  1. I will miss Amber dearly she was my “daughter in law” while she was living with our son Doug Hendrickson during her pregnancy with Parker. Parker is not our sons but we love him very very much, Amber & Parker will always be part of our family. Amber would message me all the time saying hello Mom how was your day. She for my advice very often and always said I love you! I will always love her very much. Nate Amber told me she would want you to have Brentley if anything should ever happen to her. I pray somehow her wish is granted. We took Amber to church many Sundays & I know she believed in God. Blessings Nate to your whole family.
