Pat and Gary,
I am saddened to learn of your loss.  I loved the stories of your mother traveling the world with her girlfriends and her love of Vegas and gambling.  Pat, you always spoke so lovingly of your mother, I know you have many special memories to cherish.
Prayers for you and your family,

Pat and Gary,

Our deepest sympathy.  We are so sorry to hear of your loss.  Your Mom was a very special, beautiful lady.

Pat & Gary,

Sorry I didn't write earlier; I seldom check my Hotmail Account nowadays so I didn't get the sad news until today.  

Please accept my deepest sympathy on the death of your beloved mother.  I never had the pleasure of meeting Mama Lam in person but feel that we would have gotten along marvelously.  Cherish her memories.

My deapest condolences go to my surviving relatives who will have the difficult task of continuing without a very special person.
My Grandmother was always proud of her immediate and extended family members and expressed her feelings with unconditional love and Aloha.
I always appreciated your valuable time and interest.

Gary & Pat,  My thoughts and prayers are with you during this most difficult time.  I have very recently lost my "MaMaw" at 96 and know how hard it is.  I pray that your fond memories will always bring a smile to your face.

Debbie and I were saddened to learn of Thelma Lam's passing.  We really enjoyed the times that we were able to see her.  I'm sure her visits were always a high point of the year.  I know how important she was to the family and will be dearly missed by all. Please pass along our condolences to everyone in the family.

Sherron and I are sorry to hear about the passing of Pat's mom. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you as you travel to take care of the things that you must do. Sherron lost her mother three years ago and a brother this past April so we are very familiar with these trying times. We know Pat was very close to her Mom and she will be missed. God bless you in the days ahead and we will see you when you return.

Dear Pat amd Gary,

We send our deepest sympathy to you and the rest of Thelma's family.
Please know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.

May the love your mother shared with each of you hold you close and bring you peace.

Warmest Regards and Blessings,

Larry and Mary Lue Ryan

Pausing for the Lord's Prayer has special meaning for our family as well and it was a moving tribute to the matriarch of a very special family. Please know that our thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathies are with you.

Gary & Pat, please accept our heartfelt condolences for the loss of precious loved one.  A Mom is very special and the loss of mine in August of 2008 still weighs heavily upon my heart.  Jean and I are comforted by the knowledge that the loss of those we love simply precede us into the presence of our heavenly Father.  May God's peace be upon your family during this time of mourning.  Jeff & Jean Potts, Harvest, Alabama.

Pat and Gary know how much we loved and respected Thelma, but the rest of the family should know how much joy she brought to our lives while making the rounds of her favorite "eating establishments" on her many visits to Huntsville. One of the highlights of our life is our trip to Hawaii and the cruise tour of four islands with Thelma, Pat, Gary and other friends. With all the beautiful and unique sights and sounds of Hawaii, one of the things we remember most is the visit to Thelma and friends gathering place at Micky Ds. We will be with you in spirit when you lay Thelma to rest. Jerry and Christa Wilhelm

They don't come any sweeter than Mama Lam, that's for sure.  We share your grief and hope that memories of her will comfort you in her absence.  It was an honor and pleasure to have known her.  Accept our most sincere condolences at her passing.  We hope that your grieving will be brief and that your happiest of memories will be everlasting.  We trust your family will find solace in the richness and fullness of her life and the blessing of having shared it with her.

We wish we could be there with you and although we cannot we are thinking of you. She was a very sweet person and always had a big smile to greet us with. She will be missed but take comfort in knowing she had a pretty great life. She raised a wonderful family that adored her, traveled the world, and gambled almost as much as she would have liked.(I think Las Vegas will miss her too.) Take care. With love, The Hunt Family

Pat, Gary and Family,

Please accept our deepest sympathies.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief.  May your memories bring you comfort.

I wish could be there with you all. She was a great lady and soooo sweet. She was very loved by all. I will miss my extra grandmother. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Take care and know she is still with you.

Will always remember her visits to my home for the holidays and our trips to Tennessee and Florida.  Velma and her kept us entertained in the big old van as we rolled down the highway exploring and eating!  Thelma loved to travel and be with family.  We will miss her but will always remember her smile and great sushi!  The Kentucky Connection... Fronz,Don,Mike,Ileen,Bubba Kat

Please pass on our very best regards and sincerest sympathies to Pat and her family. Having been there and lost both of my folks in a 28 day period, I can tell you that nothing tears your emotional heart out like the loss of your Mother. And for Pat, I'm certain that it will be significant - she always demonstrated such deep love and caring for her Mother. From your note below, I can see her sitting at a table with her friends at Ala Moana. How very much like Pat to be by her Mother's side for that visit.

Please don't hesitate to let us know of anything that you or Pat need; have always considered you to be a great friend, even though we rarely ever really get to see each other unless and until we were both visiting Pat's Mother and family. Ironic. I'm sure there's a lesson there for both of us.

Warmest regards and deepest sympathies from Deborah and I to both of you and to Pat's entire family.
