February 11, 1989 – September 24, 2017
Amanda Patricia Hawk, our angel here on earth, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on September 24, 2017. Amanda was born on February 11, 1989 in Houston, Texas. Amanda is survived by her father and mother, Barry Jay Hawk and Patricia Ann Hawk, her brothers Matthew William Hawk and Andrew David Hawk, her grandmother, Jean Kulp of Souderton, Pennsylvania; also, her aunts and uncles David and Jody Hawk of Bellaire, Texas; Steve and Linda Taylor of Bedminster, Pennsylvania; John and Sue Levy of Hilltown, Pennsylvania; Dan and Jane Wilson of San Antonio, Texas; and Chris and Michelle Carr of Souderton, Pennsylvania.

She was preceded in death by her grandparents William and Jane Carr of Hilltown, Pennsylvania, Roy C. Kulp of Hatfield, Pennsylvania, and great grandmother Pauline G. Smith of Hatfield, Pennsylvania.
Amanda loved her family, especially her brothers, her dog Gunner and music. She inspired all those who had the privilege to know her with her courage and beautiful smile. She was also unconditionally loved by her parents, brothers, and family.
Her parents thank our Lord, Jesus Christ, for trusting them to take care of Amanda and rejoice that she is now an angel in Heaven.
Special thanks to all of Amanda’s caregivers – doctors, nurses, staff – at Methodist Hospital in the Houston Medical Center, and doctors with the Houston Medical Group. Special thanks to Dr. Peter Schwarz who was tireless in his pursuits to help Amanda. The family is also thankful for the love and support from all family and friends provided during this difficult time, and to Houston Hospice for the compassionate care Amanda received at the end of her life.

My darling Amanda , you have been gone for a week. I miss you so much. I rejoice you are with our Lord. You will never feel pain. No one will ever stick you or poke you. No more operations. I can't wait to see you laughing. Singing and running. I look forward to you meeting me at the pearly gates along with Jesus and for the first time you will say "Hi Mom". I love you my sweetheart. Mommy

Thinking of sweet Amanda and your family as I have often done, since she was with me so many years ago at the University of Houston. Her precious face and sweet smile still warm my heart. Thank you so much for allowing me to share a part of her life again through the pictures you have shown. My thoughts and prayers are with you. May God bless and comfort you now and in the days to come.

Patti, Barry, Matthew and Andrew
May the Lord comfort you in this time of loss. Like God we want the best for you in everything you do. Amanda was a blessing to hundreds of people during her time on earth. Her courage made an impact on the lives of others beyond what we can believe or imagine. God put Amanda on this earth to expand his kingdom. He gave her to you because he knew that there was not a better mother, father or brother that would care for her and love her more than the four of you did. On the day you enter the kingdom of Heaven Christ will say well done thou good and faithful servant thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things:, enter into the joy of the Lord. Standing behind him waving, smiling and waiting to give you a big hug and kiss will be Amanda Patricia Hawk.
We Love you
The Hawks
