Hi my name is Amanda Faith, I was born in California on January 7, 1985. I’m sorry about your father. I wrote many letters to the Decatur Newspaper and to Richard in the past few years. I am Karen’s Biological daughter. I did sooo much research, and gained plenty of proof along with a book full of genealogy on the fam. Which includes many documents, articles, photos, and personal family stories. I written to Karen and did back ground checks to find her. I didn’t know she had so many siblings. I only knew of one. One day I decided to once again look up my biological family by name for the 1,000th time, and I came across this. I wish with all my heart to meet anyone who would meet me. I am a HUGE NFL Colts fan! I have a genealogy trip that I’d like to take when I can afford it. I have 2 young children. I have so much to say. Email me manda33@gmail.com
