A thread for Pam and her family.

[RICHARD]

I hope you will post some thoughts for Pam and her family.
She too lost her mother last week. It's a tough thing. All the cliches are appropriate at a time like this.

As much as you know it one day will happen, you are never prepared.
You do pray for the lord to ease them into his arms and onto peace.
And on and on....

Pam,

My heart and thoughts are with you and your family. There are times when you stop and wonder if you are the only person on the planet with a heavy heart.

Hearts are never to be heavy, broken or empty spaces. They are places filled with love and hope and all the things that make a person happy-especially with thoughts of the people you love and keep there.

The next things we will have in common should be fun, happy and full of smiles.


We deserve it!:)

[Laura's Babies]

Thought and prayers are with Pam and her family during this time of sadness.

[Randi]

Pam, I'm so sorry to hear you have lost your mother. :( I hope you will remember the good times, and know that she is at peace now.

My deepest sympathy to you and your family. :love:

(((hugs)))

[Medusa]

Pam, at times like this, words seem so ineffectual but it's all we've got since we're so many miles away. I hope that you can take comfort in knowing that you have a big collective (((HUG))) from all your PT family. Losing our mom is comparable to no other loss. For a while after my mom died, I was angry because the world didn't stop. Then later I was comforted w/memories after the shock wore off. Please know that prayers are going up for you and Richard and all my PT family every day. :love:

[smokey the elder]

I'm so sorry about your mom. Wasn't she a member here? Maybe she's having tea with Richard's mom. {{Hugs}}

[Barbara]

Oh Pam, I am so sorry. Losing my mom last year is still so close to me. I know we both are no spring chicken- but becoming an orphan is a tough thing. I am glad your family can bear this loss together.

[CountryWolf07]

Thoughts & prayers are sent out to Pam & her family. :love:

[Christiansmommy]

Thank you Richard! How sweet are you!?! I am sorry to hear of your Mother's passing as well. It is so comforting to know that we have people to lean on in times like these, who share similar circumstances. ((HUGS)) to you during the upcoming holidays!

Thanks everyone, ( I am Pam's daughter, for those who don't know already). My sweet Nana is walking hand in hand with her Lord and Savior and is in a far better place :) She is with her beloved husband too, who went home to be with the Lord years and years ago.

Thanks for the nice thoughts! I know mom and I really appreciate it :)

[wolf_Q]

[Moesha]

I want to add my condolences and sympathies to all of the others posted.

Godspeed Pam...

[Husky_mom]

I´m sorry to find out you have too lost your mom... and nana....

My condolences to you and your family... such hard times to go through.. but all in all... now they are happy and painless again... it´s ok to feel sad, but remember all the good times you had and that should give happiness to your heart to know they are now in a better place and most of all reunited with your dad...

[gini]

Pam and Robyn, I know how harsh this loss is for you both. I pray that in time your pain will be replaced with all of the loving thoughts you have of your Mom/Grandmother.

[Karen]

Pam, our thoughts are also with you and your family in this difficult time. Even when we know a death is going to happen, it can be a shock when it actually does. You will be in our prayers.

[4 Dog Mother]

Pam and Robyn and all family members, I have you in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. No time of the year is good to lose a family member but to lose them during the holidays always seems so terrible since you still have a big holiday to get through. Love and hugs, Diana

[DrKym]

My deepest sympathy Pam, may peace be a part of your Holidays, it is very tough losing a parent no matter what their age or yours. Hugs and love

[krazyaboutkatz]

Pam, I'm so sorry to hear this.:( My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

[K9soul]

Pam and Robyn, my deepest sympathies for the loss of your remarkable mother/grandmother. I don't think there's ever a time when one is truly "prepared" for the loss of a loved one. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.

[wolflady]

Gosh, such a sad series of events! I'm so sorry to hear of your loss too, Pam. I can't even fathom the loss of a parent, so please know that I'm thinking about you and your family.
much love,
Karen

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Pam, I am so sorry for your loss. :love:

I know how hard it is. Somehow, I think all our parents are gathered around telling each other tales about their kids .... us! :love:

[Pam]

Richard you are so sweet to be thinking of others when you are going through such a hard time yourself. I guess that is why we all love you! :love: Honestly, you always see the glass half full so I am sure you inherited that attitude from your mom. My mom instilled that in me too. Mothers have the greatest influence on their children over anyone else (at least that was so for me) and the loss is like no other. I have been doing pretty good and focusing on the good times and thinking of the life she is living right now that I can only try to imagine. I pray that those kinds of comforting thoughts are with you today and in the future days Richard. (((hugs)))... and thank you again. :)

[AbbyMom]

I'm so sorry to hear about this. Hugs for both of you.

[Cinder & Smoke]

Let's remember our good friends, Pam and Robyn, right now, too.

Pam's mother, Robyn's grandmother, Margaret,
passed away on Friday, November 28, 2008.
Her funeral was yesterday, Wednesday.

She lived to the glorious age of 99 years old.
Just knowing her daughter and granddaughter, I feel that this was a magnificent mother.

