Pam 

I first new her as a teacher at Friendship Baptist School. She was an excellent teacher, empathetic and compassionate to all. Pam cared for my children after school in the 1980's with tender care, helping them with homework.  Most important she was a Christian Mother, serving her family, church and the community.

Ricky, Caleb and all the family, 

It is with great sadness that we extend our heartfelt sympathy to you.  We have so many fond memories when you were attending Bethany Hills - from Pam singing in the choir (often next to Bev) and Bev being so blessed by Pam's beautiful voice, to Pam's wonderful solo's that would bring chills to those who heard, to the many cook-outs or Christmas dinners held at your house, to riding with you on our first trip ever to The Wilds, and always enjoying sweet fellowship and laughter together.  Pam will truly be missed by all who knew her, but we know that she is rejoicing and singing in Heaven with her Lord and Savior.  

May you find comfort and strength in the arms of God.  You are in our prayers.

It is with great sorrow and tears that I send this message of peace to the Layton and Jones families, and to all of Pam's friends, students and anyone who knew what a blessing she truly was to everyone that had the opportunity to experience a moment or a lifetime with her.
Pam and I went to Tecumseh Elementary and Xenia High School together.  We were in the First Methodist Church and Xenia High School choirs together.  We went to Tar Hollow church camp together.  We went through Brownines and Girl Scouts together.  Fortunately, we reconnected a few years ago and it was just like there were no years in between.
Pam never lost her sense of humor, nor her smile, nor her sweet composure.  We kept in touch by email and would send prayers back and forth to eachother.  I really thought she would beat the enemy, but God had another plan.  We can't understand that right now, but we will when we meet again in Heaven to share those memories again and to make new ones.
I love you, my friend,

My heart goes out to you all! I remember Pam so well from our time teaching together at St. TImothy's.  She was the loveliest and most loving of anyone I ever knew! Hugs and heartfelt good wishes to you!
Peggy Sargent

I remember her as a joyful Christian:
the kind of Christian who walks away with songs of  praises in her lips as to tell 
you the sermon is over but the praises continue. The lips thus are an open-door to
a heart "singing with grace to the Lord" 
 
I remember her as a gracious Christian: 
the kind of Christian who sings hymns that touch the heart  as to instill in you the pure words of God.  Her voice thus conveys the
 "teaching and admonishing in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs" those of us in the congregation.

I'll remember a sister in Christ 
the kind of believer in whom "the word of Christ dwell richly in all wisdom"
 
And now that she steps into glory, as a golden expression of  Colossians 3:16 
     " Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your  hearts to the Lord." 
 
How marvelous is our God to let us see His words through the life of His child!  May the Lord richly bless her loved ones!

Ricky,

I am so sorry to hear about your wife. I was out of town and just got back and found out. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. If you need anything, please let me know as I am just around the corner from you.

I never knew Pamela. But I open up the newspaper this morning. It touch my heart when I read the precious name of Jesus. As I read on I felt so much love. You see I'm a Jesus believer and saved by his grace. I'm so sorry for your loss. I had to find the song his eyes are on the sparrow when I got done reading .your loved one has blessed someone even after her death. My God bless and keep you.Brenda. Stacy

I'm not sure if this is the Ricky Layton that my parents and I met years ago at the Shoe Show in Holly Park but if it is I want to send my deepest condolences to you and your family.  I personally know the pain you are experiencing because my husband and I lost our 21 year old son in May of this year. With God's help and strength is the only way we can make it through such a loss as yours and ours. I pray that God will truly bless you in the days ahead.

Although we have never met, we are one of
your Foxcroft neighbors, and we are so
sorry for your loss.   Pam sounds like an
absolutely wonderful lady, and we know
she will be greatly missed by everyone
who knew and loved her.

To the family of Pam Layton. May God give you strength, and be by your side during this sad time. Pam and I went to school together in Xenia. This is very sad to hear. My condolences  to all of you.

