I didn't know Amber but I knew her sweet daughter Makenna I work at the school where she attends Kindergarten. Sweet Makenna always talked about her mommy and her little sister. I'm so heartbroken for her girls and her family she was so young.

Words can not express how much of a ray of sunshine Amber was. When we worked together at CDS we became friends, After both moved on from there we became closer friends. She was always bubbly and laughing. Her babies were the center of her universe. She touched so many people with her infectious laugh. I pray her daughters will remember how much she loves them . Rest In Peace Amber. You ARE greatly missed.

I wanted to let you know how much I have gotten to know Amber & thoroughly enjoyed chatting with her at work. I can't express how much sadness I felt when I heard the news. I have two kids of my own & I pray that Ambers children will always know how special she was. My heart goes out to you & hope someday you can find peace.
