My Friend

As I sit here balling my eyes out, I wanted to tell you about a wonderful friend. Those from Perry know her. Amber Chase. She was diagnosed 2 1/2 years ago with a rare and deadly form of breast cancer. Those with this type of cancer last for about a year, but Amber fought for her life for 2 1/2 years. She was a strong and valient daughter of God. She had 5 beautiful, smart, darling children. Here is her husbands blog from today:

Our sweet Amber valiantly fought the battle daily against cancer and most days won. She never let cancer choke out her faith and love of others or her love of life's most important things. She had a virtue, serenity, faith, and peace about her that caught the attention of many. Ultimately she became a shining example to all of His power to save and heal our broken heart if we turn to him in faith.

On Wednesday, October 14th at 11:15pm she completely vanquished the cancer and entered into our Heavenly Father's rest. She endured to the end in faith. She sealed her example and testimony of Jesus Christ with her very life.

Our family will pray for all of our friends and family members who know Amber and will find this news difficult to bear. Just know that you can face this how we all learned to face hard things from our exemplar Amber.

Read about her life. You will come away with an amazing respect and love for someone you may not know. You will come away uplifted and with courage to face your own battles. My friend Amber was a beautiful, smart, woman full of faith and love for her Savior. Amber, I will miss your joy, love, faith, and peace you bring to others.
