Family

Family is so important. Creating memories and sharing experiences and being there when you are needed is what it is all about. I just came from a memorial service for a 2nd cousin who passed away at the too young age of 54. His parents, siblings, children, relatives and friends are devastated. He was very accomplished in his life, but the favorite remembrances of those who spoke at the service were of sharing family dinners and happy times spent together.
Pam really understood the importance of family. Her favorite times were having all her children in her house at the same time. She loved taking care of them and just being with them. She lived for trips to Michigan or for Meg and family to come here.
I cannot go to any funeral or memorial service without thinking about Pam. I sadly can feel the pain of the family in the front row. I feel for them for the agony they have been through and the difficult times ahead, as the family struggles to continue on with a hole so large you can never imagine it closing.
I love my family. I look forward to family get togethers. I want Eddie to have an endless supply of happy memories of time spent with family. God Bless our family!
