Thanks man. Both were a year ahead of me. I actually met the lesbian first in middle school, we were in band together. Never got an unstable vibe from her, laid-back tom boy that used to joke around, but you just never know. I used to talk to Amanda's cousin on the phone and she introduced me to her, we hit it off immediately. I only knew her for like a year and a half but I can say that Amanda was one of the most genuine and kind-hearted person that I have ever met.
The mental instability was that she was a lesbian to begin with.
