rkolsen 1675 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 God be with her family. I can’t imagine burying one loved one let alone two in a week. She was flying to Texas for her stepfathers funeral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie 740 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Such a tragic loss... My condolences to her and her family... OASN: It was mentioned a few days ago that she was slurring her speech and the rumor was that she was drinking again... I'm pretty sure this was a precursor to the stroke....

justin2kx 229 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Talking about the death that shook its city to its core. Wow. Condolences not only to Amanda's family, friends + colleagues but to THE CITY of Atlanta which she called home for more than 30 years. I'm watching livestream encore on cbs46.com as I've read the news. Ossmann + Greer on the phone shocked and tearful. http://www.cbs46.com/category/213015/news-live-stream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swillh2k2 203 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Tough news indeed. I moved to Atlanta after her FOX 5 tenure ended and only caught a little bit of her on CBS 46 but knew what impact she had on the community. Although she had her personal struggles, she genuinely appeared to be getting the help she needed to stay on the right track. Sad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRAP-TV 145 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Such a tragic loss... My condolences to her and her family... OASN: It was mentioned a few days ago that she was slurring her speech and the rumor was that she was drinking again... I'm pretty sure this was a precursor to the stroke.... I completely agree with your side note. I grew up watching Amanda Davis, first on Good Day Atlanta, then on the evening news broadcasts. I had such a soft spot for her because she reminds me of my own mom. I know things were very difficult for her in recent years, but she was Atlanta personified. God bless her and her family during this most difficult time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
