    So sorry to hear of this horrifically tragic news. Amber was a strong woman that didn’t take BS from anyone. You could take her or leave her, it made no difference to her. My heart breaks for Brandon and the kids. I’m so sorry for your loss.

    A beautiful young woman, taken horribly much too soon. May God bless her soul and grant her family strength through this time of sorrow.
    Rest in Peace Ms. Wiggins.
