"Aunt Amber and Uncle Darrell, I only got to meet you once the day I got married in Wichita. It was a pleasure to meet you in person. Your brother Richard, my Daddy moved our family all over the country making it hard to have some close family connections. I did name my youngest daughter Amber Lynn. I wish I had gotten the chance to know you better. Some of your sisters I never got to meet. I hope your family enjoys seeing these pictures that Daddy left to me when he passed away. Much love to you and your family. Deborah Mead Anderson"
