My prayers and thoughts are with you Pam and the Chamber family during your time of bereavement. Van was a very good friend during our growing up, and I know that he will be missed. But always remember that Van left a legacy of humor, fun and beautiful memories that will last forever. When you are at your weakest moment of grief, just look back at the memories he left, and that will console your heart and sole. May the peace and joy of the Creator always be with you.

To: Pam & Family
God is ever near to those
Who have a broken heart,
Through the loss of someone dear
That tears your world apart.
It seems so overwhelming
The grief too much to bear;
Just remember God is with you
He loves you and He cares.
