I'm so sorry to learn of Amelia's passing. I found out today only minutes after messaging her an untasteful joke. Forgive me if you find that message, but we both loved a good laugh no matter what. I met Amelia in 10th grade chemistry class and we remained friends to this day. Amelia went from helping me learn chemistry to emotionally supporting me during life challenges like when my father passed last year. Over the years, I learned Amelia and I were good partiers, super intelligent, big on helping others, loved our family to pieces, and my mom's "Lynne Cabell" cooking. The attached photo is us getting caught by one of my siblings eating ice cream at my parents' Brentwood home while on military leave in 1990. She gave me her Farmingdale Univ. sweatshirt and I got us the ice cream. We were wrong because we had just finished off an entire Entenmanns chocolate cake as she was diabetic and I as Mr. Truesdale would call me, "fluffy". In this photo, I recall us celebrating and being excited for our futures, careers, friends, and freedom. I settled at Ft. Jackson, SC in 2010 and was so looking forward to her moving out here to Kershaw County with her dogs and cat after she'd retire. I'm besides myself about losing Amelia because we just were reflecting and laughing about our life as accomplished mid-aged women living as best we could in an "unorthodox society", because we're the "sane" ones.
Amelia loves Jesus! So at least there is comfort knowing she is in Abraham's bosom with her mom, Barbara and my dad in Heaven. God bless Amelia. May Amelia's father, Ebony and her family and friends be comforted with God's love and peace that passes all understanding. I'm in shock, hurt and don't know what else to say. Love, Cori Cabell