Layton and Jones Families: Pam will be missed! I am a former classmate from her elementary days through high school and she always held a special place in my heart. I know she is with the angels and smiling on all of us. God Bless you and know that she is at peace.

We are a phone call a way if you need ANYTHING!!

Pam was a thoroughly wonderful human being.  It has been almost four decades since our high school days, but I still remember her constant kindness, her joyful heart, and the delight of being, even for a short time very long ago, her friend.  I hope and believe she abides in the arms of a loving God.  

All my sincerest condolences to the Layton family.

Our family will always remember Mrs. Layton and the impact she had on our children at Friendship Christian School. She was called to teach, and she was such a wonderful example for the children.  Her love of the Lord, beautiful voice, and graceful spirit will never be forgotten.

 I knew you from Six Forks Baptist Church many years ago.Pam was a wonderful person! I'm so sorry for your loss. Will keep you and your family in our prayers. 
            
Kim (Terry)Gurganus

Pam was a thoroughly wonderful human being.  Even now

I was a classmate of Pam's, I can remember her smile just like it was yesterday. May your family feel comfort  in the memories and laughter that you shared....

Ricky and Caleb:
I remember you all from Bethany Hills back in the mid to late 90's. So sorry for your loss. Pam was a sweet, lovely and talented person. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Jeff,Abby, Sophie, Mimi  Sheard.
We wish we could be there to celebrate the life of Pam. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Pam was great lady, a wonderful mother and loving wife to Ricky. Everyone she ever met, had to love her. She was just that kind of person. She will be sorely missed. We Love You Pam.

David and Debby Telford

Ricky, you have my heartfelt sympathy! You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers!

My deepest condolences to the Layton and to the Jones families. I was so very saddened to learn on Saturday that Pam had passed away. We were classmates at Xenia High School. When I think of Pam today, those high school days seem like only yesterday. I can still hear her laugh down the school hallway and see her smile. She was always such a joy to be around.

Dear Rick,
Haven't seen or heard from you in awhile but saw Pam's obituary in the paper today and am very sorry for your loss. Will be thinking of you and your son.
Sincerest regards,
John Lawrance

Ricky, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Thoughts and prayers with the family during this time. What a wonderful person who was a shining star here and will now be looking over us all. Debbie(Diamond)Kriss

I am sure that Jesus himself was there to welcome Mrs. Layton home.  She was a true model of God's grace.  My girls knew her only a short year and yet her impact on them will echo through the years to come.  Thank you for sharing her with all of us at Friendship Christian.  She will never be forgotten.

We will always remember Pam for her kind and loving outlook for all around her.  She's a neice anyone would be proud of.  All our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this sad time.  Ron & Becky Beason

Ricky, words can not explain how much Pam will be missed in our Foxcroft Community.  Her caring and sweet spirit will live on forever.  Pam's lovely smile and soul filled eyes were a joy to behold!  We are here for you and your family.  Sincerely yours,
Elwood and Diane Becton

Ricky, my wife and I are remembering you and your family in our prayers as you mourn the passing of Pam. God is faithful in His promises. Therefore, you can claim His comfort and peace.

I was privileged to be a part of Pam's life during her Xenia/Wilmington days.... and she remained as family ever since.  Although we saw each other infrequently, we could always pick up as if no time had passed.  "Pammie Faye's" distinctive laugh, her vivacious spirit, and her joy of life made every place she was so much better!  The time she spent with Wayne and me rehearsing and performing are times I will always cherish; we had more fun than should be allowed!  All of us here in Wilmington who shared music and the stage with her have lost one of the bright lights in our lives.
  My wife Becky, my mother Lois (who held Pam as a second daughter), and I send our most sincere sympathies to the Jones and Layton families.  You shared with us a most extraordinary person.  Love to you all........

