Amber, has served her time here on this earth and her work is now done. No more pain and suffering, she indeed fought a long a fight. May peace be with you all in this time of bereavement.
John 14:1-4 “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And you know the way to where I am going.”
