I think of Amanda many times. She was so kind pretty loving. You must have been so proud of her. For the short time I knew her she made a big impact on my life. Will miss her always. Thinking of your family. Love Marta

I was blessed to have met Amanda and Darlene while in radiation in Sudbury. Her smile, courage and desire to live was an inspiration to each and every one of us. We love you Amanda may you be our Angel from up above xx.

Amanda and I got to know each other very well over the past couple of years. She was so sweet and extremely welcoming when I joined the Ross Pope team, and our work relationship quickly blossomed into a truly great friendship. We spent a lot of time working together, and we spent even more time talking together. She was our little social butterfly of the office, migrating from office to office to visit everyone, always genuinely interested in what was going on in her fellow co-workers’ lives. We spent a lot of time in each other’s offices discussing upcoming audits and accounting issues, but mainly talking about what we did on the weekend, telling funny stories, picking out clothes for her dogs Maggie & Mya, and she was always showing me all the wedding planning stuff she’d been working on. When we would hear someone walking down the hall, our conversations would quickly turn to “debits, credits, and deferred revenue.” When our little “work chats” started to get a little too long, we would head back to our respective offices (which were side by side), and continue our conversations by telephone or via email. One of my favourite memories of Amanda was about a year ago, around Christmas time. Her and I had decided that we were going to find a crafty, economical way to give gifts to our friends and family. We decided that we were going to make “cookies in a jar” – you know, with all the dry ingredients lining a nicely decorated jar, and the recipient just has to add the wet ingredients and bake. So Amanda went out and purchased all the jars (we’d made around 2 dozen or so), and we gathered all the ingredients for the most fabulous chocolate chip cookies ever. We planned to meet at her house one evening. When I showed up, she had dinner already cooked for me. She was always so thoughtful like that. We set everything out on the table, and started our cookie jar experience. Turns out the jars were too small for all of the ingredients, so we could only fit one third of the chocolate chips required. So when you baked them, you only got one chocolate chip per cookie. We’d done about 4 jars when we realized, wow, we do not have enough flour. So Amanda runs out to her in-laws and grabs another bag of flour. On about jar 6, we realized we didn’t have enough sugar. So out we go to buy a ton more sugar. On jar 14, we run out of flour again. So out we go, making a quick pit-stop at Federal Variety to grab a couple bags of penny candies (her favourite!). You get the picture. I think we had to go out and buy more ingredients at least 5 times throughout the evening. By late into the night, we were done filling the jars. We took one look at each other, and busted out laughing. We had flour in our hair, on our clothes, on our faces… there was flour on the dogs, on the floor, stuck in the cracks of the table. It was EVERYWHERE! We could not stop laughing. We laughed and laughed, tried to clean it up and made it worse, and then laughed some more. 25kg of flour, 11 bags of sugar, and a truckload of chocolate chips later, it would have been cheaper to buy gifts. But not nearly as fun. I am going to miss you, friend. Amanda G, things will never be the same without you here. It was a privilege to get to know you, and an honour to call you my friend. As one of our friends has said, I’m sure you’ve picked out your best bikini and are now finally able to enjoy those beautiful Florida sunshine rays. xoxo

God saw she was getting tired, a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around her and whispered “come to me.” With tearful eyes you watched her and saw her pass away. Although you loved her dearly, you couldn’t make her stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands laid to rest. God broke your heart to prove to you ..he only takes the BEST. Thinking of you today and always Paulette

Dear Darlene & Family: My deepest sympathy for your loss of Amanda. My thoughts & prayers are with you all during this difficult time Brenda

Darlene, Norman, Louise, Norm Jr., Tyler ,and Clint, There are so few words to say at a time like this. They say it takes time to heal, but when you lose someone you love so much, and is so young, I don’t think a parent ever gets over it. I pray for you all that things will get a little easier, and just knowing she is not in pain anymore should be a small condolence on your part. At least I hope so!!! We pray for your family that this will get easier for all of you. Go on with your life as best you can, because I know your beautiful girl would have wanted that for you all. Just think that she is now in the loving arms of her grandparents, memere, and the rest of the family in heaven, waiting for the family to be together again. Until you meet again.!!!! “Rest in Peace”” beautiful Amanda!! You will live on in the hearts of the many who knew you and loved you. We will pray for you and your family. Love Your cousins Linda, Veronica, and Christie (& families)

Please accept our condolences to all of you, both families and all of Amanda and Clint’s friends. I’ve taught so many of you over the years and it’s very hard to see all of you in so much pain. I think of all of you often and was fortunate enough to get to have Amanda and Clint as neighbours as well as students. Be there for each other. She was a sweetheart and a very courageous young woman.

Clint, we are so sadden to hear about the passing of your wife.Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.May God Bless you and your family. Cynthia & Joe

Dear Darlene, Norm & Family….Our sincerest thoughts & prayers are will you at this sad time…with Amanda’s radiant smile I’m sure she is lighting up the heavens, she will surely be missed to all who knew her. May God be your comfort and guide always.

There are no words that will heal our pain but we pray it will be easier as time goes by. Amanda was the daughter we never had. We can still Amanda and Ryan (Darlene’s twins) playing together as children. We have to go on and live our lives to the fullest; that is what Amanda would want. We will miss Amanda forever and she will always be in our thoughts and prayers
