What a beautiful story! Just by reading your story I can tell there's no way Amber could have possibly been loved more! I think you are a terrific mom, never giving up on her. She looks so happy in all her pictures. I will never forget reading about your family. It is so inspiring.

Amber, as we think back and remember our final hours with you in 2003, I want you to know that I still love you and miss you everyday! I know that God must have put you in charge of all the fireworks displays in Heaven, because you loved to watch them so much here on earth! Your little brother, Joshua, loves them too; and your brother, Jacob, who used to make all the funny sounds that delighted you so much, is now enjoying fireworks as much as you did!

Jacob just celebrated his 7th birthday, and Joshua will be celebrating his 3rd in October. Daddy just turned 30 and realized that he'll never be "in his 20s" again; and Mama will be 28 in November. It's hard to believe that Mama and Daddy will celebrate their 10th Wedding Anniversary on November 15th. Nana will be 58 in August and is wondering where all the years have gone, especially since you left us to be with Jesus in 2003! We all still love you girly, girl, and we still think of you every day! Please stay safe with Jesus, and we will have the biggest celebration of ALL, when we reunite with you and Jesus in Heaven some day.

I love you, Amber!!!!

I happened upon this site by a link on another site. I am truly sorry for your lsoe, but am so greatful you were able to experience Amber for as long as you did. I want you to know her story as touched my heart deeply.

May God bless you, and I will keep you in my prayers.

I was on the Georgia Mom Website this morning and saw the link to the website and something just told me to click on it. I read the whole thing. Bless you all! Your story really touched me. I just wanted you to know. God Bless you and your family.

Amber's story really touched me. What a beautiful little girl. And I bet she had the personality to go with it. I trust that she is running and frolicking up there in heaven. God Bless you and your family.

i had to come back and check on your family...i viewed some recent pictures of the boys...they are so cute...i have one in the first grade and one who will be two in december...not to mention 3 more, ages 8,9 and justing who is 10. i saw amber's scrapbook...it was beautiful,something you would see on hgtv or diy. in her last picutes, it looks as if she was smiling, as if she was happy. it brought tears to my eyes, and even though i know i can not say i know how you are feeling and how it was to loose such a precious one, i still can't help but feel like i feel at least a part of your sadness.

I am a speech pathologist who works with a beautiful and exceptional little girl with Angelman's. This story touched me deeply as a person who works with little ones but also as a mother of three young daughters. Thank you for your story.

HAPPY "8TH" BIRTHDAY, AMBER!!

We love you Girly-Girl and still think of you everyday! I know you are having another Heavenly Birthday Party with Jesus, and NOTHING can be better than that! You'll never know how much we miss you here on earth, because you've gone to the place where there is no sadness; only eternal joy! One day, we will all be together again, so stay with Jesus until we come; then, we will all be together with Him (and you!) for all eternity.

I love you, Amber Lynn!!!

I read about Amber last night at work. My friend was reading about her and I began to read. This is one of the most touching websites that I have ever seen. I can tell without a doubt, that Amber is loved by all. I love her! God Bless You!!!!!!!!!

I have just finished reading a/b your sweet Amber & of course was sobbing uncontrollably. She really was a shining light in your lives, and I am so touched to read your words about how you all cared for her over the years. I know it must have been hard - with no diagnosis, people staring, asking questions, incompetent doctors, financial crisis.........and then those awful last days in ICU.
My daughter MiKayla was stillborn just a few months after Amber was born in 1998.
Seeing the pictures of Amber in her tiny casket brought back those memories & overwhelmed me. But then a thought occurred to me -- that maybe Amber & MiKayla are playing and holding hands & running and jumping around in Heaven like all silly 7 year olds do!!!
I sure hope so. I wonder each year what MiKayla would be doing now if she were alive, as I'm sure you go through the same torment. So I just wanted to say hello and that I am SO terribly sorry for your ordeal.....and that I know it continues on but you do heal some through time & prayer & support of friends and family.
My mom came to my aid in 1998 when I was having pregnancy complications and was SO supportive through everything (she also witnessed the birth) and my father, a Chaplain, performed the funeral.
Sounds like you are the same way with your son & daughter-in-law, which is just terrific cause I know they leaned on you a lot, and still do.
BEST WISHES to the entire Cash family.

