Pam,
It's hard to believe that it's coming up on 4 yrs already that you've gone on. I often think of you and find myself saying I need to talk to you. You, Mom and Dad are missed so much. I am not glad that you are gone, but I am glad that you are no longer in pain and that you are resting peacefully. I love you always and forever. Your Sister Michele

I remembered her gentle words as she encouraged me last year during this time. She told me she would stick in there with me as long as I needed her and she did. She saw me through better times. Ms. Pam, I know you are gone, resting in the arms of the Lord. Peace be with you until we speak again. Thank-you.

Dear Garrett, Carolyn, Loretta, and Holmes family,
Please accept my most deepest heartfelt sympathy. Pamela was a loving mother (Garrett, you were the apple of her eye), sister, and friend. For as long as I have known her, I never once saw Pam without a smile. I used to tease her about her aristocratic walk, and I would tell her that she always had a pep in her step and knew where she was going with great confidence! Pam was very consoling and compassionate.
I regret that I was unable to attend her going home celebration, however, I am recovering from an illness. If I had been there, I would've proudly gone to the front of the church and spoke about Pam's wonderful character.
Family, rest and be assured that Pam has transitioned to her heavenly home and we pray will forever rest in peace.
Peace of the Lord be with each of you!
