I am so sorry to hear about Amber's passing and my heart aches for all her family and friends. I didn't know Amber well but she started my days off with a smile as we would crack jokes during my daily Holiday coffee run. I just ran into her shopping 4 days ago..I'm glad I got to see that smile one last time. RIP Amber - 04.14.2012

I only met you a few times at Holiday when you went on leave and then came in to do your paperwork to come back. My son Jason spoke very fondly of you and I could not wait to actually work with you. You seemed so happy to be coming back and you left us too soon. You will be missed greatly by those who knew you. May your memories in everyone still here make you immortal for years to come. Prayers of Peace for all involved. - 04.14.2012

Cheryl, I can't even begin to tell you how shocked, upset, and sad we were to get the phone call from your mom that Amber had passed away. It's just not possible to understand why Amber was taken from you so unexpectedly and at such a young age, but I hope you and your girls will find some comfort in knowing that Amber is with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Your mom has told me so many times how sweet and loving Amber was to them,and I know she and your dad are going to miss her so much, too. The day after Easter your mom called to tell me the wonderful time they had with you and your girls. She said Amber and your dad had a great time talking politics. May all these fond memories you have of Amber help you and your family get through all the sad days ahead. Many prayers for you and your family. We love you, Aunt Joyce and Uncle Pete - 04.14.2012

Amber, you were such a positive influence in my life. I didnt even get a chance to thank you for saving my life that one horrible day you came to rescue me from my home. I came back home from my stay in the SOO and I was so wanting to share with you my stay there. It was a life changing event for me. My heart hurts not being able to hear your voice, or to see your beautiful self, and get your kind hearted empathetic words of wisdom. Thank you for loving me and for being my friend, you will always be in my heart and thoughts. As my father says, "You will live as long as you are remembered." You my precious friend will be remembered and live forever with me, your friend. I love you. - 04.16.2012

Like all those here, I will miss Amber's smile and sweet manner as she brought humor and insight to those who knew her. She was not afraid to reveal herself to others, and gave the gift of herself freely. I know that she struggled these last months and believe that she has found peace. My caring thoughts go to all her family in this sad loss. - 04.17.2012

I never met Amber personally. I only know her from what Billy (my nephew) told me; that she was a wonderful, kind, understanding woman who he was lucky to be in a loving relationship with.

Dear Cheryl & family, I was so saddened to hear of Amber's passing.. I know how difficult and painful it is to lose a child. There is nothing easy about it. I had not seen you or the girls in many years but remember them when they were little when you lived next door to us. What a beautiful young girl Amber grew up to be. Embrace the love and support of family and friends.. Hold close to your heart all the wonderful and funfilled memories you have. I pray they will bring you a gentle peace in the days, weeks and months ahead. Please know you, Leah, Kyla and family are in our thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time. Amber is now at peace and in a beautiful place..You gotta BELIEVE. God Bless you. Ann & Dan - 04.17.2012

It's said there is a wondrous place where all the angels dwell A place far beyond our vision A place where beauty fell. I've heard it said the angels fly throughout this place all day and if you stop and listen you can hear the harps they play. I've never seen an angel and I've never seen one fly but I just know somehow they're watching from a majestic place up high. I have heard it said they're always with us though some days we seem to fail but when we reach out to touch a heart..we truly walk where angels dwell. Amen. Our deepest sympathy and God Bless and Keep Safe all your family and friends forever. - 04.17.2012
