Funeral and Burial for Panda

Donation protected
Amanda "Panda" Powell suffered a brain aneurysm on Monday, 6 July, that took her from this world, leaving behind a beautiful 14-year old daughter, along with memories that will last a life time.
She was the center of gravity at Cask & Wine at the Cove, always on display with a fashion statement, and a poetic gesture for anyone that entered into her air space.
While vertically challenged, she stood tall like a Carolina Pine with an ever present smile and non-stop chatter that would bring the room to a roaring laughter.
She was the posterchild for the phrase"dynamite comes in small packages."  Even though explosive and boisterous in nature, she had a deep unbridled love for her daughter Lanie, her beloved dog "Precious," and all things "Stephen King."
Most vividly, I can see her at Halloween, dressed as "Wonder Woman", ready to take on all challengers as she prepared to crusade for time, love and tenderness in a world that has simply gone mad.  Amanda was a visionary, always seeing beyond the rough edges, embracing the moment with love and affection, creating nirvana for all those involved.  No mountain was too tall, no water too deep, and no road too long for her to conquer.   Her memory will last forever and we look toward Heaven as she now dances on the streets of gold.  Rest in peace sunshine.  We will meet again. Love always....James Bivens and the gang at Cask & Wine at the Cove.
