Amber Lee Carlson
1982-2011
Our dearest Amber Lee Carlson, 28, returned home to our Heavenly Father on August 26, 2011. She was born on October 18, 1982 in Palo Alto, California to James Wichtendahl and Jenny Kovalenko, and adopted by Jerry and Elizabeth Carlson. She attended Central High School. Amber was a loving mother to her two little angels, Isaiah and Rome who she referred to as "her world." Her beautiful smile will be missed by all. The light in her soul would brighten up every person she came across. She gave her heart and never asked for anything in return. Amber was a rare and exotic flower, a butterfly that bloomed into our guardian angel. We know that you are in a better place and are looking down on all of us. Rest in peace our beautiful daughter, sister, mother, and friend. You will never be forgotten.
Amber is survived by her little angels, Isaiah Julian Deardurff, Rome Elijah Haynes; birth mother, Jenny Kovalenko; adoptive parents, Jerry and Elizabeth Carlson; siblings, Clay Carlson, Jaci Carlson, Marianne Carlson, Dahn Gutierrez, Vinnie Kovalenko, Katie Kovalenko, Tyler Garcia. She is preceded in death by her birth father, James Wichtendahl and grandfather, LaMar H. Carlson and Marianne Colon.
Funeral services for Amber will be held on Thursday, September 1, 2011 at 11:00 am at Valley View Funeral Home, 4335 West 4100 South, where friends may visit with the family one hour prior to the services. Interment: Valley View Memorial Park. Following the service there will be a luncheon for close family and friends at 4957 Lariat Drive, West Valley City, UT from 2 until 4 p.m. A Memorial Fund has been set up in Amber's name at any Mountain America Credit Credit Union.

I'll never forget:
Taking turns pushing eachother on the ice, so we wouldn't have to go to school. 
You standing on top of the snow mountain telling the recess teacher "it's a free world! " when she told you to get down.
Playing school, playing house ( you were always Karol with a K!!) 
playing on the corn mazes.... 
Playing umm S delight :) 
You calling me Nancy! 
Taking me to my first concert with you.
Taking me to my first bachlorette party with you.
Teaching me how to do my make up, my hair, pick out clothes.... 
Fighting with you like crazy;) throwing phones and dollhouses at eachother.
Stealing lucky and hiding him in dad's truck. 
Driving to sconecutter after a long night in the broke down blue car, smoking and almost breaking down  all the way there ( my little bro'a car) laughing all the way.
All the fun parties you would take me to.
Picking up that sweet lady and her little kids waking with groceries and taking them home.
Singing to every Mariah Carey song we heard.
The time you had a cop call me to scare me for having your ID.
All our many photoshoots.
Playing speed not the card game.
Cleaning saved by the bell style. 
You teaching me countless times how to dance.
Us camping at echo.
Us camping with the boys.
"I love scotch. Scotchy, scotch, scotch. Hereit goes down, down into my belly..." 
Always quoting anchorman..
Calling me your baby sister. 
Breaking your ankle at my pool at my old apartments:( 
Our wine nights at my apartment.
You buying me ensure to keep me healthy.
Watching Nip Tuck marathons.
Sharing, and stealing eachothers clothes.
Tiny Tim our Lil tree.
Sharing every good quote, song ect with me.
My crazy party partner.
..... So so Many more amazing memories.. Love you, miss you my amazing sister..

The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These people have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassions, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen. - E Kubler Ross

Amber loved this...

My imperfections and failures are as much a blessing from god as my successes and my talents, I lay them both at his feet.

Amber was the most incredible, selfless, and genuine person in the whole world, she was SO incredibly beautiful inside and out .....
My beautiful sister, My best friend, My twin :), My everything. 
There are so many things I want to say and want her to know, but a few things in particular that I want everyone to know..
Amber Was such a truly amazing and beautiful person, with the biggest heart. When I think of all she did for me and for others, it inspires me. 
It hurts my heart to think that someone who was so giving and someone who gave me so much comfort is gone. I love her and miss her so much. She knew me more than anyone in the world, she is the one who knew how to help me through every situation I was in. She was always ALWAYS there for me and I feel like I have lost half of me, but I know that she is with me giving me strength everyday and I know she always will. 
Amber would do ANYTHING for anyone. It didn't matter, she saw the good in EVERY SINGLE PERSON, the most non judgmental person. She would give you the last dollar she had if it would help you out. Many people went to her, actually everyone went to her for everything, she was such an amazing listener. She knew the answer for everything and would always be there to help you, teach you, or comfort you.
Amber was The MOST amazing role model, and such a caring mother... She would do anything in the world for her boys.. They were her life, everything that mattered to her in this world. They were a little team, and she taught them to be the sweet, kind, and loving little boys that they are today. She was my sister, & my best friend. A true friend to so so many. 
When I found out I was pregnant, amber was one of the first calls I made, and she just knew, she always knew things before I could even tell her them, she said "your pregnant aren't you!!!!"  and I just laughed because I couldn't hide a single thing from her . . Ever! .... and the next thing she said was "it's a boy!! omg your going to be mommy!" We both started crying And I told her I was scared and I needed her throughout it all and she promised to be there with me every step of the way, and I know in my heart that she was with me and will be there with me   For the rest of my life.
 She taught me how to deal with the hard and challenging things that I've had in my life, She showed me how to be strong and pull through any situation that I got into. There was nothing that I did that she didn't support me with. Always looking out for her baby sister :) Such an amazing person. I'm so lucky to have so many fun, and wonderful memories with her, I'll NEVER forget them. 
I looked out into the crowd at her funeral, as packed as it was with all the many people who's lives she touched. Every single person out there   has a story about  a time  that they needed someone and she was there for them, giving them the advice they need, listening to them, supporting them, or just being there with them through a difficult time in their life.. Because that's what she was, an angel. And I want her to know that the things she has done for people, the  lives she has changed and the people who's lives she has touched ... That will NEVER EVER be forgotten, she has made me who I am today. 
She taught me all I know from my make up, to my clothes and style, she showed me everything. SHE was EVERYTHING to me... And she's given me the STRENGTH to go on and I want to thank her for that.
 I love you so much my beautiful sister and best friend Amber Lee Carlson.

