Thank you for your comments and emails the past few days! I appreciate them all so much :) Amber continues to live on in our hearts and always will!
Amber's best friend Will came to visit and brought food. He is so kind and he can cook! He came before lunch and brought quiche, homemade banana nut muffins and fruit salad. Oh it was so good!
We later went to the cemetery and released balloons ... of course they were purple! We watched them float into the beautiful blue sky! Jennifer had to work all weekend so she couldn't be with us.
Of course we tied balloons to her vase of flowers! The wind was really blowing them in all directions.
Sunflowers will go in her vase for her birthday :) You all know she loved sunflowers!
Will and his family sent us this beautiful vase of flowers the day before ... aren't they gorgeous! His dad was the pastor who baptized Amber and Jennifer, officiated at Amber's funeral and married Jennifer and Jeremy. We have quite a connection. Will's mother and I are very good friends also.
Had to have a closeup of the roses. They are a lavender color and gorgeous!
I promise my next post will be more upbeat. I have been working all day on putting my room back together that we have updated. I am trying to decide whether to paint a couple of older pieces of furniture. Gotta keep my mind busy!
Hugs,
Donna

I've beeen thinking of you a lot lately, Donna. I love the way you all honored Amber. Second anniversary of my Vann's passing coming up. I can't believe it has been two years. I know you feel the same way about Amber. Blessings to you, dear friend.
Oh Donna, I remember when I first found your blog and Amber had not passed long before. It doesn't seem like it's been two years. I think it is wonderful how you have brought Amber to us and we all think of her now. What a wonderful way to remember someone so special.
Hugs,

Ditto Sweet Bee Cottage. I feel like I know Amber from all your posts. What a legacy that gives her!
