  3. Amanda,
    I think you were the first person to call me “Momma Pepper”. Bryce loved you and I loved you. I ask about you all the time. You wore my blue hat and looked so beautiful in it in Musicale. I loved your voice, but mostly, I loved your spirit. You will always hold a special place in my heart.
    I’m so sad to know you are gone. I will miss your sweet hugs and conversations.
