Pam, when you are the mother of sons you don't get to choose the new daughters that come into your life - and I was blessed that you were the young woman that became a daughter to me. A sweet, caring person with a zest for life and fun, and who never gave up a positive attitude and perserverance in the face of problems. Your loss is devastating and there's a hole in my heart that will never be filled - I am going to miss your giggles, our chats, fighting with our hair together...and the chance to get to see the mother that you would have become. Your Christmas gift will remain unopened forever now. May you find the peace you deserve, and may your loved ones memories comfort them and may they rejoice in the young man you left for them - who's face mirrors yours so clearly. Bless you and all of them. Love, Patty
