Amanda was a lover of life, she loved
people, places, animals (especially
horses) Whatever she did, she did it
with passion , by God if it was basket
weaving, she was gonna be the best
basket weaver there ever was and there
wasn't anything that was gonna stop her.
We all know she was the best horseman in
the state of Louisiana. She loved
everyone; you couldn't NOT be her
friend. She just reached out to anyone
and everyone, and was surrounded by the
love of so many people.
Amanda was an employee of Math Art &
Science Academy (West) in Plaquemine.
She was a lover of learning and
teaching. She held a BS in Animal
Science from Louisiana Tech, a MED from
Northwestern, and a PHD, HRE from LSU.
She loved her job, she loved her
students, and she loved teaching them.
It was like a daily vacation for her.
She loved to watch her students grow and
made a lasting life impression on all of
them.
Amanda, our time together was too
short. We will never understand why you
left so soon, and why we have to stay
behind and endure the grief. But who are
we to understand what this world and our
lives are designed to be. Our lives are
forever saddened but our hearts will
forever glow with the love you have
shared with us. Until we meet again.