I don't know where to start. I am the mother of a beautiful little girl, and the thought of losing her breaks my heart into pieces. My daughter has CP, profound hearing loss, a feeding tube, microcephaly (small head in proportion to her body), and she is also being tested for Angelman Syndrome. I can relate in some ways, but cannot begin to imagine everything thing that you must be going through. My thoughts and prayers will be with all of those who LOVED Amber so dearly. I know that faith in God is the only real thing that will keep you going in a situation like this, knowing that one day you will see her again-WALKING, SINGING, LAUGHING-and you will hold that sweet angel in your arms knowing that there will never, ever have to be a 'last time' ever again. God Bless You.

I'm sad to hear that you lost Amber I read entire site. She seemed to be a bright little girl that everybody grew to love. I wish I could have meet her. I send all my prayers and thoughts out to you and your family for the hard times and good times through the years.

I too just read the entire site and am sitting here sobbing! Amber was an amazing girl and the love and support that you showed as a family is an inspiration to me and everyone else, I honestly feel like this journey of yours has touched my life forever. Thankyou!!

I just read Ambers story. I cried so much and after I was done reading I grab my son and gave him the biggest hug possible. I cant and dont want to imagine losing a child. You and your family trully have a beautiful angel! I was looking through Ambers pictures and I absoltly love the picture of her as a bunny when she was a baby. soo cute! I even chuckled and thought to myself "Bless that babys heart!"

I only made it through About Amber to the point where you had to leave the hospital. I found myself sobbing uncontrollably. You must be such a strong family! My prayers are with you all. You have truly made me more thankful for all the blessings in my life.

I pray for your continued strength and happiness!

God Bless you and keep you.

I am just amazed at the love I felt throughout this site for Amber. Love of family, love of Amber, and love for Jesus. It is strong and powerful; just like Amber. Reading her story hurt; I feel just awful for your loss; and it was wonderful at the same time. The strength that Margie, Chip, and Jamie drew from the Lord; that they could really lean on Him in that time; shows everyone a good way to live. With love you all let her go to God; knowing that through that simple gesture; you gave her peace. She is running and playing right now; getting hugs from the Lord; and watching over all of you.
So many families fall apart at the first sign of a child's illness; you all are an inspriation; your family grew stronger and closer together.
God bless you all.

Thankyou for sharing the life of your precious girl with all of us.
May her soul rest in eternal peace. My love to you all....xoxoxooxox

My prayers are with your family. I sat here in tears as I read your website. Amber touched so many lives in so many ways.

chip, jamie, jacob, and amber's nana,

My thoughts are with your family. I know they say time heals but in any loss of a child, you never fully heal.
Your website is remarkable. I wish you and your family the best.

From my family to yours.

Amber was such a beautiful little girl. After reading the entire story I am in tears and I cannot help but to think only one thing...God chose the perfect Mommy and family for Amber. The love and support and strength you all have is amazing. What wonderful people you are and what an inspiration all of you are to me. God bless.

What a beautiful little girl and a wonderful,loving and supportive family!I have been in tears through the whole site.I am so glad Jamie has joined us on the site and I hope we can bring her alot of support and friendship.God bless your whole family!!

Happy "7th" Birthday, Amber! We love you and miss you very much. We know that you are having a BIG BIRTHDAY PARTY in Heaven, so have a blast, Girly Girl!

I Love You!
Nana Margie

What a courageous family. This website brought tears to my eyes. Especially I have a daughter who will be 5 years old in October and I was picturing it being her in that casket. Wow! God bless you and your entire family! Amber is in a much better place now watching over you.

How amazingly strong your family was through all of the pain you endured. I cannot possibly know what it is to lose a child, but I know for certain that your everlasting bond, connection, and amazing faith has touched me and I am sure everyone else who has read this. I sat here and cried for you today, not because of how sad I was, but for everything possible you did for your daughter and granddaughter up until that very last moment. That is the true meaning of family and unconditional love. You are in my prayers and thoughts and though I am so sorry for your loss, I am also thankful that you are able to share your life with those of us who need to understand the true meaning of family. Thank you.

