I´ve searched for you for years and today I plugged in your name and here we are. I´ve loved you since we were in elementary school. You were my best friend. I remember our weekends including the New Year my hair caught on fire. Lol. The last time I saw you was across the field at our football game in HS and it was the highlight of my year. I love you Amber and wish so much we never separated but I am so thankful for our time together. To the Pedigo family I love you and have you in my prayers.

I truly thank God that he allowed you to teach me. You were the 1st one to start a Zoom class with me in 2020 to help me with Math. You taught my grandmother and I all about Zoom. I am forever grateful. Praying peace and blessings to your family.

I will always remember Miss Pedigo as a warm carrying helpful person. She will be greatly missed. I'm glad she is whole again in Heaven. I'll see her again when the roll is called up yonder.

One of the sweetest, kindest, funniest people I’ve ever worked with - God Bless Amber! I first met her when we worked at WAHS and then when I landed at Military Magnet. I have so many stories. Amber was an inspiration; she never once drew attention to her situation - she never complained. One day - there I was in my 40s - in the nurse’s office - and I was having a meltdown because of something in my eye. She said “I can help, just don’t move” and I asked how and she said “When I run over your foot, you’ll forget about your eye” She brought humor when it was needed most. I always told her I was going to write her a citation for speeding down the halls in her electric wheelchair. Much laughs. Heaven has gained a very special lady and she’s now healed! God Bless her mom and family

Miss pedigo you will be missed so much in this world. You were Camren’s biggest advocate and helped him to be able to graduate on time. Thank you so much for all you did for us. Prayers go out to all who knew you and your family. Will say extra prayers at mass on Saturday. Love and miss you.

Never in a thousand of years would I think I would come in contact and love a lot of teachers at MMA; You taught me that nothing can stop me from achieving my goals in life, You we’re always willing to lend that helping hand. You Ms.Pedigo gave courage in many circumstances and it shows. You didn’t let anything defeat you! I applaud you soo much. Your smile everyday was so beautiful never did I ever see you without one! You made sure we as students were always okay. Although you didn’t teach me in a classroom; You monitored in classes I attended and whenever I needed that TEACHER assistance you gave it without questions asked. I appreciate your life and all that you have done for me THANK YOU!!
Love You Soo Much

Amber was truly an inspiration to our graduating class at St. Andrew’s. She was a wonderful friend and a blessing to many people. Amber made me laugh, was always willing to listen & made you feel like part of her family. Mary & Aaron you will have my prayers.
