I was so sorry to hear of Amanda’s passing. I went to Cali Nails from when I was in college in the 90s, until I relocated to Arizona in 2018. Amanda had the biggest heart and always made time to get me in. Her work ethic was unbelievable. I treasured the times she would share personal stories with me. She even gave me chia seeds and Vietnamese pain relief ointment. I am so very sorry for your family’s loss. May her beautiful soul be at peace. A deep bow to you, Amanda. 

Elizabeth was a very kind person she was always so nice to Jodi and I when we owned the purse store Funbags she always had a smile on her face my deepest sympathy to Tom and your family, God Bless!

I always enjoyed going to Cali Nails and visiting with Amanda and Tom. She always kept me entertained and was a true professional in her craft.  I’m so sorry to hear of Amanda’s passing. My condolences to the family.

So sorry to hear this.  I worked at Total Eyewear in Brookings,  SD.  Elizabeth is the only person that ever did my nails. She had such a great personality and a beautiful smile.  The world will miss her. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

You will be truly missed.  My heart is very heavy when I heard.  I prayed for you all the time.  You were the best.  My deepest condolences.

Love you.

Thinking of you all during this difficult time. Amanda was the sweetest soul.

She made me feel like she had known me all my life when I started coming to Cali Nails for my monthly pedicures.....always let me come early to "soak"!  I was always amazed how she would fit anyone in who walked in the door needing an appointment!  I already do and will miss her smile and laugh!  Heaven gained a good one, for sure!  Thanks for being who you were to me and so many people, Amanda!  Love, Tammy
