The void that is left in our family can never be replaced. Pam was so full of light and love and to be in her presence you could feel her warmth. I knew I was lucky to have Pam as a mother-in-law and my children were lucky to have her as a grandmother. She showered them with love and affection. When Claire was born Pam came and stayed with us to be with “her” grand-baby girl. I’m devastated the kids won’t get to have her in their lives any longer. Gone far too soon. We will always carry her memory with us because Pam holds a special place in our hearts. I pray that Pam is peacefully resting, free from pain and fear, and watching over us all until we meet again. 

I don’t even know where to begin Pam and I helped each other so much during difficult times. We also had so much fun together. We have laughed and cried together. Amazing friend, coworker, therapist and so much more!! You are so missed!!! 

I met Pam when she came to work at Rabun County High School in Tiger, Georgia.  She was such a pleasure to work with. We had a lot of fun times and good laughs. The one thing that sticks out in my mind about her, was her contagious laugh. If something funny happened at work. She would laugh so hard, then we would all get tickled at her. She would laugh until she cried. It was a blessing to have known her. She made everyday a little brighter and she will surely be missed.  She was a colleague, but I considered her my friend. 

Words cannot express how grateful I am to have shared the memories, experiences, and love that we did. You will always be my warm, hilarious, quirky, witty, smart mother and best friend. I feel you around me every day and I see all the signs you send <3

To the moon and back. I will love you beyond time. I can't wait to see you again.

A poem for my sweet momma; Part 2

She's the salty air at the beach, the sweet smell in the blue mountains high.
She's the whisper from snow falling and the stars shooting by.
She's the mix of cool and warm breezes that tenderly rustles the trees and plants.
She's the calm before and after storms that electrifies and enchants.

She's the puttering of the rain and the shimmer of dew on rose petals.
She's the fluidity and flow of the river that never settles.
She's the mirrors on still lakes, the powerful tides of the seas.
She's a life-giving source, the purest of nature's decrees.

She's the warmth from the sun that you feel on your skin.
She's the light dancing from the moon, a spark with no end.
She's the crackle and flicker when air and ember connects.
She's the gradient colors of the fiery rises and sets.

She's the soft touch of the grass that brings you the feeling of home.
She's the mountains, tall and grand, her strength truly shown.
She's the delicate yet tenacious roots that keep things alive and grounded.
She's the deserts, plains, forests, and coasts that keep Earth well-rounded.

If you need help, ask, and she'll say to do what is right
For she is the essence of nature and light.
She's all around, in every living thing.
A part of nature's earthen sound, a song she does sing.

Peculiar occurrences, they can't be explained-
Through feelings and things, she sends messages, aimed.
Those who used to say signs are just curious lore
Now say there's no coincidence, they're something more.

A force to be reckoned with, gentle and strong
the pulse of the earth, a rhythm more than lifelong.
A kindling in the darkness across time and space,
Let us remember her life, her love, and her warm embrace.

A poem for my sweet momma; Part 1

Dear friends, it is with broken hearts that we share,
The news of a cherished soul no longer physically there.
Even though my sweet momma has left us to rest,
We were witness to her love, laughter, and warmth; Forever we're blessed.

She lived a life filled with pureness year after year,
Touching the hearts of everyone she was near.
Her kindness and wisdom will always remain,
A shining example of love's endless maintain.

Her laughter will echo in memories we hold.
Her love will live on in the stories that are told.
The strong spirit of her will stay,
Guiding us always through night and day.

For she is not gone, she's now all around,
When you're missing her or lost, just look and she's to be found.
Her spirit touches every part of this world we touch, taste, hear, smell, and see,
In air, water, fire, and earth- forever present, eternally.

I’m so sorry for your family’s loss of a beautiful person. I have found memories of her growing up. Hanging out at the bus stop, having classes together and she was my Maid of Honor at my Wedding back on June 16, 1979.  Time sure does fly by the older we get.  Prayers for you and your family as you heal from your loss. God Bless

Pam was a wonderful stepmom and grandmother to my children, Landon and Claire. One great memory I have was a family trip out west visiting Salt Lake City, Yellowstone, and Colorado. I know we wanted to do more trips as a family but Pam’s journey was cut too short. We will continue these trips with my dad and family to honor Pam. You will definitely be missed but never forgotten. 

Dear Chuck and family, 
There are no words that will help you through your grief and loss.  I am still in shock.  Pam was the sweetest! So down to earth and genuine.  She is truly missed.

Rest in Paridise sweet Pam.
That smile of yours I will forever hold in my heart ❤️ 

I only worked with Pam for a year at Frangus Elementary, but she kept it funny and real! I appreciated that so much. I know the place she filled will be a gaping hole, but try and be the things you loved the most about her. I lost my oldest son only 2 years ago, and I am learning that walking through this journey of grief is a marathon and not a sprint. Move forward when you can, sit and rest when you can’t, and know that there is always hope up ahead. 

I was an old old friend way back when they lived behind my house in Orlando, Florida.
Pam and I were running buddies.  
When our family moved, we lost connect. 
I was so happy to find her and Toni on Facebook. I wanted to get to travel to see her.  
Surprised me, but now she can visit me in spirit.  
Miss you, and we will see each soon. 
Angel in heaven now.  ❤️ 💕 ❤️

I am so glad I was able to re-connect with Pam and her siblings the past year. I didn't know Pam as an adult, or even a teenager. I knew Pam when we were kids in the mid to late 1960s. We were neighbors. What I remember about Pam was, she was a sweetheart. She was funny and a lot of fun to be around. From what I seen over the past year that we re-connected with her and her family, she took those loving traits with her into adulthood. She was a pleasure to know and be around then, and from what I see, she was a pleasure to know and be around her whole life.  God Speed Pam. I know from the Pam I knew that you loved, and were loved, and will be deeply missed by all that knew you. To those left behind, feel comfort in the spirit of Pam, and who she was, and is now as she sits at the feet of Christ. 

I miss you everyday.  So sad that you are gone but no more pain. We had a wonderful life together and I will cherish our memories forever.  You will alway be in my heart cause you are my heart. Until we meet again.
I love you Honey xoxo mauh
