Hello everyone! Some of you know me and some of you don’t. We have been brought here together today by one extremely special person. I have known Amber since the summer of 1996 and have been best friends since that time. I remember the first time that I met Amber; I asked her why she walked funny. Amber looked at me and replied by asking me if I was talking to her and in response I said yes why do you walk funny. I thought she was going to say I was being rude but she smiled and explained to me why she walked the way she did. I also remember over the years Amber would tell me everything that was medically wrong with her and it never once changed my thoughts about her. I am missing her smile, and laugh, and all the love she brings into a room. Amber would go into a room and it would light up brighter than a light bulb. Amber’s eye would tell you the story of her day whether there was any pain or joy in her day. I remember when my daughter Rylie was 3 months old; Amber, Cait, Rylie, and I went to Applebee’s for a night out together and as I was in the bathroom; Amber and Cait gave Rylie some ice cream. I came back and laughed with them because they tried to hide it but the evidence was still on Rylie’s face. I know I will miss all the girls’ nights out with her but she will still be there because she will always be in my heart. Amber was always a giving person and she did things that most wouldn’t expect her to do. When I found I was pregnant for my youngest daughter Ja’Kayla Amber was right there and she even stuck around me for the first 6 months of my pregnancy. I swear I thought she was going to walk away because who really wants to be around a woman who was moody and always sick and always going to the hospital from being dehydrated but Amber did because she knew I didn’t want to be alone. Amber told me that only a best friend would stick around no matter what because they are like family and they know how you feel and honestly that is true about Amber. Amber was more than my best friend she was my sister and my world and my everything and she knew it. I could call her at any time and just talk to her because that was how our relationship was. I was looking through some poems online and I came across two that hit home. The first one reads; A Letter From Heaven When tomorrow starts without me And Im not here to see If the sun should rise and find you With eyes filled of tears for me I wish so much you wouldnt cry The way you did today While thinking of the many things We did not get to say I know youll always love me As much as I love you And every time you think of me I know youll miss me too When tomorrow starts without me Dont think were far apart For every time you think of me Ill be right there in your heart The second poem reads; Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the mornings hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there. I did not die. So I’ll stop talking now but I want you to know I won’t mourn Amber’s death because even though she isn’t physically here; she is in all our hearts, minds, and souls. I will celebrate her life daily. A Letter From Heaven... To My Dearest Family; Heres some things Id like to say, but first of all to let you know that I arrived okay. Im writing this from Heaven where I dwell with God above, where theres no more tears, or sadness, there is just eternal love. Please do not be unhappy just because I am out of sight. Remember that Im with you every morning, noon and night. That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through, God picked me up and hugged me and he said I welcome you! Its good to have you back again you were missed while you were gone. As for your dearest family, theyll be here later on. I need you here so badly, as part of My big plan. There is so much we have to do to help our mortal man. Then God gave me a list of things, he wished for me to do. And foremost on that list of mine is to watch and care for you. I will always be beside you every day and week and year. And when your sad, Im standing there to wipe away the tear. And when you lie in bed at night the days chores put to flight, God and I are closest to you in the middle of the night. When you think of my life on earth and all those loving years, because youre only human they are bound to bring you tears. But do not be afraid to cry it does relieve the pain. Remember, there would be no flowers unless there was some rain. I wish that I could tell you of all that God has planned. But if I were to tell you, you wouldnt understand. But one thing is for certain though my life on Earth is over, I am closer to you now than I ever was before. And to my very many friends, trust God knows what is best. Im still not far away from you, Im just beyond the crest. There are rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb, but together we can do it taking one day at a time. It was always my philosophy and Id like it for you too, that as you gave unto the world, so the world will give to you. If you can help somebody who is in sorrow or in pain. Then you can say to God at night, my day was not in vain. And now I am contented that my life. . . it was worthwhile. Knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile. So if you meet someone who is down and feeling low, just lend a hand to pick him up as on your way you go When you are walking down the street, and I am on your mind, Im walking in your footsteps only half a step behind. And when you feel the gentle breeze as the wind upon your face, thats me giving you a great big hug, or just a soft embrace. And when its time for you to go from that body to be free. Remember. . . youre not going, you are coming here to me. And I will always love you, from that land way up above, Well be in touch again soon. PS: God sends His love. With All My Love, That was everything I wanted to say at Ambers funeral today.
