Dear Pam:

My heart aches with the loss of you and I am comforted by the though that you are no longer suffering or in pain. You are where you belong in heaven with grandpa looking down on all of us smiling I know that. When I think of you I will remember the good times spent together, you telling me stories when I was little and playing with me as a little girl. I will love you always and I know that I will see you again! Tell my grandpa that I love him and that I miss him. I know that you will be by my side watching over me! I will miss you every day! Heaven is lucky to have you! Love Tee, Therese Anne
