Hey mom, I just wanted to say that I wish I could´ve met you every day that goes past, after I met Grandpa and Grandma and my brother and sister. It´s been a blessing knowing that in my life, I didn´t realize I had family out there that cared about me who wanted to meet me, I felt like I was alone and I felt like I didn´t know if anyone know who I was or even if they knew I was alive. I was even adopted you know for the longest time after meeting them a year and a half ago I´ve just ever since that day. I cannot get you out of my head, wishing I would´ve met you and I miss you so dearly you don´t understand even though we never met. I hope one day when time comes when I get old and gray I will be able to meet you. I can´t say enough how it feels to know that I did have family out there who cared and loved for me. I miss you and I miss the family.

I can't believe how much time has gone by...seems like yesterday we said goodbye. I think about you often, every time I see a dragonfly I say, "Well hello Amber". You are missed and I know you are watching over all your loved ones. Until the next time you come to visit me..you are always in my heart.

Linda and Alan~~

God only chooses the "Special Angels" on Earth to be with him in Heaven. Even though it is hard for "us" left behind to understand why. May you find comfort in knowing that you will be together again someday. Until then, remember that Amber lives on in your wonderful memories and in the beautiful children she left for you to cherish. We will always remember the nights spent laughing with Amber around the campfires at Grande!!

Linda, if you ever need to talk with someone who understands, we are always here for you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you now and always.

I just got the news the other day and i couldn't believe what i heard my cousin amber gone. I know its been a long time since ive seen Amber 16 years to be exact. 16 years is way to long to be away from family now there isnt a day that goes by i wish i could turn back time and see her again. I never got to see her as an adult but most of all as a mother. Amber you will never be forgotten you will always have a place in my heart. Memories are all that we have of you now and they will be cherished for the rest of our lives. I miss you and there wont be a day I will forget you.
You going through this stage
Its a restless age
Young and insecure
Sill, there are doubts to fade
Moments to be made
And one of them is yours
On the wire
Balancing your dreams
Hoping ends will meet there means
But you feel alone
Uninspired
Oh does it help you to
Know that I believe in you
You're an angel waiting for wings...Amber Mae.

For Amber..

I thought of you today
As I hadn't thought in years
Photos of our time together

Brought smiles and laughter mixed with tears..
Smiles for the little girl so full of energy and pranks,
And laughter-we never knew what she'd be into next.
I cried for the time you should have had to see your children grow,
And for the fact that we lost touch, so many years ago.
I wish that I had known you as a woman and a mom,
My heart is heavy knowing now, the chance for that is gone.
The world seems somehow colder now,
The colors not as bright
As if it is acknowledging a special soul has taken flight.
My heart is full of love for you,
it hurts to know that you have gone
But in my heart and memories,
My little laughing Amber Mae will continue to live on..
Always and always

Aunt Viv
