Honoring Amanda Stevenson

Please see the message below from Amanda's sister.

"My big sister Amanda was a lot of wonderful things. It's hard to pick a few words to describe someone so complex and special. One description that has been consistently used over the past few days is "sunshine". She truly lit up any room she entered. She was the life of the party.. If you ever had the privilege to see her dance you know what I'm talking about. She loved those around her SO deeply. She remembered the little things. This morning I picked out the dress that she will be buried in. While I was in her room I found trinkets, notes, photos, and cards that she collected from her loved ones. Things that the average person wouldn’t think of keeping. She truly cherished these items as they reminded her of those she cares for.

She was the queen of funny videos and memes. Her favorite movie was Napoleon Dynamite which speaks to her goofiness. She was confident but also humble. Possibly the most generous person I've ever met. If there was one thing she loved as much as her family it was animals. Specifically, her fur son Maurice, who she adopted from the Gwinnett County Animal Shelter. Many friends have reached out regarding a go fund me. The funds donated here will be used towards Amanda's Service and Celebration of life. The remaining funds will be donated to the Gwinnett County Animal Shelter in her honor. As her sister, I can't think of a better way to honor Amanda. I truly appreciate everyone who has reached out to my family during this difficult time."
