Dear Pam, Maddie and family,
We were very sorry to hear about your mom, grandmother! One thing I know for sure, Pam, is that she was your biggest "cheerleader"! That lady loved you so much. It was so evident in the way she spoke about you (and Maddie). What a dear lady she was and what wonderful memories you must hold. We pray those memories get you through the hard days and please know we are praying for you. She was very special and I am so happy to have gotten to know her in the early days of daycare with Maddie!
God bless,
Julie, Mark and boys

I hope you can find comfort in knowing that you spent all this time with her the past year giving up so much of your own life to share in hers. You are a great person and daughter.

Pam thank you for giving me a chance to know your Mom!! She was a wonderful lady and I will always remember her smile and kindness. And I will never look at the red cape that she gave me to "make" something fun, that I won't think of both of you! I will indeed make something special.
You and Maddie were so special to her and you were a wonderful daughter. My prayers and thoughts are with you at this very difficult time.
Your friend always
