After all of these years Manda, I still have a hard time reconciling the fact that you're gone. I remember seeing you and your kids for the last time at a family reunion. Such a beautiful soul, and a wonderful person. I remember when we were kids together and delighting in the sweet, caring person you were. You always shone, wherever you were. I pray for your family, and I pray you're at peace. God bless all of those left behind. I miss you cousin.

Manda was one of the sweetest and caring women. She learned this from her Mother, Sue Ullom. The world needs more people who were as genuine as Manda. You are missed.
