Amberlea's Book of Prayers and Letters

Below are excerpts from a book that Amberlea's classmates made for her. What amazing kids and great friends they have been to Amberlea over the years!

Dear God,
Please help Brian. I miss him. I wish he was still here. I want him to come back. Please take good care of him. Amen (decorated with Royals symbols)

Over the Ocean
The Ocean Shines Blue
With Heaven above with
Memories from someone who has died in your family
and is never coming back from above
but someday you will be in Heaven
without pain or suffering
but love
Amen

Dear Amberlea,
I am sorry for you Amberlea. Also I am sorry that you are sick. Sorry for your stepdad. I know that it is hard to be at school. From your friend.

Dear Amberlea,
I know how you feel. I felt the same way. I hope I made you feel better last Tuesday. I miss Brian too. He is always with you now. I wish I could see him again. You can always count on me to be your best friend.

Dear God,
Please help Brian feel welcome in Heaven. Please don't let Amberlea be too upset. Please help Tye learn a lot about Brian. Please help comfort Amberlea and her family. Amen.

Dear God,
Please help Amberlea and her family. Please help Amberlea have a great school year. Please help Brian be happy in Heaven. Please help Amberlea have great memories of Brian. Amen.

Dear Amberlea,
Sorry that Brian died and that Tye is that little. I hope that Tye remembers Brian. We will comfort you. Your friend...

Dear God,
Please help Amberlea and her family because Brian died. We hope they feel better. Amen.

Dear Amberlea,
I hope you feel better. I hope Brian is having fun in Heaven. I'm sorry Brian died. I'll pray for you. Your friend...

This little book seemed to have sparked off a turnaround with Amberlea yesterday. She has a long way to go, but was excited about her day and being with her friends! I was hoping that she would enjoy the comfort of school, being surrounded by so many who love her.
