Pandora Thompson Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Oct. 6, 2014.
Pandora loved all of nature's creatures no matter how many legs they had.
Her garden was her home with so many plants and flowers both in the ground and potted. She had found various blooming plants to keep the flowers coming thruout the year whether they be a flower or a berry. Her garden was also home to so many woodland animals and birds. She had multiple bird feeders of all shapes and sizes. She could watch them for hours on end as well as the chipmunks filling their cheeks with fallen seed.
This yard she called home also filled with dozens of windchimes waiting for a breeze. She would love to sit on the covered porch with a glass of wine and wait and watch for an approaching storm many times staying out until soaked. 
Pandora loved her family so incredibly much and would make any sacrifice to keep them happy. She always had your back even when she knew you were wrong and had a drawer full of second chances for most.
On a Friday night you knew you could find her on the covered porch listening to music and talking with the love of her life to way past dark. Sometimes covered up with a deck blanket and falling asleep until the wee hours.
She left a legacy of original poetry that will make the strongest breakdown and cry and then beg for another helping of some of the best home made casseroles known to man.
Pandora was my everything, best friend, lover, mother of our 2 beautiful children and soul mate.
We met at our 5 year high school reunion, fell madly in love and never looked back for 35 years.
We would often tell people we have been on our honeymoon for the past 33 years.
She is going to be so missed on every level by all that she touched.

Born: Jan 22, 1956 in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin

Died: Oct 06, 2014 in Atlanta, Georgis

I have known Jim for many years as an amazing printer who always produced the best quality work, on time, within budget and never a disappointment in the countless jobs ImageLink produced for my companies. I only met Pandora briefly and I found her beautiful spirit intoxicating because of the zeal she expressed for life. She seemed the kind of spirit that truly believed, "Life is for living!" I know she is expressing her "Light and Love" wherever she has transcended. Jim, many will never have the kind of love you shared with your wife for 33 years. You have been blessed. All is well.

Death Where Is Thy Sting?

Although we are eternal beings who cannot die and even though in truth there is no death, to say: `Death is nothing!´ would belittle its significance. What we earthlings perceive as death, when someone departs from this plane, is but a change and a transformation into a different state of life, which every soul has to undergo at the end of each lifetime. I believe that eventually everybody will reach the level of awareness where they can accept that this is so; we shall thus save ourselves a great deal of pain and suffering. You don´t have to take my word for it that this is true. How about trying the following for yourself?

First find a quiet space where you can be sure that no-one will disturb you for a reasonable length of time. The best and safest way of doing this is by first asking your Guardian Angel to stand by you, to guide and protect you and show you the way. Then make yourself as comfortable as you can, light a candle, look into its flame, centre yourself by listening to the sound of your breathing, and feel how you are becoming still. Only when you are good and ready start to imagine that your loved one is drawing close and wishes to communicate with you. Focus on your heart and listen to the words of comfort that come to you from there, safe in the knowledge that these are not messages from some `other world out there somewhere´ but from your own heart, where your loved presently dwells.

Having done this for a moment or two, read the words that start at the following paragraph. Don´t think about them or evaluate them, but focus your attention on the world of your feelings and listen to the responses that come from your heart; they are your inner guidance. This is what your loved one wishes to tell you:

`I have not gone from you. I have merely slipped onto different level of life and that is very much like going into another room. The world of spirit is not some place else; it is not `up there´, but an integral part of your present environment, the material world. Although I no longer dwell on that plane, I am still myself and you are you; we always shall be. We are eternal beings who cannot die and whatever we have ever been to each other, we still are. The love between us does not need to die through my departure. The great wisdom of the Divine has decreed that, on the contrary, through the experience of death human love should grow stronger and deeper - if two souls so wish.

`That´s why I ask you to call me by my old familiar names, let them be the well-known words they always were and say them without effort. Speak to me the easy way you used to do and let there be no difference in the sound of your voice. Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Enjoy the jokes that made us laugh and express your amusement the way we always did together. Play with me and smile at me. Think of me and pray for me in the manner you always did. Never doubt for a moment that I can hear you, that I feel your love, and that I shall always be with you, wherever you are.

`Life is eternal and the human spirit is immortal. In truth, there is no death and life consists of absolute and unbroken continuity. On the inner level all is one, and you always have been as much part of me as I am of you. Nothing needs to change between you and me, just because I have gone through the great transformation before you. If we both so wish, our relationship can remain the same it always was, and between you and me life can continue to be everything it has meant to us.

`My departure from the physical plane was no accident. It was meant to happen exactly when it did. For your sake - not mine - make an effort to accept this, the way I have done. And don´t believe anyone who tries to tell you that because I am out of your sight, I should also be out of your mind. That can only happen, if that is what you want. And if you still yearn for me, the death of my physical body is going to present us with many opportunities for coming closer to each other than it was ever possible before, when we both still dwelled in physicality.

