Pam,
It's been a little over a year now since you've been gone, but it feels like it was only yesterday that you left this world! I can honestly say that I learn the most valuable lesson in life from that horrible day. I learned that you can't take for granted what you have because you never know when it will be gone! I never realized how much I learned from you and how lucky I was to have such a stubborn and sarcastic person in my life. Anytime we have a get together it's just not the same without you! I find myself constantly looking at the door waiting for you to show up with a 6 pack and a new joke to tell everyone! I'm not sure that it's hit me yet that you really aren't with us! Maybe it's because I don't want to or maybe I've just become numb to the whole thing! Rex passed on the 18th, which I'm sure you know! We all joked that the two of you are probably sitting up there having a drink and arguing about how he stole your thunder! Hehe. At least now I know that you aren't alone! That was my biggest regret about how the whole thing, that you were alone when it all happened! I try not think about how scared you must have been because it only makes me hurt worse! I know that everything happened for a reason and that you are in a better place, but It doesn't make it easier to deal with! I am so glad that you got to be there for the big milestones in my life, graduation and my 18th birthday, and for the ones that you won't physically be with us I know you will be there in spirit!! I only hope that you know how much you are missed and how much you meant to everyone! I didn't write a letter when everyone else did because I wasn't sure what to say and for some reason today I felt like it was the right time to do it!! I just want you to know that I love you and that there isn't day that goes by that I don't think about you! I know that someday we will see each other again and I can't wait for that day to come!!

Dearest Pam, My friend is with me in my heart. My friend is in my mind. My friend is with me in memories I treasure. I will still have your smile ,your dreams for your life and always your love of friendship. There will be a forever place in my heart, and even though you had to say good-bye, the sadness of parting and the special love of fond memories and close friendship we shared. I will lift mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. The Lord is my keeper; the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil; He shall preserve thy soul. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore. God Bless you my friend, all my love. Mrs. Tabatha Lynn Jordan(a.k.a Wolfe)

Pamela Anne Williams,
You impacted my life in ways you never knew. Oh, how I wish you were still here so that I could tell you how much you enriched my life. I wish that you and I hadn’t lost contact so many years ago. I wish we had been able to continue where we left off on our last conversation --- I was telling you about my new life here in New England, that I had met someone special, and that I finally felt comfortable in my skin as a gay man. You felt safe sharing with me your feelings towards women, and how you felt both excited and scared at the same time. You and I really understood each other in this unique and special way. We always understood each other, and we had a special bond that, to describe merely as a “friendship”, would have been insulting. You were my sister, and I was your brother.
I think we both knew each other’s secret many, many years before we even realized it on our own. We just didn’t see the signs. I remember we used to sit in your room late at night talking, listening to The Doors. I pretended to like their music, but I really only liked a few songs...you just never knew. Mostly, I loved just being with you and hearing you talk about Jim Morrison, what each of his songs meant, how cool it was that he was from Melbourne, FL and that he had a girlfriend named Pamela, how he died and was buried in Paris. See, I was listening. And I can still hear you repeating, “I am the lizard king, I can do anything!” I remember we used to look at this book you had that was filled with pictures and bios of celebrities from the 20’s 30’s and 40’s. I was totally taken with and eventually shared your appreciation and love for Marilyn Monroe, Veronica Lake, Vivien Leigh, Bette Davis, Dorothy Lamour, Jane Mansfield, et al. I can’t believe I never saw the obvious pattern there. And of course, there I was ogling at Tyrone Power and Cary Grant. Who knew?
Every time I hear The Moody Blues song, “Knights in White Satin”, I think of you. My favorite verse is:
“Gazing at people, some hand in hand
Just what I'm going through, they can't understand
Some try to tell me, thoughts they cannot defend
Just what you want to be you will be in the end
And I love you, yes I love you
Oh, how I love you, oh, how I love you”
You were exactly who you were supposed to be in the end: FREE, happy, and very much loved. That brings me peace. But I so wish that I had found you again. I wrote you a letter seven years ago. I located seven different addresses that I thought might have been yours, and I sent a copy of the letter to each address. But just incase the recipient wasn’t you, I included a note asking whoever received it to pass it along to you if they knew where to find you, or to please write me back with your address…and I even included a stamped return envelope.
I don’t think the letter ever got to you. I wish it had. I wouldn’t have let you get away from me again had I found you. And had I found you, Pam, we would have continued our conversation, and we would have shared many more wonderful stories again. We would have laughed, cried, and laughed some more. And when that sad and difficult time came to bid you goodnight, I would have been there by your side to comfort you, to hold your hand and kiss your face, to tell you how much I love you, and to thank you for being such a source of light in my life.
I have beautiful memories of you that will stay with me for the rest of my life. You’re still here in all of our hearts and souls. Your laughter still resounds, your smile still lights the sky.
I miss you, Pama-Lama-Ding-Dong. And I love you more than you ever knew.

