We are saddened and shocked by Sister Pam's sudden death. We know that just as the Lord Jesus walked with Sister Pam throughout her entire life; He is walking with her now in her new home, her true heavenly home. Our Dear Lord, Grant us now strength and courage to face the new challenges and demands that await us. Be with all of the family and loved ones and give us a new sense of your comfort and peace.
