My condolences again, can't believe it's been this long, I saw this remembrance and thought about Amber and got so tickled. She was so feisty, and she enjoyed her life. I'm Greg's classmate but I had several conversations with Amber. She is missed. Prayers to you all.

Dr. and Mrs. Ellis,
I am so sorry it has taken me this long to hear of Amber's untimely passing. There simply are no words to express to you how sorry I am for her loss. She and I were friends at Webb School in Bell Buckle, TN. She was such a beautiful person, inside and out and her friendship was such a light in my life. The love that she had for her family was evident in all she did. I have many memories of her talking about all of you at school, and I so enjoyed meeting all of...
