"We are saddened to hear of the death of Amanda, and yet are glad that she is now with her Lord. We have known her for nearly fifty years, and enjoyed so many visits with her and her sisters. During this time she was always an example to us of Christian humility and caring, qualities that will always remain in our memory. --Dennis & Melinda Bricker, Iowa City"
