“God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things has passed away.” (Revelation 21:3,4)

My sincere sympathy to Amber's family. I join the chorus of her praise. She helped our family after escaping domestic abuse. She was beautiful and remarkable in every way. So, I feel sure her light came from Jesus and she still shines even more brightly in heaven.

I met Amber when I took my son to her for counseling. I needed it too really. He was having trouble in school a few years ago. She helped me and him so much and to help stand up to the school wanting to medicate him. She would be so nice to my son and knew people very well. Excellent woman and counselor. I chose to have her there when I told my son that he was adopted. She'll always be remembered for being that truly special person for that special moment in his life. I talked to her not too long ago and she wanted to help with my son meeting his mom for the first time when the time is right. She is a sweet soul. She told me about her health about a month or a little more ago. I could tell she felt bad about not being able to meet with us because she didn't want my son to wonder why she wasn't feeling well and may cancel sometimes and all. She had such a caring heart. I didn't realize how much she affected me positively because when I heard she passed I cried like a baby for a couple minutes when I sat alone thinking of her. She was like an angel in our times of need. It's true what they say... “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” I don't forget much but I definitely didn't forget how she made my son and I feel. We felt heard, understood, loved, and truly cared for. She'd not even keep track of how many times we came and basically not charge me for some sessions. Haha. Maybe she knew I struggled financially being a full time single dad. She must have a great family that raised her. They should be very proud. I'm not sure why things happen like this but in her short life she made a huge impact on so many. A few lifetimes full I'm sure. I pray for peace in all the hearts of those that knew her. I'm thankful for the time we knew her. Her memories will live on forever. My love goes out to all of her family and friends. I can imagine her pretty voice laughing and smiling right now. ? Donald

My condolences to the family! Amber was an amazing person that touched so many lives. This is a tragic loss not only to family and friends, but also the community. She spread kindness and understanding through her counseling and teaching services. The world needs more people like her. She truly will be missed.

I am so sorry to read about the loss of beautiful Amber. I was one of her high school cheerleading coaches. And she was on the same teams as my daughter, Jessica. Amber was always a kind, friendly, outgoing, beautiful person, with a lot of inner strength. She worked hard to accomplish goals and never complained. It would seem she carried these outstanding traits throughout her short life, and was very successful. I’m so very sorry Carpenter family for this tragic loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you!

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Amber. As her colleague in Orange, I had the pleasure of working with her on numerous occasions. She was someone who listened and supported individuals during difficult times. Her kindness, expertise, and caring demeanor will truly be missed.
