How To Help Dutch Mantell Following The Loss of His Granddaughter

August 18, 2012

Following the loss of his granddaughter in a recent car accident, pro wrestling legend Dutch Mantell has posted the following on Facebook:

FB family…my dear sweet precious Amelia has gone from this earth. She was cremated Friday morning. My daughter and Amelia loved to travel and one of the places little Amelia loved best was the Grand Canyon. Amelia called it the most beautiful place on earth.

Amanda wants to go and spread her ashes to the winds there but she needs a little help. If you can, donate a few dollars via Paypal to help Amanda realize this goal. If you can, you can. If not, Amanda loves you. You can donate to the fund via PayPal at dirtydutchmantell@gmail.com. Love be to all of you who have helped us get through this nightmare of a ordeal.
