They say time heals all wounds. Some are larger than others and take longer to hearl. When a loved one dies, they take a piece of your heart with them. It takes a while to fill that void in our lives and in our hearts. You never get over losing someone really close to you but you learn how to live with it. I pray God swiftens your grief and heals your heart and fills it with love and joy. gOD gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Dear Benny, Kittye, Megan, and Aaron,
I taught at La Maison des Enfants for 18 years. While I have many fond memories, one of the most endearing was of Brady. One afternoon a very "fluffy", mentally challenged young woman wandered into our school. She was drawn to the sound of children playing. For safety reasons, I walked with her from room to room. Aaron, Brady, and the other 4 year olds were having an afternoon snack. Brady stood up and said, "Ms. Pam, Do you see the hairs on them big fat legs?" After working with Benny Kyle at the sheriff's office, I realized that Brady got his subtlety from his father. Everytime I think back to that moment with Brady, it makes me smile. No parent should have to bury their precious child. My heart is heavy, my prayers are many. Sincerely, Pam
