Pam - wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend. She was more than those titles, she encompassed everything good about them. She was always willing to help people and sought out these situations. She used the lessons she learned in life to help guide those who needed it. Sometimes even showing her humility by sharing her mistakes so others could learn through them. She served others countless times in countless ways, some of which were; meals for those celebrating the birth of a child, those mourning a loss, or who have fallen ill. She would help with her grandkids any chance she could. She and other ladies from church served at a local assisted living facility hosting monthly tea parties for the residents. She was a wife of one man and loved him whole heartedly all the way through the end. She loved the birds that came by her feeders. She loved beautiful sunrises and sunsets often quoting Psalm 19:1. She loved to camp, and enjoy God's handiwork. She loved to bake, teaching her kids the family recipes along the way. She enjoyed providing fresh food for her family from her garden. Most importantly above all these things she loved and served the Lord with all she was. She was a daughter of the King and now stands in His presence worshipping the Lord in heaven.
