I would like to express my heartfelt sympathy in the loss of your loved one, Ms. Addie.May the fond memories shared with her and the resurrection hope Jesus spoke of in the Bible at John 5:28,29 be a source of comfort during this time of grief and pain. .

Pam, while we will miss you tremendously, none of us knows how much the “little ones” in the family will miss you. The books, the creative learning materials, the clothes you made, the delicious sweet treats...I know my grans will miss you and all you gave... and all you did to forever “teach”. On behalf of them, “Alannah...Peyton... Leland...and Emmanuel Errol”, thanks for being a part of their and our lives! Much love Cousin Sylvia

To the family and friends of Pamela Ross, I am very sorry for your loss. The wise man Solomon at Ecclesiastes 9:11,12 tells us “I have seen something further under the sun, that the swift do not always win the race, nor do the mighty win the battle, nor do the wise always have the food, nor do the intelligent always have the riches, nor do those with knowledge always have success, because time and unexpected events overtake them all. For man does not know his time. Just as fish are caught in an evil net and birds are caught in a trap, so the sons of men are ensnared in a time of disaster, when it suddenly overtakes them..” Yet we can take comfort knowing that there is One who can and will remove such tragedies forever. Until then may you find comfort in the Bible’s hope that one day we will see our lost loved ones again. Jesus also showed how this promise is sure when he resurrected Lazarus. John 11:1-44. Such bible truths provide us with hope and comfort as we look forward to the day when death will no longer be and those who have sadly lost their lives will be awakened onto a Paradisiac Earth, to a life free of sickness, pain, sorrow and the worries of ever dying again. This being the Creator’s original purpose, it will indeed be fulfilled. Yes, Knowing this makes one wonder what wonderful new things Ms Ross will be able to achieve in the near future. Genesis 2:7, 8; Isaiah 55:11; Isaiah 25:8; Revelation 21:3, 4; John 6:40; and 1 Corinthians 15:25, 26
