Mara and Marcus,
I was startled to read of your mother's passing in the Journal today. God be with you til you see her again. I remember your mother's guidance in your lives. I enjoyed knowing you both at Roosevelt School.

Amman Family,
Words are woefully inadequate to express our feelings of sympathy for you all. We pray that God's love and peace will carry you through this unexpected tragedy and place you gently on the other side of the sorrow.

Our hearts ache for your incredible loss!!! Deana - what a full-of-energy-and-laughter friend! When Deana walked into a room, a party began!!!! Her laugh was one of the most catching I have ever heard! Her heart was so amazingly unselfish and tender! She has left a major hole in this world - that can never be filled! THANK GOD we will get to enjoy her company again one day....she is safely in the arms of Jesus....and she is loving it! That's where the party is! John, Michael, Molly, Marcus and Mara: We love you and wish we were there near you to be of comfort and help! Please know we are praying for you all!
