Troy and Stephane, I cannot even begin to understand any of this or how heart wrenching this loss is for you:( Troy we have been friends for years and watched you and Stephane raise your Daughter thru the years. She was such a Beautiful Smart little girl, who turned into a Beautiful Talented Young Woman. I wish there was something, anything, I could say or do to help ease your Pain.

We are so very sorry for this senseless, selfish and tragic loss. Our prayers are with all of Amber’s family but especially Troy and Stephane. When I even try to imagine what your going through I’m at such a loss for words. I pray that you all cling to your special memories you have in your hearts. The pictures of Amber and her artwork are awesome. She was a very talented young lady and this world is going to miss out on all of Amber’s special works.

Troy and Stephanie, I can only offer you words of Comfort and Prayers for Peace. You are in my thoughts. Prayers uplifted for you in this time of sorrow. May your Sweet and Dear Amber rest in the loving arms of Our Lord. ~ Kathy Raque
I remember little Amber coming over to our house and playing with Amanda. I was so saddened by this senseless act of violence. She will truly be missed by all who knew and loved her.
I did not know Amber, but I am currently a student at PhilaU. She was a senior when I was a freshman. Even several years after her graduation it is obvious to me that she touched many lives while she was here! Please know, from a stranger, that it is clear how much she was appreciated and will truly be missed.
Please accept my prayers and thoughts to your family at this time. When my daughter (Lyneah) called me at work, she was heartbroken. She shared many wonderful memories of growing up with Amber at school and daycare/YMCA . May God Bless you and give you strength. Rest in Peace Amber..
I remember seeing Amber often. I never knew her by name until news broke, but by I knew her from seeing her a lot around campus. Everytime I look at her picture my heart aches. She was so sweet, she always smiled at me when we exchanged paths. She must have worked on campus because I remember seeing a lot of her through the years. We where in the same class, same graduating ceremony. She knew my friends. I only wish we would have gotten more chance to interact, she sounds like such a wonderful person. My heart is with all of those who love her, including all of us at Philadelphia University. Amber, you are now among your own, and can now watch over us and guide us towards a meaningful legacy we can carry for you. Down with Violence and Up with Love!!! Evil can never defeat the power of Love.
Troy and Stephanie: We are so sorry for the loss of Amber. We know how much she has meant to you both and she will be missed by all.

As a mother I pray God gives you the strength to get through this. Do not let how she died define her life. Rememeber the good that was. Know many people you never met have you in their thoughts and prayers. She watchs over us now.
My prayers, sympathies and condolences go out to Amber Long’s family. She looked like a very sweet girl with a glowing personality and a smile to light up a room. I didn’t know Amber but she was a Philadelphia University Alumni, this made her family. She’s in the Kingdom now; may she rest in peace.
Dear Stephanie,
I’m so sorry for the tragic loss of your beloved daughter. My two children live in Philly and I was there that day to see them. We go to Northern Liberty sometimes for brunch. My children love Philly the way you said your daughter did. We weren’t in Northern Liberty that day. We stayed in S. Philly. I pray they find the people responsible for the senseless, cowardly crime they committed. May God give you the strength and courage to get through this. May Amber rest in peace and fly among the angels.
My deepest sympathy goes out to the Long family in these dark hours. May you be given the strength and fortitude to press on and take comfort in the love and prayers that surrounds you during your grief. It is my fervent hope that those responsible for this needless violence be brought to swift and certain justice. Tempus fugit – memento mori.
In time may you find peace. I pray that they arrest,prosecute, and make these people think about what a beautiful person they took from this world. Breaks my heart that this violence over material item could cost so much loss..im sorry again for your loss..jason.
Im so sorry for the loss of this beautiful young lady. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.
