Born August 2, 1989 in Oregon,OH she was the daughter of Nancy Carleski and Dan McCann. Though she was very young she had much ambition. She was enrolled at Eastern Michigan University for Aviation Technologhy. More than anything Amanda's dream was to become a pilot, she was currently working on her private pilots licsence.
She loved movies, and traveling with her family and friends. Too young to start her adult life she still had a taste for adventure, just like her beloved mother Nancy that has a dear passion for travel, both promised each other that one day they would take a cruise to Alaska.
Amanda will be dearly missed but never forgotten, for when the wind blows and you hear the faint whispers of a plane in the distance remember the girl who dreamed about souring high, for she is not here in life but will always remain in our hearts,The green eyed girl that made everyone feel welcomed and no one left out. You will never be left out in our dreams for when we sleep we be with you again. You were taken from us before you could make all your dreams come true, let ther be justice from our pain...you will never die but always live on through our kind words, Amanda Elizabeth McCann.Sleep Well.

I liked it (a bit morbid but spot on tone for an obituary). I think a picture of you (or of a girl) would be great when actually doing it. Perhaps doing the "survived by her mother, Nancy Carleski and father, Dan McCann" would make it sound more like an obit. Especially nice was the place where you included the information about memorials and online condolences. That was a nice touch.
You've really captured the language of an obituary, and I can see how this will tie in emotionally with the "story" you will be telling in your multigenre essay. You might include the exact location of the church so that people know where to send memorials exactly.
