I did not know Amber, personally, but I do know that her loss will be traumatic for the family. Barb, I cannot imagine what you are going through, right now. Please know that I am here if you want to talk or if you need anything. Tom, my condolences. I know that Amber’s passing will be very difficult for her siblings, too. You are all in my prayers.