We will miss Pam for the many years we have known her as a wonderful neighbor and friend. She will be remembered by us as always cheerful, good-hearted and kind. Pam, may you rest in peace.  Our prayers are extended to Ricky, Caleb and all family members that cherished memories will provide comfort and healing.

Ricky:

Without ever having the pleasure and honor of meeting Pam, I knew through you and your parents what a wonderful spirit she had.  I am truly sorry for your loss, but, as you already know and the notes of sympathy and remembrance confirm, she has joined the heavenly body where there is no pain and suffering. Your loss now, but your reunion to come.  Take care and God bless you and the entire family during this time.

Roland

To the Layton family-I pray that the Lord will put His loving arms around each of you during this sad time. What a wonderful lady she was...she was my 4th grade teacher at WCA. She was always so joyful, and her joy was contagious. She was a very treasured teacher and friend. "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted"-Matthew 5:4

Ricky and Caleb,  Pam was such a beautiful person- best described in Proverbs 31.  I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you, and your family.

I am sorry for your loss. She was a very great lady and I am glad I got a chance to meet her.  (Amy Rismiller, Dan Jones' daughter)

My sincerest condolences to the Layton and Jones families. 

I met Pam in September 2011 and realized very quickly just what a wonderful, special and gifted person she was. She has been a friend, a source of support and encouragement to me during a very difficult time. She was a wonderful witness for her Lord, Jesus Christ and readily shared her faith. She will be sorely missed by so many. I will never forget her concern and kindess and how she blessed my life.

Prayers and thoughts are with the family during this time.  Felt as I knew her so much and I know just from hearing from you Ricky how special Pam was to everyone.
Just know your friends and family are here for both you and Caleb.

As a Xenia High School classmate, I have nothing but wonderful memories of Pam. I'll always remember her big smile, big heart, and contagious laugh.  She was fondly thought of by many.  With deepest sympathies to the Layton and Jones families.

Most sincerely,

Pam I was sad but I know you are with the Lord so through my tears I'm smiling. I will miss your laugh and warm smiles, but know your in a better place as you look down on all of us making a fuss over you.

My prayers to all of Pam's family. I remember Pam from Girl Scout camp when I was in junior high school and Pam was in high school. Her friend at the time was Linda Fyffe (I think) and they both used to sing all of the popular songs played on the radio (very well too). Pam was a pretty girl way back then and this picture shows she aged very well and grew into a very pretty woman. I am sorry to hear this as she was still young and I am also sorry for your loss.

Our hearts and prayers to go out to the Layton family. Although we only knew Mrs. Layton for a short time she touched us the moment we met her and continued to do so through the school year at FCS. Jack adored and trusted her as she always knew exactly what to say to him when he became stressed. She was an inspiration as a woman, educator, and Christian. We will never forget her.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. i know this is a tough time. God bless you all

My thoughts are with you and your family. I hope your happy memories of Pam will get you through this difficult time.  I am so sorry for your loss..........

Ricky, we are so very sorry to hear of your loss.  Although I only met Pam once, she was a lovely lady and I'm thankful I had the chance to meet her. We will see her again in Heaven!  Please know we are here if you need anything!  Sending you thoughts and prayers, Margie & Brad Hammond

How blessed we were to have you with us on the 3rd.  Little did we know the journey in the next few weeks.  Our sympathy and love be with you all. We'll miss Pam so much.

As I would look up through the glass where I sit at work, there often would be the prettiest smile....Pam. Though I only knew her for a short time, her memory I will keep forever. Honestly, one of the most sweetest ladies I have ever known. My heart goes out to the family.

Our love, prayers, and deepest sympathy to you Ricky, Caleb, and family. Pam was a special angel on earth, and now in heaven. What a privilege to have had her as both of my boy's 4th grade teacher, a fellow laborer, and sister in Christ. While our hearts are very heavy, heaven is a little sweeter today.

