November 7, 2020 at 1:28 amMy heart is heavy since losing Amber. She was special to me as a granddaughter by my son’s marriage to her mother. She was a thoughtful, gifted, very intelligent person and always seemed to enjoy the times we were together. It was a joy to have her son, Aidan, added to our family also. I have some wonderful memories of Amber , especially as a bride at New Harmony Inn in Indiana. Amber will be greatly missed. We will honor her memory by holding Aidan, whom she loved so well, close in heart.

December 12, 2020 at 12:20 pmI miss Amber so much I cry every day. We had planned on doing so many things that now we will never get to do. I am very sad. I don’t know what to do . She was the smartest most brilliant person I have ever met in my life. I was the lucky one to be her husband. Amber bear I love you so so much and I will miss you forever. I guess for now I will mask my pain with beers I know she wouldn’t like that but I have nothing. I hope my message gets approved I tried to make a good one 20 times but every time I try it’s so hard for me so I delete it and restart. No amount of time will ease the suffering and loss that I have endured. When I asked her to marry me I loved her with all my heart when she died part of me died for the rest of my life I will never be the same. I continue to pray for her son Aidan and her family. I don’t know what I can do to ever help anything but I will try my best. One more time I miss and love you Amber Motyka!!!!
