My dearest Amanda, Peace be upon you. I regret terribly that I have not received word about you for some years until today, which of course is the most difficult kind of news. I knew Amanda through her involvement in Original Kids. She was always an inspiration to me. Her sincere and loving encouragement was unsurpassed, and I know that I will never forget what an inspiriation she was to me. I remember on the last day of working with her at camp, she wrote me a card that was entirely unexpected. As someone who rarely hangs onto cards for long, I remember continuing to "re-find" that card in my room and refuse to throw it away for over a year. Thank you, Amanda. I will never forget how you touched my life.
