"Amanda, we were like sisters, friends and each other's shoulder to lean on. I'm so lost in the midst of this and I don't have you to turn to. I'll look out for Addy I promise and I'll do whatever to keep your memory alive and honor you. I'm going to truly miss you. Watch over us down here. Until we meet again my friend......so long."
