Amber Marie Weatherford

I have tried to gather my thoughts all week and try and make some sense of our (all of us who loved Amber) loss. My heart aches for her sons, her mom and our dad, her boyfriend, as well as the rest of her family and friends who are suffering.
The only thing that has given me comfort is to think of Amber now being reunited with her cherished daughter Chloe.

I remember the first time I saw Amber, she was a young baby and I, her 15 year old sister was her I babysitter, even then her eyes could captivate you. I was so blessed to get to know Amber.
I am so thankful for the time over the years that I was able to spend with my little sister when she came to Alaska to stay with our Dad. I am so thankful for those times which were filled with silliness, laughter and much joy. I have always wished that as adults we could have lived closer, my boys Amber's nephews have fond memories of their beautiful Aunt. Her Alaskan childhood friends have expressed their great sorrow over Amber's death.

Please know that I am praying for all of you that are suffering, especially Amber's boys, Vicki and my Dad, her boyfriend Randy; at your great loss, as well as the rest of Amber's family and friends. May God carry and comfort you as only He can.

Amber till we as sisters meet again,
(I carry your heart, I carry it in my heart.)

With love,

Lea Weatherford Shields

I have tried to come up with the right words. Nothing seems right to say at this moment. Amber was the first grandchild, the bright light that lead the way for all the grandchildren to come. She was smart and beautiful, the bond between she and Vicki shows in every picture and every smile. Miles seperate our family but the love is everlasting. I wish we could all be together right now. Just know you are all in our thoughts and prayers, here in South Dakota. Love Always and forever! Diann (Aunt Di)

Every day I have searched for the words....but keep coming up empty. My heart aches for my sister, Vicki and her grandbabies....we love you. And though our families have been separated by so much distance most of our lives, our hearts are always united. Amber will always be remembered by us as the beautiful girl who always had a contageous smile and so much love to give. She was truly a gift to everyone she met....I only wish I had the opportunity to have known her better. Our hearts, thoughts and prayers are with you each and every day.

Amber will be missed more than any of us will ever know.... May her special spark and flare live on in her boys. She is the sparkle in Vickie's eyes...always was and will always remain....there is such a bond there, that only a mother of one daughter will ever understand......Rest Sweet Angel.
Love you
Aunt Dawn*

Our family will always remember Amber and for me I will remember the wonderful years we had together in Alaska. Amber was a beautiful niece and will be missed. My love and prayers go out to Vicki, Bobbie and all family members and friends of Amber. Remember to lean on Jesus for your strength thru these difficult days. Love, Aunt Holly

Last night I had a crazy dream
A wish was granted just for me
It could be anything
I simply wished, for one more day with you.
One more day
One more time
Maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again
I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still, for one more day with you

Taken from us too soon.
Rest now our precious grand-daughter
Love you for eternity.....
Grandma & Grandpa Hruza

I am so saddened to learn of Amber's passing. It has been at least 15 years since I spoke with Amber but remember her as a beautiful, intelligent, loving, sweet girl. This loss is a tragedy for not only her young children and family but for all that knew her and those yet to meet this magnetic,wonderful young lady. Although we had lost contact over these years, I often thought of her and wished her all the best in my thoughts. Godspeed, Amber.

I am deeply sorry for the loss of someone as special as Amber. Just remember, she will be looking down and smiling...Always

I morn the loss of Amber because of going to school with her for many many years. Recently she reached out to me to help me with the loss of my niece, which was so tragic for me. She offered her love, her help, her support and her friendship to me. I am so very sad that we never made the time to have that lunch we talked about having. To the family: she was a wonderful person and a dear friend who help me in time of need. I will never forget her!!!!!

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Amber will be greatly missed.
