Amanda Marie Gaston

Happy birthday Amanda! Been thinking about you a lot this year. I was able to visit your resting place again this year and leave some flowers for you and grandma. It was a beautiful day, and it makes me happy to see the place is always so well kept. Our dad got you a chocolate cake this year for your birthday because he remembered it was your favorite, and then he cut it in a funny way like he always does hahahaha. But it looked delicious! Again, happy birthday sister, we love you so much

                 

I worked with Amanda at the Quik Shop. She was an amazing girl! We worked many nights closing together and had many great times. We had so many great conversations. She made me laugh! I miss her so much! There are so many times that I thought that I saw her and my heart just sinks. She is greatly missed. Love always, Aysha

 Amanda as we enter another new season . . . Spring ! I remember when you was about 7 years old, and we decided to get a tree for our garden and remembering how much you LOVED CHERRIES! We decided to go shopping for a cherry tree. We went to Kmart and saw a perfect size tree and bought it for our garden. We helped your daddy make a very Big hole in the ground for our trees new home it took a while to get our little tree in that hole, but we accomplished our project that afternoon. Everymorning you would water and check your tree for any cherries, but you understood that in order to have something you needed to learn about patience. One morning your little tree had some little pink flowers, and within a few weeks the new little buds of the beginning of your cherries started to grow,Oh! How excited you got to see the little beginnings of your cherries start to arrive!" When the cherries were all plump and juicy and very  RED  you came running inside the house to tell your daddy, if you can start picking them, and you surelly picked everyone of them, some never made it to the house, you ate them soooo . . . fast. Lol  Today i still remember your little face and how "happy" it continues to bless me to have such a beautiful memory of YOU and your little cherry tree.  God bless all the memories that i will always carry in my heart forever. My Amanda so loving and always so caring you have gave me so many beautiful memories and I just can be thankful for having you as my daughter.
