   A funeral service for Amber Mahon will be at 11 a.m. Wednesday, April 1, 2015, at Frank & Bright Funeral Home in Flora.  Interment will be in St. Stephen’s Cemetery, Flora.  Visitation will be from 5-7 p.m. Tuesday, March 31, at Frank & Bright Funeral Home.  Memorial donations may be given to the fund that is being established for the benefit of Amber’s daughters education and will be accepted at the funeral home.

Amber, although I mourn your passing so gravely I also choose to celebrate the wonderful life you shared with so many, me included. Laughter and kindness surrounded you and I will never forget your amazing smile that had the power to light up any place that you were. Even though you grew up to be a beautiful woman with a family of your own, in my mind you will always be that sweet little girl who would crawl up in my lap as a child. I love you baby girl.