Our prayers go out to the family of Pam Layton.  Our daughter spent 14 years at WCA and Pam helped us out at the time of my mother's illness and death by driving Maggie to school. I couldn't leave my mother alone and we lived up in N. Raleigh. I remember her caring so much for my daughter and I'm grateful to have had the pleasure of knowing her. To the family,  I pray that trusting in Him at this most-sorrowful time in your lives will get you through.

     I am sending my condolences to Rick and Caleb and the Jones and Layton families. I am a former Wilmington College classmate of Pam's. I was able to reconnect with Pam on the phone recently for the first time in many years.  We were able to pick up right where we left off as if no time had passed. Needless to say we had a great time catching up with each other.  She talked about her family, job and  how at the time she was feeling better.  She thought she would beat this.  I told her I would keep her and her family  in my prayers.  We said we would talk again soon.
      Pammy Faye as we called her in college was a very special lady who knew how to enjoy life and make people laugh.  I will miss her a lot and remember her with love and joy.

Ricky, may the God of all grace and comfort be your strength in the days ahead. As I think of the reunion we enjoyed with Pam, you and the WCA family it reminds me of the reunion that awaits us in glory. Kathy and I pray that our Lord will pour out his blessings on you in abundance.

We were sad to hear about the homegoing of Pam. This has to be such a difficult time for your family but may you be comforted to know she is with the Lord she loved and served. She had a wonderful smile every time we saw her and her love for the Lord  touched so many people. Your family will be in our prayers.

Mrs. Layton will surely be missed by our daughter, Hayden, whom Mrs. Layton took under her wings to help her with her math skills with a desk set up for Hayden right there in her office! What a precious loving and caring lady.

Our deepest Sympathy goes out to the Layton Family. While we had not met Pamela personally our frienship with Ricky kept us aware of her illness. May our faith in the Lord make it easier to go forward..

"Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints."  May God's grace, mercy, and peace sustain sustain you.

Our love and sympathies come from The Cannella family, Dino, Sue, Betsy and Katie.  Our family thinks the world of Pam and your your family.  She and Nigel are looking down on us all and while we will miss them, we know she is in heaven for SURE!!

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

Mrs. Layton was a beautiful person and will be missed by many at Friendship Christian School.

Don, Sue and Donavon Stell

Bryant and I send our love and prayers to you all.  What a great person Pam was and she touched so many lives.  Our hearts are so sad for all of you.

Our Angel is now with our Lord.  We will miss your smiley face and kindness.  We pray you shine your goodness down from above as you did on earth.  Peace be with you dear Pam.

Pam was a beautiful, Godly lady. She beamed with the love of Jesus. She was a wonderful friend. Our heart is sad for you, Ricky, and all the family but we rejoice that Pam is with Jesus. We are praying for all of you. We love you,
Eddie & Betsy Watkins

Although it has been many years since I had regular contact with Pam and Rick at Six Forks Baptist church, I am enriched for having known such a sweet Christian lady. To all her family please accept my heartfelt condolences. I know that Pam is thrilling the Host in Glory with her beautiful voice.

I lift my eyes up, my help comes from the Lord.  Thanks for the St. Timothy's School memories.  My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

I will always remember Pam's smile and laughter when we would meet at Aunt Hattie's house for the holidays. There is a new angel in heaven today. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Dear Layton Family ~  The Petro family extends heartfelt condolences and prayers.  Pam was an extraordinary woman, and a picture of grace.  We share your sadness, and will pray for comfort for all of you.

A true example of Christian character! She touched so many lives while here on earth and her legacy will continue. Now it is time for her to rejoice at the feet of her Savior! Will and I are thinking and praying for your family during this most difficult time!

He Only Takes the Best

God saw that she was getting tired,
A cure was not to be.
So He put His arms around her
and whispered, "Come with Me."
With tearful eyes, we watched her suffer,
And saw her fade away.
Although we loved her dearly,
We could not make her stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes "the best".
Our prayers are that God is close to the Layton & the Jones Family!!!
