I was devastated today – I have just found out that Amanda Peterson past away just over a month ago at the age of 43. My mother died just 17 days before her 43rd birthday, this is a very young age to leave us, I am devastated.
The world is by far worse off without her. I do not know how she died, I just know that we have lost someone that brought light into our lives, someone that through her acting brought joy and hope to a lot of people – I will miss her. Amanda, we will miss you for eternity. With a lot of love, farewell.
My sympathies and love go to her family and friends.

Amanda’s autopsy results have been release, basically accidental drug overdose.
This does not change my feelings, she had been out of the movie business for more than 2 decades she was still a star that a lot of people will miss. Farewell, please look over us and help us when we really need it, with love eternal, we will miss you.
