"hi, my name is amanda, i live in minnesota and used to be friends with chris. i have not seen her since around 2002. i actually just found out about her passing last night!!!!!! i found the obituary by accident when i opened an old des moines register newspaper. i was incredibly shocked to see her obit. in the paper. the last time i spoke to chris, i assumed that she was in pretty good health, etc. may i ask what happened?? 38 is an awfully young age to just "pass away". if i remember correctly, i thought she had mentioned something to me about something (i thought minor) was wrong. i have a very poor memory though and just can't remember. i am sorry to hear of your loss. well, i thank you for your time to read this and hope to hear back from you. have a nice night, amanda "
