I went to school with Amber, and although we didn't know eachother well, I was very sad to hear of her passing. Amber always seemed like such a sweet person, and she really was a beautiful girl. My heart is with her family during this time.

Amber there isn't enough paper in the world to hold all the ways you will be remembered. You are gone way too soon for the plans and for the big ideas you had planned on doing with opening a daycare this summer. Yard Sales will never be the same without you saying "do you need that". We had so much fun and enjoyed lunch, movies, concerts and playing with Mikailyn. You were such an amazing person and I will miss you so much and I am so blessed to have spent time with you and just to have known you. Rest in peace sweetie and know I and Ms. Nancy will take over where you left off and we will take care of your mom, dad and Mikailyn.

Walter and Deanna, I am so sorry for your loss. However, it is our loss as well. Amber was a beautiful girl who was a testimony in the ways she honored her mother and helped wherever and whenever needed. She gave so much of herself. I (Sue) will always remember the surprise birthday party she gave to her mother and how excited she was to give it. You will be in our prayers in the days ahead as you are reminded of her passing. Hold on to the memories. Put your faith and trust in the Lord. He is faithful to comfort you and give you peace to sustain you. Our love, Charlie and Sue Mann

So sorry to hear of the loss of Amber, it is so hard to understand. We rely solely on the strength of God's Word that He knows the plans He has for each of us. Amber was a joy to know, she touched each life on our family from Butch teaching her in Kid's Rock to her friendship in teen group w/ Matt and C Kaye - we all are saddened. But rejoice in knowing she is home with our Lord! Butch, Karen, Matt, and C Kaye Cassell.
