Dear Amber and Family Your mother and I had some good times together. We rode to Bloomfield on occasion and visited with your grandmother and that was enjoyable. I remember one time on a summer day after work she buzzed by in her little blue sports car convertible with one of her dogs and we took off for the lake. It was a fun and rather wild ride. I would rather not think what people thought when they saw those two women with a big dog in the back and the top down on that little sports car. One time she asked me had I ever been to the Monteray auction. Heavens, I not only had never been but never herd of it. What a deal. We went. It was an experience. Amber, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time. It was so admirable that you had her in your home and cared for her. She is in a better p[ace now and to me death can bring peace and no pain. SusieC Posted by Sue Ellen Oden - Centerville, IA - friend January 19, 2015
Amber, I really enjoyed working with you mother even tho we didn't see eye to eye on everything. She had a great sense of humor and we shared alot of laughter over the years. The entire office was a better place for your mother working there. I know she loved you very much. She will be sorely missed by you and your family. She is now with the Lord and in no pain or confusion. May she rest in peace Toni Posted by Toni Maletta McCloud - PEMBROKE, GA January 19, 2015
So many good times with your mother both at work, many lunches, and on our way to Ottumwa to Union meetings so we could also eat out. She loved you, Amber, Rocky, and her grandchildren. Prayers for all of you and such a blessing she was able to be in your home the last few months. Posted by Pam Wesch January 19, 2015
Amber we were so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. Even though we haven't had contact with you for years we will always have her in our memories and will remember how she loved the dogs.
