December 3rd a blood clot killed a friend of mine. She was talking and laughing one moment, the next she died. It was the day after her 30th birthday. Me and the rest of her friends are flying to her hometown, Las Vegas, and instead of having a memorial service, we're throwing a birthday party.
I hate that I've spent my weekend writing an obituary for one of the brightest, most creative people I've ever known.
Amanda Fox has left the building
Amanda Fox passed away peacefully December 3rd, 2008. She was a creative, funny, warm, interested and interesting person who took advantage of the opportunities life presented.
After graduating from Smith College in 2000, working at a magazine in Boston, and tiring of Northeastern winters, she returned to Las Vegas to perfect her online scrabble skills while working for the family company.
While the world had her for too brief a time, her presence made it a far more joyful and sparkly place.
Her memorial celebration and posthumous birthday party will be held on Dec 13 in Las Vegas, please contact afoxmc@gmail.com for further information.
The family has requested no flowers. Donations made in Amanda's name to the Las Vegas SPCA (http://www.nevadaspca.org/donate.htm) would be greatly appreciated.
