Amber, it is with a joyous heart that I support your amazing husband in his recognition of your valiant & faithful walk on this planet. You were brave, strong and full of faith thru every twist and turn. What a joy that there is a room prepared for you in Heaven.
"Have no fear little flock, for the Father has given you keys to His Kingdom.
Have no fear little flock."
We trust that you will watch over your dear family from just beyond the first ridge. We know that you will always be in their hearts & will guide them all the days of their journey.

Dear Amber and Dan
Praying for you both. Can't imagine how hard it is to let go and how hard it is to hang on. Amber, praying that the angels come and gently take to you God. You will walk with Jesus and watch over your family from heaven. You are a beautiful woman. I am so sad you have to go but you have fought hard and it is up to God now.
Praying for you and your family.

Amber you are surrounded here by love & compassion -- as you are surrounded by the same in your own home.
We pray for these days to be ones of transition for your children. May they have sweet memories of you in their midst, before the time when they will know your shining strength in their hearts.
I pray for your dear husband, Dan, who has brought so much strength and character to our community thru his capable writing skills, strong heart and studied reading.
Your legacy is stellar.
Strength and courage.
Strength and courage.

Amber, your story has always been an inspiration to me. I am so glad that you and your family had more good time.
Peace to Dan and your lovely children.
May you find everything you expect on the other side.

Dear Amber...I know that all you do and have done was because it was the right thing for you and your family, nothing heroic, brave or couragous, just what was right for you. Yet you have done all this with such openess and honesty...sharing with strangers what is happening in your personal world, not knowing how many people you have touched....making things a little less scarey (at least for me). For this I am truly thankful and inspired, to be a better person for myself, and maybe, just maybe, help someone along the way.
My thoughts are with you and your family, hoping for peace, restful sleep, much love and comfort.
-
You are in my prayers daily, Amber, along with your husband and beautiful children. I know you will always be with them in their hearts.
-
I am sending you loving wishes today, Amber. You have no idea how much your honesty has touched me and helped me look at my own path with more serenity and less fear. Thank you. I lift you and your family up in prayer.
-
Amber - I think of you daily and you have inspired me so very much. Your children are beautiful and your husband - he is so supportive and loving - I see this by the beautiful words he writes about you and your children. Much love to you and your family.

Amber--praying for mercy, grace and peace as you make the transition from your old home to your new home. God bless you and your family!
I'm sure our Father in Heaven will be waiting with open arms to receive you home!

Dan,
We are grateful for your update, and we send our love and prayers to you and your family. The love and the faith you share with Amber is amazing to us all and I know I am grateful for the inspiration you have both been. I pray Ambers time left on earth is short and peaceful and the love that surrounds you will bring you comfort at this most difficult time.
Peace be with you...
