It was with great sadness that we learned of your family loss of Amanda. A tragic accident and taken too early. Your grief will remain forever but learning to live with it will be a slow process. My wider family and I express our deepest sympathy to the Kidd family at this time Sincerest thoughts John & Wayne Matheson

I’ve known Amanda almost 20 years since we met in Japan through our Dad’s connection. She’s been a good friend ever since. Always full of exciting new ideas and projects. She was positive and energetic and smart and such a loving mother to her 2 delightful children. I will miss her so much. Condolences to all her family.

just reading of amandas tragic death, while a service is being held for her in auck…remembered from csc days, a very bright bubbly young woman, who i havent seen since those days. kind regards to all those who were close to her

Amanda was an outgoing, friendly, intelligent 10 year old when we met at Heddon Bush School. Her kindness to our younger children during our time there has always been remembered fondly - she was a “patient player of games” during their many times with Marion and Frank. I’m sure we knew then her driven personality would take her on an exciting life journey - and it did, both overseas at at home. Mariana and Samuel have lost their special mother. Family and close friends will help keep memories of Amanda alive as they grow up. Our most sincere sympathy to all. Gary and Isla Tenbeth (Justin, Liam and Lauren)
