What a shame. Sounds like she put up a hell of a fight.
God speed.

If you take the time to read his heartfelt and brutally honest notes during her battle for life, it will just tear your heart out. I am usually not an emotional man but reading his thoughts brought me to tears a couple of times. Although I never met them personally, I have lost personal friends over the years to airshow accidents and I can only imagine what the families are going through right now, especially considering who they were, and their families history. One thing I am sure of is that she is flying with "Angels Wings" tonight. God Bless

Your right. I haven't kept up daily, but I have read some of his postings and it was tuff to read. I can't imagine the pain their families are suffering now.

How two families can endure so much tragedy is beyond comprehension. Condolences to all. RIP Amanda.

I just found out tonight. My heart just sank. I've been following her progress on FB since the crash and I really hoped she would pull through

Rest in peace, Amanda.
