Dear Friends, You have our deepest sympathies, we know how difficult it is to lose a child and we will be keeping you and your family in our prayers .thru this difficult time. One of my favorite verses is found Ps. 125:2 "As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people both now and forevermore." Our God is always faithful, may his promises sustain you in the days to come. Deb and Jim Orange

Thinking of all of you and praying for you. "He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man’s heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end. I perceived that there is nothing better for them than to be joyful and to do good as long as they live;" ~ Ecclesiastes 3:11-12 This made me think of Amber, and all the joy she gave those who knew her. Praise the Lord - He put eternity in her heart, and she is there now. Hope Nobel
