Dear Pamela, I was soo excited to FINALLY get to meet you in person last week! We had been counting down the days we'd get to meet up in Cozumel, to talk and have a true "get-away" from it all! I got to see you smile and laugh. Hear your stories of life, of the love you had for Marlon, of battles fought and of battles still being fought. "We're going to beat this", you would tell me, whenever the "c" word was brought up. I was so motivated by you, I knew we could do it! You spoke about your love of diving, showed me beautiful pictures of the wonderful world under the ocean! I looked forward to learning to dive, and wanted to do so with you one day! I looked forward to seeing you more often. I'm so thankful Mike and I were able to spend such a wonderful, memorable trip with you and Marlon! Time is a gift, I just wish I could've had more with you! I have lost a dear friend, and the world has lost a wonderful, beautiful person! I hope you knew how much I loved you and continue to do so! I am so sorrowful. Thank you for your friendship and love, I will miss you greatly! I'm so sorry for your loss Marlon, if there is anything at all PLEASE don't hesitate, me and Mike are always here for you! With great sincerity and love,
