Letter from Auntie Toni - 4/2/01

It was my honor to help Lori in planning and promoting these cardio benefits!  The people I have met who were strangers to me are now people who I know care about us and care for Amanda.  Thanks to Sherri and Stacey of Elite Fitness for opening their hearts to our loss and helping us to do something positive for other children.  I don't know the names of all the people who participated and sent me kind notes but Amanda and God know who you are.

I know that Amanda will be forever in our hearts.  I know Steph and Timmy keep her in their lives and hearts and minds.  Sometimes it's too painful but at other times it feels good to remember her antics and see her brilliant smile and it warms my heart, like she is there, for a moment.

When I felt like quitting the work-out I knew I couldn't because I knew Amanda was watching and I could not quit, for her.  I will strive to continue that in my life, and for her Stephie and Timmy. I will never stop being there for Paula and Joe, for whatever I can do.

Yeah, there will be more events...Amanda remains in my heart every day.  Like I said before, I am forever her Auntie and Jim is forever her Uncle, and Steph and Timmy are forever her cousins.  And I know that she was smiling that night watching us, and I bet she was making Sherri push us harder, but I could hear her "Go Auntie, Go Auntie" and I did...for her!
