| About | On the evening of May 29, 1997, Amanda and Randy were crossing the street to board buses, which were to take them to Disneyland for the All night Graduation Party. They had crossed 4 1/2 lanes of traffic, in the crosswalk, when a vehicle struck them. Witnesses stated that the Woman. an was driving without her headlights on. Both Amanda and Randy received massive head injuries, along with broken legs, punctured an collapsed lungs. Amanda died seven days later! Randy survived, but has permanent damage. At only 16, Amanda left a legacy through out the world, as people have stopped by to visit her and pay their respects on her website. She is remembered in the hearts and lives of all who have had had the privilege of meeting her. Amanda is remembered by the lone cross, which stands close to the crosswalk at her high school. The city and the high school tried desperately to stop Amanda's cross from going up, but failed. Her roadside cross has been destroyed more than once, but her love and memory will always prevail. Because of that, her cross stands proudly today reminding everyone who sees it that something very tragic happened there. Amanda and her roadside cross are featured in a new book titled "Crosses Across Our Nation" See Below: MustangMarcii@aol.com Pasted and Copied from Dee Alstatt from Amandas Virtual memory page. |
