I remember when Amber was born my mom her G-maw was so excited! Amber was born 9 months after I got married. I also remember the "best" hugs from her. She also would show her emotions with face! You always knew her mood. I loved her hello smile and words. " You are bootifull." She is a bright light in my life and will be missed because she is loved.

I will always remember Amber’s beautiful smile and her inquiring about “when’s your birthday”. She had a simple zest for living and demonstrated God’s love in action. I pray her family be comforted by the loving Father she served.

We got to see Amber one last time a few weeks ago. She asked about our birthdays and told us how beautiful we were one last time. It was her great joy to be surrounded by people who loved her and we were all blessed to be loved by her sweet pictures and hugs and compliments. Gateway Community Church won’t be the same without our dear Amber.

Pam, I can't tell you how sad we are to hear about Amber. She was always the ray of sunshine in any room or gathering. She was already an angel. We are praying for you and your family. Amber is now with her dad and grandparents, watching over you and helping you get through each day. We love you and send our deepest sorrow. George, Rita and Rita Crowley
