My family passes our deepest sympathy and love to the Eyman family.  I can only pray that the Lord will lead them down the path of healing and see them through these unimaginable times.  I will not be in attendance, but ask my PGR brothers and sisters to do their best to block any photos or media coverage of Amber's funeral.

If you covered it, I missed it. I'm guessing that the escort from Lambert will take place on the evening of Monday, Nov. 27th. Is that correct?

May God be with this family as they mourn their loss.

My condolences to the family and friends of Amber Eyman. I know this must be very hard on Sgt Eyman, he was over there defending our freedom and this sneaks up on him. I too lost my wife 5 1/2 years ago and I know first hand what he is going through. Sgt Eyman as a rider with th PGR I try to show my support for all , but you and your family will have a special place in my heart, but I want you to know that a lot of people say if they can do anything for you to let them klnow. Well I mean it, I am 59 and have lived by the fact that I mean what I say and mean what I say. I am here for you brother, and know that god called her home for a reason we don't know what that reason is but one day whan we get ther we will find out and when you walk through the pearly gate she will be there to welcome you home.

Another heartbreaking story. I wish we had the answers to all the "why" questions, but we don't. We can only be grateful that in this case, Amber gave up her life to bring another part of her into this world. Our most sincere condolences to her husband, SGT Tom Eyman, her father Ron Long, and all their family and friends. If there was one thing Kelly and I want to express to Amber, it's that your husband is an American hero, and now even more so, a hero to Cooper Eyman, the child he will love and will always remember you by. God bless this family as they deal with this hardship. May God grant all of you peace and understanding, and may you be filled with His love.

Sgt Eyman, may God grant you and your family the strength you will need is these difficult times. Thank you, sir, for your service to our country. To Cooper, you are much too young to read this now but perhaps your father will keep these messages so that one day you will be able to read them and know that you will, forever, be in our hearts. Your mother has to go, God called her away, but she has left you in the loving arms of your daddy and the circle of a caring family. May God be with you all.
