Amanda,
Theres so many things that have happened that i want to share with you. I was texting you for a bit but it seems someone may be using that number now…
I wish that i could share this surrogacy journey with you. I want you to scold me about my water intake and that i need to up my protein consumption if i want to avoid hair loss.
We got a new puppy. Unwillingly i swear lmaooo Stet was doing a delivery and found him on the side of the road with burnt paws and after 3 days of searching, we found his owners and returned him. 3 weeks later they asked us to take him because they no longer wanted him. You know i cant say no to a dog in need lmao. 6 dogs now and I’ve 100% lost all my sanity.
Mills new teacher is so amazing and i know you’d be so happy she got someone better than who she had last year. Were actually thinking of not pulling her from the school now lol.
You are always missed and so very much loved. Til we meet again my Purple Grape 🍇💜
I’m always thinking of you! Miss you.

Amanda,
We were not just “internet friends” we grew a connection, we were friends, we had real heart to heart conversations. We talked about life and work, we’d BS about our jobs; and this breaks my heart. This is never what i expected to find out, and it shattered me. I wish we had known sooner, i wish there was something all of us could have done. If i knew the last time we spoke on March 30th would have been the last, I would have kept talking longer. I feel like this is some nightmare that everyone is going to wake up from.
You were the most beautiful person, so loving and patient with your friends, your family and your kids. Your kids were your most prized possession, i never got tired of hearing your love for them, or what you guys were doing for the day or how they drove you insane but you wouldn’t have traded them for a million dollars. We truly grew a bond that can never be replaced, I keep wanting to text you and tell you to text me back bc there was a funny photo or some drama i had to fill you in on, my heart has an empty place for you, You will forever be our purple grape. I’ll see you in the next life, and can’t wait to catch up with you. Love you long time.
Amanda, I am honestly in shock… We met on discord and quickly grew very close. Although i knew you as Kaia and your screen name was Purple Grape, you sent one time that your name was Amanda in a text screenshot you sent me. Online personas are our own to have, I didn't love you as my friend any less when i knew your name was Amanda and not Kaia. I could always trust you on advice with handling my daughter’s teacher. You helped me advocate for my daughter in the best way possible. We bonded over our surrogacy journeys. Talking about our kids and our pets. Our views in life aligned in many ways. Seldom did we disagree on things. You quickly became one of my best internet friends and we got “married” on any bot we could like middle schoolers lol. You stopped responding on 04/04/25 and i kept texting you trying to see if you were okay. I started digging because i was desperate to find out what happened to my friend.. Then i came across an Obituary and my heart shattered. The bits of information that ive learned about you over the last year and a half were adding up and i couldn't stop crying. You were so loved by Manda, X & I. Regardless of us all being online friends, we all cared about you deeply. You were and are SO loved. I feel in a weird position because what do you mean we met online and grew close? Lol. You were such a sweet, kind, caring and beautiful soul. I hope that you knew how loved you were before you went. You will be missed more than you know.
You will always hold a special place in my heart. I love you & I hope to see you on the other side one day. 💜 RIP Amanda 💜
