. Her
Aunt Pat had giving her two stuffed bunnies for Easter and when she went into
Cook's Hospital in June for a bone marrow transplant the bunnies had to be
washed. The male bunny got torn up, and she was devastated because to her
the bunny had died. The newspaper printed the story because the bunnies
were seasonal. 
Well a Leggett employee had bought a set for her daughter and she
gave my daughter the male from her set. The next time was a
newspaper from Texas (the Fort Worth Star Telegram) wrote because me and my
family decorated for Christmas in November because we knew she would not make it
to see her favorite holiday. We had her party November 11,1993 and she died
December 11,1993.
I just want to tell her story so everyone will know her and love her as much as
I do. She will always
be a reminder that death knows no age. My daughter will always live in my
memories, even death could not take her because she lives on in my heart.
To all who read this do not morn for me, just take with you her name Amanda and
if you have kids hug and kiss them and remember life is a gift. My
daughter is a gift to me that when I remember her, I remember that I was so
lucky even though I only got 4 years. But they were the best 4 years of my
life.
Love Mom