Hi you,
It's been a year now. I couldn't bring myself to write that particular day. I miss you Pam. I miss you so much. I truly don't know what to do without you. As I'm sure you know, Rex passed away a year and a day after you. I truly hope you are both up there complaining about who stold your thunder. God, please keep you both safe and warm and together. I think Mom truly needs both of you right now. I truly can't stand the fact that you both left me. Please look over me and mom right now. We really need it. I miss you both so very much. Always be with me.
I love you, Your little sister,
Lynne

Dear Pam,
Well, It's been a year,and I miss you more than words can say,not a single day goes by that I don't think of you.
It has lately come to me, that I will never have a completely happy time again.Every good thing that happens is shadowed by the fact that you will never be here to share it with, and everything seems so drab now without you here.
I still really enjoy going to places that you loved, and I feel close to you, but there is a sadness now that doesn't go away.
You touched my life in so many ways that I never really thought about when you were here, and now that you are gone, It's too late to tell you how special you were, and are to me. I hope you knew.

For Pam
We didn't know that morning,
that God had called your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
in death we feel the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
but you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
that day God called you home.
You left us happy memories,
your love will be our guide,
and tho we cannot see you,
you are always at out side.
Our family chain has broken,
and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
our chain will link again.

Dear Pam,
So much has happened since you've been gone. I can't tell you how many times I've picked up the phone to call you. I never realized how much I depended on you, to help me sort things out, or just to get your advice. I don't think people truly know how much others have an impact on their lives until they're gone. I wish every day that I would just wake up and you would still be here with me. I miss you so very much. Nothing I can say will ever truly convey how I feel. I wish every day, that I would have told you how much you mean to me, and how much you were apart of my daily life. People always say, you don't know how much you have until it's gone. Unfortunately, I know what that means now. I just hope that wherever you are, you know, we all truly loved, cared and appreciated the person you were and will always be, in our hearts and memories.
Your Little Sister Forever,
Lynne

I had the privilege of knowing Pam, we met in the 7th grade. She and I became good friends. We would always loose touch for a while , but we always seem to find each other again and again. Unfortunely, I had to find out that she has left us , but I know I have all the crazy memories of all the things we did together when we were growing up. Pam will be greatly missed , she may have been tough at times , but she had a heart of gold. I will always remember her for who she was , she was one of my best friends . Just like a one wing dove.

For many years we've shared our lives
One roof we once lived under
sometimes we laughed, sometimes we cried
Through winter storms and thunder
The younger years have faded fast
We've gone our separate ways
But through all time our friendship lasts
Our bond will always remain
As summer brings the happy times
The autumn wind will whisper
A closer friend I'd never find
Than the one I call my sister
I miss your loud, wonderful, contagious laugh.
Love, Lynne

Pam,
today is the day before my birthday and I've been thinking about you alot these past couple of days. Of course we had a BBQ. The family was there except for you. I don't think they will ever be the same. No one there to make everybody laugh. I think thats the part mom has the most trouble with. Not listening to your jokes, or hearing about the latest escapades at work. I miss you more than words can say. I think about you at least 100 times a day it seems like. I think God every day that I got to see you on Saturday. I'm so glad that I got to call you my sister for 31 years. I just wish that it was 31 more. I'm sorry that I didn't tell you more how much I love you and that you were the best big sister ever. I know that my love will reach you in heaven, and if you were here you'd be drinking a beer with me. So I'll have one for you. I LOVE YOU with all my heart. I'll see you soon.
Love, Cathy
P.S.
Bubbalicious (Kyle),Hunter and Audrey miss and love you to.
