Be open to your dreams, people. Embrace that distant shore. Because our mortal journey is over all too soon.David AssaelThis memorial website was created to remember our dearest Amber JoAnne Shively who was born in Iowa Marshalltown on December 11, 1983 and passed away on April 3, 1994 at the age of 10. You will live forever in our memories and hearts.
*This page is a work in progress in memory of our DODO BIRD but I will have pictures and more things up as soon as possible but heres a start on who my sister was!!!*
Amber was a joyful, bright, happy little girl and full of life. She was always smiling. She had a smile that could light up a room. She touched everyone she came into contact with. She was warm hearted and kind. Although the pain she dealt with everyday didnt slow her down a bit. She didnt ever let her illness stop her from living life. Her brothers are Trever, Casey, Corey, Adam, Shawn, Craig, and Daniel. Also her step brothers are Billy and Christopher. Her sisters are Kristy, Ashley, and Tanya. Her step-sisters are Katherine, Lynne, and Shara. She was however not so lucky to have met her nieces and nephews. Her nephews are Dylan, Xander, Kaden, and Zachary. Her nieces are Ariel, Jayda, Keyara,Analisha, Ava, and Jaydn. Her parents are Deb and Mike Alman and Craig and Leanne Shively. Also her step-father is Daniel Alman Sr. He was the idol of her eye. He was the greatest father to her and they were connected at the hips. Those were the years we were happiest. In her short 10 years of life Amber made all who were lucky enough to be graced by meeting her better people. She learned and taught so much in her short time. All of her life she had many friends and to this day we all miss her terribly and we are happy for her because she is no longer in pain. But we will never forget her and will always have our lil "DODO BIRD". God may have taken her from us but he was kind enough to grace us with her presence for as long as he did. So to all of you who knew her and loved her thank you for being so kind to our lil angel. We will always be grateful to you all for just being her friend.
