Parents remember State Trooper Amanda Anna

CNY Central | Alex Dunbar
FAIR HAVEN -- Flo and Frank Wallace have been hearing the stories from everyone they have met over the past few days. Stories of their daughter Amanda's generosity, her kindness to strangers and her genuine sense of caring.

"We knew that about her but we didn't know so many others knew - so that's what's lifting us," said her father, Frank Wallace.

All around Fair Haven, friends and neighbors have been remembering State Trooper Amanda Anna as the girl who could light up a room just by walking in. Some family friends recalled stories like Amanda making a visitor feel welcome at a Sunday School class as if it was yesterday instead of twenty years ago. The outpouring of support has been a source of strength for her parents and they deal with the grief of losing Amanda at just 31 years old. She was killed when her State Police vehicle crashed in the Town of Hastings last Saturday.

Amanda Anna was known for always thinking of others and still had one last gift to give. Her family learned on Saturday that she had registered as an organ donor.
