I am sorry to hear this news shocked as well. I will keep her family in my prayers.
I am deep hurt by this, as everyone else is as well.
All we can do as human beings is to honor her career and celebrate her life. I’ve turned the Amanda Savell group I created with her blessing nearly a year or so ago into a tribute group. Post video, pics, stories, whatever you have that celebrated the good friend and competitor many of us have come to know and love.
