Thoughts and prayers sent your way Kenny and Kylie, and the rest of your family. Amber was a great lady, who will sadly be missed. It just won't be the same not seeing her mowing the yard or messing with the flowers when we stop by for sweet corn! Take Care--Angie Hutton-McClannahan

I am so sorry for your loss. Amber and I were freinds as we were growing up. Sabin elementary, Bates park, etc. As the girls ran around in the neighborhood I always remebered Amber as being quiet and probably the most loyal of the group. I am sorry to have lost touch with her. She will be remebered fondly by all that new her.

So sorry tp hear of Amber's passing. Amber and I were high school friends and we shared a many laughs and conversation over lunch. I always wished that we would have stayed in touch....it sounds like we shared alot of things in common as adults and I know we would have enjoyed a continued friendship. My thoughts and prayers are with your family during this difficult time.

Kylie,
Just a note to let you know that lots of love is being sent your way during this difficult time. Your Mom sounds like she was one awesome lady! I love the fact that she had a pumpkin patch and loved decorating for Christmas. She sounds like me. I don't have one, but always dream of having a pumpkin patch or Christmas tree farm. Cherish your memories and know that your Mom will always be with you in your heart. My Dad died four years ago from cancer and I can understand what you are going through. I try to think about the things that my Dad loved, like the Tamarak trees in Idaho in the Fall when the needles turned yellow. When I drive around Idaho for work in the Fall I admire the Tamarak's for my Dad and say a prayer for him. These types of things helped me through and also help me to never forget his love.
Much Love to you and your family,
Sue Knox, ATF Spokane Field Office
