Amanda Jane Engelhard was a force of nature. She made her entrance on this earth on May 16, 1987 and the sun seemed to shine just a little brighter that day. Amanda was incredibly intelligent and curious about everything in life. Love for animals was her passion and she was preparing for a career in animal care. She was delightfully unconventional from the time she was a child. We will always remember her neon rainbow Mohawk and the duct tape dress she made.
Yesterday, suddenly and unexpectedly she left us. The sun doesn’t shine quite as bright anymore.
Amanda left this life in her prime. She will always be thought of as a vibrant flower bursting in full bloom. She lived life well in the few years that were allotted to her. She was able to travel through the United States including Alaska, Australia, Mexico and Europe savoring every moment. Imagining this world without you is heartbreaking. We will miss her every day.
