Amber was the daughter I never had. She and I grew very close over the past 5 years and I entrusted her with my dearest Aunt's care and she and I loved and cared for our "ANNIE" together. Her beautiful children will continue to be the greatest love in her soul and she will watch over them always. Thank you sweetie for being in my life, I love you Amber. Paula