`You can find me and be with me, whenever you want to, because I shall be alive in your heart, for as long as you want me to be there. In the corners of your mind I am always waiting for your call. I shall never be further away from you than a thought and you can get in touch with me whenever you want. It´s as simple as that. I shall always listen to you when you need me and when you call me, I will come to help and guide you. In spite of all that, never forget that you and I now each have different lessons to attend to - you in the material world, and I in the world of light.

`Therefore, let us also give each other the necessary space and time, so that when we do meet we can come closer to each other than we ever did before, to share precious moments - the way we used to do. All life rests safely in God´s loving hands and all is well. God and the Angels are constantly with you and with me. Nothing has changed, I forever will be I and you in all Eternity shall remain you.´

Then Almitra spoke and said: `We would ask now of death.´
And the Prophet replied:
`You can only begin to understand the secrets of death
When you know that first and foremost you are a spirit and soul,
And start to look for them in the heart of life itself.
You will then become aware that in truth there is no death,
Only transformations when each one of you,
Time and again at the end of yet another lifetime,
Returns into another state of consciousness.

Birds are messenger of the world of spirit or light,
Your true home, from where you once came
And to which you return at the end of every earthly lifetime.
You have been granted the gift of another sojourn on the earthly plane,
So that you may grow in wisdom and understanding,
And with the passing of time evolve into
A seeker of God´s wisdom and truth, a human owl.

On the Earth owls represent symbols of wisdom,
But there are two types of these birds.
In the early stages of your education in the school of earthly life
You are like one of those who can only fly and hunt at night,
Because their eyesight is very poor in daylight.
However, as you proceed on your evolutionary pathway
That in the end takes you back into
The conscious awareness of your true nature and
Your oneness with God and all life,
You become ever more evolved and gradually grow into
A likeness of the second type of owl, who can see
Equally well by day and night.

Because you are constantly learning something from your experiences,
You are growing wiser all the time, until eventually there
Comes a moment when you discover that you are beginning
To find what you are looking for as well in the darkness of Earth life,
As you do on the other side of the veil of consciousness.
In the past this separated your two worlds like a curtain as much for you,
As it does to this day for many of your siblings in the human family,
While for you it is ever more disappearing.

For as long as you remained trapped in the initial darkness
Of the dungeon of the ignorance of an earthly existence,
And remained ensnared by the belief that this state
Was your only reality and that this was all there is to life,
You could not see beyond the end of your nose
And it was impossible for you to perceive
The vast horizons of the higher and highest dimensions of life.
For as long as you stayed on that evolutionary level,
You found it hard to grasp and unveil
The mysteries of life and death, darkness and light.

To enable you to understand the spirit of death,
The Divine spark in you first had to awaken,
So that your heart could open wide unto all other aspects of life,
Until finally you grasped that in truth
Life and death are one,
The same as a river and the sea,
Into which it pours itself, are one.

Your Creator deeply and permanently imprinted
The silent knowledge of the higher and highest aspects
Of life, your true home, into the memories of your soul.
From there they continue to surface in your hopes and dreams
In a longing and yearning for the world you once came from,
With none of the trouble and strife of Earth´s harsh environment.
Such dreams lead you to your highest aspirations.
Nurture and care for them, so they can light your way home.
Like a seed that patiently waits beneath the snow
For the arrival of spring, your soul has never given up the
Hope of one day returning into that existence.
Trust these dreams, for they are the key that
In due course will unlock the gates of Eternity for you.

And what about your fear of death?
It can be likened to the trembling of a shepherd,
Who stands before his King, waiting that he should lay
His hand upon him in honour.
Is the shepherd not joyful beneath his trembling,
Although he knows that he will soon be wearing his King´s mark?
But even so, before the event he is more mindful of his trembling
Than of the gift that awaits him.
And what is ceasing to breathe the air of the Earth,
But the freeing of your soul from this planet´s restless emotional tides,
So that it may rise, expand and seek God unencumbered
By a physical body and the concerns of Earth life?

Only when you drink from the river of the silence of
The world of light, your soul truly sings.
And only when you reach the top of the spiritual mountain
The real ascent begins.
And only when your physical body has been returned
To Mother Earth, to which it belongs,
Will you once more know for sure
What your role in the great dance of life has been all along.

As one of God´s beloved children of the Earth,
You are a spark of the Divine,
An immortal being who has all Eternity to look forward to,
Filled with ever more new explorations and fresh learning,
Safely guided and protected by God and the Angels.
Whether you believe in them or not, at any given time,
They will forever be around you, with you and part of you.

