For Amanda who died August 13, 2005.

To Amanda--In Memory
On Saturday August 13, 2005 Amanda, a friend,
died from injuries as a result of a car crash.
So young, in her twenties, she touched many
hearts throughout the world.
Amanda's many friends may have never met her
in person, but through her stories, those she
interviewed, emails, the phone, and her Blog,
she touched our hearts.
Amanda reminded me of my daughter and
granddaughters; so full of life.
Amanda is gone from this world, but she will
always be remembered and will always have
a place in my heart.
To you Amanda, we will always miss you.

A dear friend of Amanda's wrote:
"..... There is an Australian aboriginal story
which answers the question about why the special
people die young- they say that the old people
who live in the dreamtime love them so much that
they can not bear to be without them.
This is what we feel too!..."

For you Amanda
A last goodbye, a new beginning
Do not stand at my grave and weep-
I am not there, I do not sleep
For I am the thousand winds that blow
I am a diamond on the snow
I am the sunlight on the ripened grain
I am gentle autumn rain
When you awaken in the morning hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of gentle birds in circled flight
I am the soft stars that light the night
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I do not Die.!