Amber,
I still can't believe your gone. You were my best friend. And you always had the answers. With out you i'm lost. I have dialed your number so many times to ask you a million different questions. Just to get a painful reminder that I can't ever ask you again... I wish I had more time with you. Just one minute. I just thought you would always be there. I never even thought you wouldn't. i still have so many questions for you. You always had the answers for me, even when it was not something I wanted to hear. I can't believe it's been a whole month. I will keep my promise to you Amb, I swear I will. Just please promise me that you'll never leave us. I will never forget your song to the boys or the poem that you and I wrote together ;) or how in your crazy hyper chocolate rushed voice and huge eyes you would pinch me and say I love you sissy, your eyes are like crystal water faalls in heaven! Lol. Or us constantly and over quoting anchorman and Dirty love. I miss you so much and I will NEVER forget all of our time together. You were my sister, and hero Amb. The strongest person I knew and I'll always remember you.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

If tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane, Id walk right up to heaven, and bring you home again. Love here on earth, love beyond the grave, there are no roads, my love for you can't pave.


Though I didn't see you much at all, or in a little while, I remember the times I did. You will always be remembered, loved, and missed.

Love always,
Ixchelle

A sister’s love is special
in oh so many ways
With such stretch between us
minutes turn to days.
We’ve shared so much as children
The tears, the joys, the pain
A lifetime spent together
those memories remain.
In times gone by we’ve pondered
the paths our lives have taken
Knowing that in spite of this
our sister love unshaken.
A sister’s love is special
in ways that are unspoken
Still that binding force exists
our sister love unbroken.


Amb,
You were not only my sister, You were my best friend. You were always there for me through the hard times and always my partner in crime through the good times. You always had the answers for me and the best advice. I could trust you with all my secrets, you were my diary. You carried the world on your shoulders just to make our lives easier. You helped me create memories I will never forget. You taught me to live life to the FULLEST and to never give up on my dreams. But the most important thing you taught me is how to be a good mom. You taught me patience, love, determination and strength.
Being "MOM" was your whole life, your joy, and your legacy. You gave your all to that and still had time to teach me everything I know. Everything I know about love, and life and everything in between. Amber, You were my rock, my strength, And my hero. I remember dancing like fools to funny songs in the car, just to make people laugh, and how we could talk for hours while night turned into morning. So many memories that are sealed in my mind, never to be forgotten.
I will never forget your smile, your love, your laugh, your voice,and EVERYTHING you taught me. I love and miss you so much and I will NEVER Forget YOU.
So goodbye for now my beautiful sister I love you SO Much!

There is no simple time
There is no simple way
You'll always be in our heart,
it will never Fray

Seeing Him, is seeing You
I'll be strong to see him through

He is ours and in your arms
He feels you there as he warms

They'll speak of you as there Mother
He'll be strong for his Brother

Those Big Blues Full of Love
I know you'll see from up above

He sends His Misses and His Kisses
He will be your hopes and wishes

We miss you now
We'll miss you then
With our Hearts will always Tend

Amber Lee
Amber Lee
In Our Hearts You'll Always Be.......

Love Always

You never said I'm leaving
You never said good-bye
You were gone before I knew it
And only God knew why

A million times we've needed you,
A million times we've cried.
If love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died.

In life we loved you dearly,
In death we love you still.
In our hearts you hold a place,
No one else will fill.

It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn't go alone.
Part of us went with you,
The day God took you home.


Amber I am so happy to have known you your going to be greatly missed.

Rest in peace

Rest with the angels my amby dear, free from the pain inside.
I know i'll see you once again,
on the other side.
i'll never forget the way you laugh, music to my ears.
I'm lucky to have known your beauty, i'll never forget the years.
May your family be at peace,
May your boys be safe.
Rest with the angels amby dear,
Youre in a better place.

I willl never forget you. I love you. Dreem lee

Amber, I met you through mutual friends and I remember a camping trip we all went on, you brought your boys and I thought they were the coolest little boys, because I always wanted some rowdy and fun little boys, I didnt know you as well as I wish I did but in the time I did get to know you, you were always very sweet to me and you always had a smile on your face. I dont know why you are no longer with us but I do hope you have found peace and you are now a beautiful angel and you have left an imprint on so many peoples lives so even though you are no longer here, you will live forever in the hearts of all that know and love you. Tawnie
