AMANDA

 

Last night, Duane's granddaughter, Amanda, graduated from high school.  What a proud moment. 

 

 

Amanda has truly become my granddaughter as well.  She came into my life when she was four years old, and has been in my heart ever since.

 

 

She was such a sweet child, and has grown into an extraordinary young lady.

 

 

She has become a shining example for her sister Valerie and her cousin Madeline to follow.  Not only has she gotten straight A's throughout her school years, but she has unfailingly been kind, gentle, sincere, and an upstanding Christian.

 

 

She has even caught the eye of the son of her pastor at church.

 

 

But, she's not always serious, and loves even the most insignificant competition.

 

 

And, is always fun to be around.

 

 

Oh, did I mention that she is also beautiful?

 

 

So, whether she's riding off into the sunset, singing in the choir, or doing calculus, we are so happy to have Amanda in our lives.  God Bless You Sweetheart!
