Happy, happy birthday, Amanda!

You're the first person I met from the RC LIFE Taft family along with the missionaries, and your presence back then is the same today - warm, loving, kind, and overall just so motherly! We haven't caught up in so long, and yet you've been so present and supportive in your own ways, and I'm so grateful for your gift of friendship and accompaniment. I'm grateful for YOU! ♡

I look forward to growing in love, faith, and service with you for years to come! Sending love and prayers your way today and always! I love you so much, Mom Amanda! Let's catch up over some coffee soon! ♡

Amandaaaaaaa!
Happy happy birthday! There are so many things I want to thank you for that I don't even know where to begin!

I'm so grateful for your friendship, your guidance, that amazing breakfast date we had, movie/TV afternoons or evenings, all our Survivor planks + workouts, coffee cake (and really all the moments you inserted my favorite food in the menu! hahaha), and really every moment that I got to spend with you! I wouldn't have had such a warm, joy-filled, and healthy (haha) missionary year without you!

Thank you for all your love and support, and always leading me to Christ, no matter what we do together! You're a great person to work with, and an even greater friend and spiritual mom (to me and my sisters!). I am so blessed to have gotten to know you 🤗

Have a wonderful day! May you always get the exact coffee taste you want, and I hope you get your filet mignon soon enough! Hahaha 😉❤️ Praying for you always!
Love, Chelsea

I'm blessed to have met such a wonderful person like you. Thank you for all the times we've had spiritual direction. I always come out with so much things to pray about. Thank you for being so kind always. You really make me (and a lot of others) feel extremely safe in your presence. Hoping to see you real soon!

Stay safe and God bless!

Shanny ❤️

I am so grateful for all the guidance you have given me ever since I was discerning RC. You've accompanied me through all the important decisions I've made in the past few years and I really cannot express how thankful I am that you were there! I don't know where I'd be without you right now (I'd probably still be a 100% Martha before Jesus told her off!). Looking forward to the next time I get to see you in person (praying that we get the opportunity to sit and chat on the 2nd floor of Gonzaga by the windows one day 🤞🏼) Praying for you in a special way today, Amanda! Have a great day today ❤️ -Lianna

What a gift you are! Here’s to more conversations over coffee and ube pan de sals—hopefully in the flesh! Special prayers for you. ♥️ Happy birthday! -Beverly

Looks like it's someone's special day today!!!

I'm honestly so grateful for everything that you do and for all the moments we've shared together! Thank you for always being there to listen, for praying for me even when I didn't know I needed the extra hand, and for serving as an incredible spiritual mom to me and a lot of people here in the Philippines.

When I first met you, I immediately noticed your warm heart and your kindness. Though you did not know us, you welcomed us with open arms, and not a day goes by that we don't feel blessed being able to call you our friend.

Please know I'm sending you special prayers your way! I hope you have an amazing time with the community and with the people you love too!

Happy birthday, Amanda! I'm so excited for our next shared coffee soon!

I'm so so grateful to have met you and to be able to stay in touch through apostolic dialogue every once in a while. Thank you for always making sure we're being guided both spiritually and org-wise. You make org work and calls fun! Looking forward to the day we can see each other on campus again! Hope you stay safe and healthy!!! See you soon <3 - Felicia

This is one of the clips we had with you with the weirdest context! This was in a General Assembly right after an earthquake (last Feb 2020????)!

Happy birthday, Amanda! Thank you for guiding me through the journey of being a Team Leader during my last years in the Loyola Schools! Thank you for having so much faith in God's goodness in me! Thank you for attending my Encounters schedule especially when there's just so few of us! That was one of the most concrete and most memorable instances of accompaniment that I have received from RC! -Vann

May God increase you in age and in grace. Amen!

Happiest birthday! ❤️ No one knows me like you do. Thank you for blessing me with the gift of your friendship and accompaniment. God knows how thankful I am for you! I wish you more years filled with love and light. You are always in my prayers. Will ask our friend in heaven, St. Pope JP II, for his intercession on your special day. :) Love you, Amanda! -Raina
