Amber will missed and not forgotten. My heart and thoughts are with the family. I still recall Amber as a baby snuggled in Tom's arms to their most recent visit when we enjoyed a PNW evening on the water front. We shared laughter as Amber reminisced with us about the past and Elias excitedly learned about the sea critters of the tides.
