Found this on the SW site, very sad, rest in peace Amanda.
Amanda Franklin
Those of us who follow the airshow circuit, are fully aware of the tragic accident that involved Kyle and Amanda Franklin about 10 weeks ago. While I never have had the pleasure to meet Kyle, I was lucky enough to know Jim (his father), meeting him when he first joined the airshow circuit years ago.
For those who may not be aware, Amanda sustained severe injuries in the accident. Kyle was also injured, with the majority of his injuries coming while trying to rescue Amanda. Unfortunately, Amanda has lost her battle, and passed away yesterday.
I have posted the following from the Franklin's Flying Circus Facebook page:

It is with a broken heart that I tell you that my beautiful girl Amanda passed away at 10:10 central time this evening. Beside her was her adoring husband Kyle, her mother Jeanie, her brother Matt, her sister-in-law Michelle and her devoted mother-in-law Audean.
Thank you all again for your love,
Goodnight and God bless Amanda,
Kyle