:(

I'm sorry we didn't know of Mom's passing before now ...
Sympathies should have been offered in a more timely fashion. :(

I'm sure She was welcomed to The Bridge by all her RB GrandFurrs and their BridgeKid Friends.

Rest In Peace, Ms Margaret, and know that your Passing is mourned by Many.

My {{{Hugs}}} of Sympathy go out to Pam and Robin.

/s/ :( Phred

[AdoreMyDogs]

I'm so very sorry for your loss, Pam, Robyn, and family. I know this is very hard for you. I can't even imagine losing my mother.

My deepest sympothies go out to your whole family. :( :love:

[emily_the_spoiled]

Pam, I didn't realize that your mother had passed away.

Words can not make the hurt go away, but please accept my sympathies :(

[K9karen]

Pam and Robyn..
I feel like I've known your mom/nana all these years. She was an awesome lady!

She lived a wonderfully full life, God Bless Her Heart. We should all be so lucky..99 years....

It thrills me to know she's with her hubby. It comforts ME that she's healthy and happy. You all were wonderful to her and she'll be with you forever! See ya later nana!!!!!

[Alysser]

I'm so sorry for your loss, Pam. ((hugs))

[sparks19]

OMG... Pam. I am so sorry :(

I really have no words. I'm so sorry

[Pam]

Thank you everybody. I am doing pretty good although on Wednesday I was thinking to myself "I have nowhere to go tomorrow" (since I always visited Mom on Thursdays) and the tears came out of nowhere. My tears are for me and not her. As the pastor said at her funeral, "if we were were to ask her to come back she would say "No Thank You!" I rest in that! :)

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

I'm so sorry for you & your family, dear Pam :(

sending you a big hug :love::love::love:!!

[Cookiebaker]

Pam, I am so sorry for your loss of your Mom. :( Sending you lots of {{hugs}}.

I know what you mean, my mom always came over for dinner on Saturday night, it was strange on saturdays after she passed on. That is how I found her, she didn't show up on time on saturday so I had to go looking for her. I had a fresh peach milkshake in the freezer waiting for her, I had to have my husband throw it away.

Maybe for a while you can take flowers to her grave to comfort you on thursdays? In time it will be easier.

[kimlovescats]

Dear Pam and Robyn, I am so terribly sorry to hear of your mother / grandmother's passing!:( I am sure there can be no greater pain than losing your mother. I pray that the Lord will give you peace in your hearts!:love:

[*LabLoverKEB*]

Pam and Christiansmommy, I am soo terribly sorry for your loss. I know how hard this is for you....
Love and prayers on the way!:love:

[caseysmom]

How are you doing Pam? I hope your okay.

[cassiesmom]

Pam, I am just now seeing this thread. Remembering you in thoughts and prayers.

[Rachel]

Thought of it being a week on Friday and now going into another week. The separation process takes on new dimensions as each day passes. Even as we get older, I doubt that we ever outgrow our need for a mother.

One of the things I learned about Pam's mother was that she was so well liked at the retirement community where she spent her final years. As we age some of our ideosyncracies can be a bit off putting, so that is no small attribute to have. She was also an extremely unselfish woman who spent many years caring for a husband who was ill. Even though I never met her, these aspects of how she lived her life are something I would like to strive to emulate.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've got a suspicion that Pam's mom made a significant stop at the Rainbow Bridge. Hugs to both of you, Pam and Robyn.

[Killearn Kitties]

I'm so very sorry to hear this, and sorry I am so late in seeing it. Your posts mentioned your mother on occasion Pam, and it was obvious how much she meant to you.
Sending very best wishes for all your family at this time.

[joycenalex]

pam, robyn, i just saw this today, i am so so sorry for your huge loss.

[Pam]

Thank you so much everyone. This is really the most caring community of people that I ever met. I am so thankful that I found this site so many years ago. :) My grief is for myself. Mom is in heaven - no doubt in my mind! Rachel is so right. She was loved by all. The one LPN who had been assigned to her for the last few years happens to be a man. He told me recently that he loved my mom. They would "throw" kisses to each other. It was the cutest thing to watch. Mom would kiss her hand and then, using her index finger, she would "flick" the kiss to Bill and he would reciprocate. :)

I have a little sort of shrine on my dining room table. :) There is a huge plant from my niece and her hubby in the center and then I have a picture of Mom and a picture of Dad next to it in front of the plant along with the guest book that was at the funeral. I am now able to walk by the "shrine" and smile, knowing she is happy and whole now.




Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've got a suspicion that Pam's mom made a significant stop at the Rainbow Bridge. Hugs to both of you, Pam and Robyn.

Rachel, most definitely she has found our dogs, hers and mine, and probably has a lapful now. She also loved little children. Just a few years ago she told me she wished she could have adopted some children earlier in life (she only had two - my brother and myself) and would still do it at the age of 90 if she was allowed! LOL!

Thank you once again everyone. I was very fortunate to have had her in my life. She had a big impact on me and probably in many ways I am who I am because of her. :)
