A very special person to us went to be with the Lord on September 14th. Pam was not only my dearest friend's mom, but also my mom's dearest friend. Sarah and I have always been more like sisters than friends and Pam has a very special place in my heart. She was a wonderful mother, a faithful friend to my mom, an encouragement in my life, and overall a woman who loved and trusted the Lord. I have found comfort in knowing that Pam is rejoicing with her Savior now and we will see her again.

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."- John 3:16

A very happy day. Looking back on this day I remember a certain expression on Pam's face. I saw throughout that day a look that is nothing short of pure joy... the look that only a mother has for her daughter.. so proud of Sarah and the beautiful person she is, so full of love for her little girl.

Florida trip 1987...Look at our beautiful moms! I remember a lot of laughs on this trip. These are cherished memories of wonderful times together.

Pam always took the time to show that she cared about us. Genuine friends like Pam are such a treasure. I want Ava to know about this kind of friendship and I will definately tell her about Pam when she gets older.

I am so thankful for the twenty-four years I've had with Sarah. She is to me what Pam was to my mom, a true gift in this life. She has shown such faith in the Lord during these past few weeks. I have so much respect for the person that she is. I love you dearly Sarah.

"God is love. This is how God showed his love among us; He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins." - 1 John 4:9-10