To the wonderful family of amber cash...I read your story and it took a while to get through it because I was literally sobbing at how wonderful and supportive you all have been to her...she is a gods gift to everyone she knew.....you are in my prayers, keep your heads high, the lord only gives you what he know you can handle....the two of you are wonderful parents and she was greatful to have you as her parents.....you did everything right and dont let anyone tell you different.......you did a wonderful job.
sincerely,
Lacey :)

May God bless you and keep you. Your family will always be in my prayers. Jesus has a plan for us all.

With all of my love,
Elizabeth Cherry

I found your site through "GRUMPY'S OLDE TIME RADIO FORUM" i was very touched by the story of the loss of Amber as i am a 32 yo single father of a beautiful 5 yo myself... i can only imagine the horor of what you all went through..i only know how i would feel in your place...my little Whitney is my everything...i am not a religous man so if there is a god may he give peace and understanding to you and your family.

And I have to say, it touched me in a deep way. I know Erin, through the internet and she gave me a link to the site, for you see, I am the mother of two wonderful angels. My Hunter was only allowed 4 days with us, and December 1st it had been 5 long years since he passed. My Tyler was given to me for four years and four months, in April it will be 5 years since he has been gone. Amber was a beautiful little girl, already looking like an angel long before she passed and I just wanted to let you know how much her site touched me. Thank you Nana, Jamie and Chip for sharing her with the world....

Nana, Mom, Dad, and Brother,I have just completed reading your story and feel so blessed by Jesus through you. What a wonderful tribute.I will continue to follow your story, which I found the link to, while reading the Delfi Forum about TKR. God bless you all.

may god be with her and her free of pain my 2 girls are 23 and 24 and a granddaughter who is 11 months. i say my prayers for the strength of your family.

I just read through the site (again). The prose are amazing, and I sit here with a tear streaked face. My prayers continue to be with you.

I just read your story from IDOB - it really breaks my heart that any parent would have to go through this - may God give your family peace and comfort - Amber is a very beautiful girl. God bless you and your family............

What a lovely tribute to this darling lass. While we will all miss her we know that she is resting peacefully, with no pain and completey whole in the arms of Jesus.

I have just read the whole web site about sweet, beautiful Amber. My heart wanted to weep. She is with God now and smiling that wouderful smile she has. I will think of her often. My prayers to all the family. God Bless.

Dear Margie & Family,

I have just finished reading your entry up through Amber's funeral. Isn't it amazing what a very young, handicapped (by world standards) lovely little girl can teach us? She didn't have to walk and talk to teach us about love and brought out the best in most of those who had the privilege of knowing her. I wonder, as I read about the difficulties encountered with the medical professionals, etc., if this was just bad luck or if the feeling exists that a severely handicapped individual doesn't warrant the attention someone else might? I hope not. May God bless all of you and may her memories live on in your hearts until you meet again.

Margie and family,

I have just spent quite some time reading Ambers Story. Is it really a year ago that this darling little girl went to be with Jesus? Oh, how I remember so well holding prayers for Amber and having my Internet group join me.
The page is so beautiful.Please know that Amber is always in my prayers.
hugs
Susan

Chip, Jamie, Jacob and Margie,

As we again viewed your page and read the accounts of Amber's homegoing, we were again touched by the reality and the certainty of life and death. God has not promised us another day upon this earth, nor has he promised us a tomorrow but He has given us this one day to use or to throw away. So this one day we have decided to use it for the glory of God by pronouncing a blessing upon you and your family. We know that no words that we can speak will bring you enough comfort to take the place of the missing place at your table and the missing place in your hearts, but the blessing nevertheless is our way of saying, trust in God, hold on to every promise in His Word and remember the words of David when his son died, "I cannot bring him back but I can go to where he is" (my paraphrase). We, as your family, join with you in the remembrance of your daughter and our great-grand-daughter and in the biblical hope that we will all see Amber once again.

We love you all

Paw Paw & Maw Maw
