"Dave, Larry, Luke, Kirby, Chet and all family and friends I have no words of comfort as I am struggling with this loss myself. Momma encompassed everything a woman should be. Wife partner mom sister aunt daughter friend. Her smile laughter and unconditional love got me through many challenges in my life even when I was 900 miles away. She refused to let me give up and in her strength I was able to pick myself up and move forward. Losing my lifetime best friend and my momma Pam in a months time has me feeling defeated. I can hear her telling me that she believes in me and how proud she is of me and so I will continue to put one foot in front of the other and pray that I can continue to make her proud. I love you Momma, forever and a day! (((Hugs)))"
