Amber, you were such a lovely soul. You had a way of making everyone feel truly special.

I’ll never forget how you treated me every step of the way, and how genuine your kindness was. We had plans to see each other again, and though life didn’t give us that chance, the friendship you gave me left a lasting mark.

You reminded me how meaningful true friendship can be. On this two-year anniversary of your passing, I hold on to that lesson and to the warmth you shared. Rest in peace, Amber. You are deeply missed.

I only met you once !!! But you had that THING about you. That. Ability to draw people in, to show them your heart, easily, and that made people trust you easily. Your smile, I remember (I was your manager at cheesecake) you just finished training. And you. LIKE EVERYONE ELSE IN THE HISTORY OF THE COMPANY were struggling a little with the 240 items we have in the menu. But you didn’t get stressed, you laughed. You smiled. You pushed through it. I knew who you were the minute I found out. And it broke my heart. But. I lost my twin brother a few years back. And I FIRMLY believe he takes the best ones early. Your home. Your safe. You’ll never feel pain again. I’m jealous. 

You made an impact on the ones you met. 

Thank you

Anthony
