  4. So very sad to see this beautiful ray of sunshine leave our earthly presence. Amanda always radiated happiness and her smile was infectious to all those with whom she came into contact. She fought a valiant battle her entire life but never once did we ever hear her complain. She always would share her many different procedures she underwent and was very knowledgeable of each and every surgery. She had a beautiful inner spirit that will continue to burn bright in the hearts of all of us that were privileged to get to know her personally. Godspeed Amanda. May our Lord and Savior wrap His loving arms around you and restore you to good health as you reunite with family members gone before. God bless you sweet angel.

  18. I am so very sorry for your loss of Amanda. I can\’t even imagine how heartbreaking and difficult this is for the Ross family. May the love of those close to you and the Ross family, and your memories of Amanda, help you through this difficult time of sorrow. May Jehovah (Psalms 83:18) God\’s promise, because he does not lie (Titus 1:2) of the resurrection give you hope of being reunited with your dear Amanda and other loved ones. (Acts 24:15, John 5:28, 29). Soon death will be eliminated forever (Revelation 21:3,4). Please find comfort, as you meditate on these loving promises.
