I'm broken hearted to read this. I didn't know her or anything, just a few posts, but I feel so horrible for her family. I am trying to think of something to say and all I can do is sit here and choke back tears at my keyboard. I'm at a total loss for words at the moment. Sending love to her family.

This is so hard to read. I just felt such a connection to Amanda. I'm not sure if it was that I lived in Omaha for a long time or what...but I just believed that she would beat this damn thing.
So sick....

I prayed for her to be healed. I called my husband because I was so upset. He said, "Your prayers were answered yesterday. You prayed for comfort and no pain. The people she was closest to were there as she took her last breath. She wasn't alone. I know when you prayed for healing, you meant an Earthly healing, but your prayers were answered. Amanda is healed." I don't take much comfort in that at this minute, but maybe some day I will.

I am going to try and find the funeral info and send her family flowers. It isn't much, but I want them to know she was loved.

I didn't really know her at all, I just sent a card because, well, I felt terrible about what was happening to her, as everyone does. What struck me as very sad was that she had her transplant and went through all the painful and debilitating treatments and hope was renewed! And then this. It makes me angry at modern medicine. It's a sad day and my thoughts are with her family. What a horrible story, no one should have to go through that.

That is heartbreaking news. I'm so very sorry to hear this. I don't even know what to say; I was holding on to my belief that she was going to recover. Same here. So sad to hear.

If you would like to take up a collection from her online friends to send a huge bouquet I would be the first to send you money. I think it would be great for the family to see how many of her "online friends" loved her.

I was going to reach out to the person who started her GoFundMe campaign to see how the family would like sympathy cards to be sent. I don't mind them coming here and then sending them on, but her husband may be okay with me sharing their address. I don't want to do that until I get an okay though. I think it would be wonderful if we could flood their mailbox with Thinking of You cards. I know she would be the first to send a card out if it were one of us.

This is such sad news. I'm sure her family is devastated. Amanda left them a treasure....She documented her life. She kept journals, worked on PL (almost every night) and she scrapped. That's why we know her. For years and years, when they look through her albums, her family will remember how much she loved them.

Thanks for posting this. I didn't know about the instagram and have been checking to see updates from her and worrying about her. I only knew about her from the studio calico thread, but she seemed very vibrant and fun. Sympathy for her family.

Balls. I am so sorry to hear about this. My heart breaks for her family, how devastating to be given such hope after the gift of the transplant and then suffer such a quick and horrible reversal. Aggie, your husband is right. Prayers for Amanda were answered, it just sucks that the only way to spare her suffering was for her to go to Heaven. Prayers will be said for her beloved and caring husband and her precious son. How heavy their hearts must be.

That's why we know her. For years and years, when they look through her albums, her family will remember how much she loved them. DH and I were talking about this the other day, before I knew she had passed. I remember her talking about her Decemver Daily last year and I told DH that I hoped she got to have at least another Christmas with her family, because it seemed like Christmas was special to her. Now that she's gone, those past DD and PL and albums she did are absolutely priceless for her son and DH. Priceless. I hope they feel her love every time they open an album.

I hope she finished her Christmas book she was working on. So very sad.
ETA: Alissa103 I didn't read your response. It is funny how things about someone really stick out. I really remember her wondering how to get the most craft supplies into the room she would be staying in for a month or longer.
