Prayers for the family and friends.So sorry for your loss.
Pam,
It’s hard to put into words what you meant to me, and even harder to understand or believe that you’re really gone. You were so much more than just a friend — you were like a second mom and an aunt all wrapped up in one. From the moment I met you, you welcomed me into your heart and home without hesitation, as if we’d known each other forever. And honestly, it felt like we had. You had that way about you — the ability to make anyone feel like they were right where they belonged.
I remember walking into your house and knowing, without a doubt, that I was home. The smell of whatever you were cooking in the kitchen, the sound of you chatting away about everything and nothing, and that feeling of being safe and cared for no matter what. You were always ready with a warm plate of food, a cold Mountain Dew, and a list of things that needed doing around the house. But no matter how many tasks there were, you always made sure there was time for me, always made sure I knew how much I was loved.
You had the biggest heart. You loved so freely and so fiercely. When you loved someone, there was no doubt about it. You’d give someone the shirt off your back, even if it was the last one you had, just to make sure they were okay. Your kindness knew no bounds, but you were also fierce when it came to protecting the people you cared about. You’d fight for the ones you loved, and I was fortunate enough to be one of those people.
In times of need, I always knew that you were the first person I could count on, even if I had to chase you down to answer the phone. You were always a safe place, the one I knew I could turn to when the world was too much. Your door was always open, no questions asked. You gave so much of yourself, and somehow still had room for more love to share. You listened without judgment, offered advice without pushing, and gave comfort when it was needed most. You were always there, with a strong shoulder and an ear willing to listen to anything — from my worries to my complaints, from my fears to my joys.
The last time I saw you, in the hospital, I didn’t know it would be the last time. But I’ll forever hold the last words I heard from you close to my heart. “I love you too, baby.” That simple, beautiful sentence, filled with all the love and care you always gave, will stay with me for the rest of my life.
Pam, you were such a bright light in this world, a light that I’ll never forget. I’ll miss you more than words can express, but I’ll hold onto every memory, every laugh, every conversation, and every moment of love we shared. Your impact on my life is something I will carry with me always.
Rest peacefully, my dear friend. You were loved beyond measure, and you’ll be missed more than you’ll ever know.
So sorry for hearing this. I have known her since elementary school. We were best friends for a long time. We used to make people think we were going to fight and then turn around and rub our buts together. We thought it was so funny. I will miss you. Love too all the family. Mona (palmer) Bishops