I got to know Pandora thanks to Pearl Jam. She would love every new dog photo. Even though she never met them I think she loves my hounds. But more than likely she just loved animals. And when it came to humans regardless of whether she was arguing with you of have a friendly chat. She was ALWAYS old school when it came to using her manners and being a lady. Please accept our condolences from Ted and Fasmily from Australia.

Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not dead; I´m not asleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow,
I am in the softly falling snow;

I am in the gentle showers of rain;
I am in the fields of ripening grain;
I am in the morning hush;
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight;

I am in the Starshine of the night;
I am in the flowers that bloom;
I am in a quiet room;
I am in the birds that sing;
I am in each lovely thing;
Do not stand at my grave and cry -
I am not there. I did not die.

Pandora has been my best friend and soulmate for over 35 years. When we first met and lived together for 2 years, we immediately formed a once in a lifetime type of friendship and bond. Our friends called us the "Buzztwins" and my email address today still reflects the nickname. She wore my dress to the 5 year class reunion where she met the love of her life, JB, and I was lucky to be chosen as her Maid of Honor when they were married. Even though we both moved to other parts of the U.S., we never lost our special bond. I will miss her terribly as well as our weekly emails to each other. Losing her leaves a void in my heart, and she will continue to be my Best Friend Forever as no one could ever take her place in my heart. Much love and strength to JB, Annie, and FJ as they move forward without her. I know she will shine light on all of us from above as she watches over us.
Love, Buzztwin Carol

Dear Thompson family, I am sorry for the loss of your loved one. Do you think that there is any hope for the dead? Millions have been comforted by the promises found in the Bible. For example, Daniel 12:2 teaches that "many of those asleep in the dust of the earth will wake up." And 1Corinthians 15:26 assures us that "the last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing." Yes there is hope! If you would like to read more about the good news that the Bible contains, please visit jw.org Take care

To The Ones I Love And Who Love Me:

`When I am gone, release me, let me go.
You and I, we both have many things to see and do.
Do not tie yourself to me in tears.
I gave to you my love and you can only guess
How much you gave to me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you have shown,
But, for now it´s time for me to travel on - alone.

So, grieve a while, if grieve you must.
But not for me, only for yourself and
For the hole my passing has left in your life.
Then let your grief be comforted by trust,
And remember that it is only for a while that part we must.
Bless the memories within your heart,
And know that no love is ever lost.
Life is eternal - it goes on and on,
Not just for you and for me, but for us all.

You and I can now come closer than we have ever been;
I shall never be further away from you than a thought.
If you need me, call and I´ll be near.
Although you can neither see nor touch me,
Know that I am there.
And when you listen inside your own heart,
You are sure to feel my love too, soft and clear.

And then, one fine day -
When you must come this way -
Alone - I shall be there to greet you,
With a smile I shall welcome you home.´

Going home, going home - we´re all going home.
Quiet like, some still day - we´re all going home.

It´s not far, just close by, through an open door.
Work all done, care laid by - fear and hurt no more.

Mother´s there, expecting us - Father´s waiting too.
Angel folks are gathered with guides and friends we know -
Guides and friends we know.

Morning Star lights the way - Earth-bound dreams all done.
Shadows gone - break of day - real life´s just begun.
There´s no break, there´s no end - just a moving on.
Wide awake, with a smile - going on and on.

Going home, going home - we´re all going home.
It´s not far, just close by - through an open door.
Going home, going home, I´m just going home.

Though I have gone before you,
I did not do so alone and neither will you,
When your time for saying goodbye to the Earth plane has come.
God and the Angels are forever with us,
Keeping you and me safe.
No matter where we may ever find ourselves,
We shall always rest securely in God´s loving hands.

I am so sorry for your family's loss, JB. We at Writing Forums were fortunate to have her as a part of our family, too. She was a kind and gentle spirit, able to see the good in everyone, no matter how rough they appeared on the outside. She inspired and brought out the best in those she interacted with on our Forum. That kind of rare jewel shines wherever she goes. We will miss her.

JB as a fellow business owner who only knew your wife through the WF we shared many common experiences as small business owners, on line. She spoke so highly of your moral and work ethic, it was no secret of her passion for you and her respect. She set the bar high for many concerning what is acceptable and expected of us, in our relationships with others. She has left a void here in our community and I am thankful that you shared her with us.

My deepest sympathy to the family of Pandora Thompson. May you find comfort in knowing our Heavenly Father holds out the hope of the resurrection for our dead loved ones. His son, Jesus, said "all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out". John 5:28,29. Our loved ones are in God's memory and one day he will resurrect them to a paradise earth. Psalms 37:9,10,11,29. Job 15:13-15 says he has a yearning to do so. Isn't that comforting to know? Revelation 21:3,4 says that one day on this earth, death will be no more.
