I am one of the doctors who took care of Amanda and what struck me about her is her consistent gentleness and loveliness and mostly, by her overwhelming appreciation for all that we tried to do for her while she battled against her illness.
I will never forget being invited to the home of mutual friends and discovering she had baked a cake for the occasion (a delicious family recipe) that was shared by the dinner party.
To Lou and the chilfren, I am so sorry for the loss of your Wife/Mom.  I am certain her beauty, kindness and generosity will live on through all of you.

My God bless this family now with the loss of their rudder (mother) wife and good friend to all.oh And mom to bella .we will miss her with all our heart.

I would like to extend my deepest and most sincere sympathies to the Duong family. I have known Amanda for 17 years. She was an amazing person and great friend to me. We shared countless stories, recipes, and prayers for one another, and for that, I am grateful.  She was the epitome of the word “Genuine”. I am sadden by such a great loss, but honored and blessed to have known and spent time with her. She always referred to me as family, and I always felt love and acceptance from her. I will miss Amanda dearly. She was a strong woman, yet had such a gentle spirit. She never spoke an unkind word. She loved her husband and children and worked tirelessly to equip her kids with the tools they would need to be successful adults. This was her top priority as a mother. “Never forget your mother’s teachings”. I will always remember the kindnesses shown to others and me. She was truly a compassionate, caring, lovable and giving human being. Her legacy and memories we all hold dear will live on forever. I pray God will grant your family peace and comfort in the days ahead. She will definitely be missed, but never forgotten.

It is truly impossible to describe Amanda Duong in a few words. She exemplified a true Christian in all her quiet and gentle words and deeds. I knew Amanda for over 20 years and I never saw her angry or heard her raise her voice. She was so completely grounded in who she was and how she chose to live her life that she surrounded all that knew her with her grace, dignity and love. She always spoke of her wonderful husband, Lou and her four beautiful children. Her family was her end all and her love for them undying. She always treated me, my husband, Ron and my mother, Miss Harriet with the utmost tenderness and respect. God gave me the privilege and honor to be a part of Amanda’s short life. For that, I am truly grateful! I send my love, blessings and caring thoughts to her family as they go through this most difficult time. Please remember I am just around the corner! Rest in peace, with no pain or suffering, my dear friend, Amanda Duong!

Mrs. Duong is the nicest person I’ve ever met. I remember when she would teach my bible class at the church. She made sure she explained it to where everyone would understand. She treat all of the kids like they were her own. I remember going to her house as a kid and hanging out with Savanna. Mrs. Duong was always so concerning about all the kids that would come over. She would always make sure we were okay. I am going to miss you so much. You were like a mother figure to everyone. God gained the perfect angel. 

Beautiful inside and out...that was Amanda. She was genuinely kind and compassionate, always putting others first. I am so thankful that God brought her into my life, she was a gift. We shared so many conversations during our 16 years of our friendship, most of them about our kids and family,  and how crazy life was...how fast time was slipping by.  I can still hear her laugh in my memories. Heaven gained a beautiful soul - she is an angel who is deeply missed. I pray for peace and comfort for her family as they heal, and that Amanda's spirit continues to live on in her children. She adored you all and is watching you from heaven with a full heart and so much pride. Prayers, peace and warm thoughts to all. 





A beautiful soul has gone to heaven.  She has left her greatest rewards here on Earth.  God Bless Amanda.  God Bless her husband and children as they walk through their grief and loss.  Amanda was a beautiful person.  She leaves a big hole in the hearts of many.  Sending prayers of peace and love to all of her family.❤️🙏❤️🙏
