Matthew 5:4 “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted and Revelation 21:4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes.”
Pamela was born to the late Morris Edwards, Jr. and the late Helen Fobbs Edwards. Pam was married to James Lewis in 1993. After her marriage, she nurtured her great nieces and nephew: Danaya, Ayana, Mashayla and Damarion Lewis.

Romans 8:38-39
38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

To those I love
When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not here to see. If the sun shall rise and find your eyes, filled with tears for me. I wish you wouldn't cry the way you did today, while thinking of the many things we didn't get to say. I know how much you love me as much as I love you. And each time you think of me. I know you'll miss me too. When tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart. For every time you think of me, I'm right here in your heart.
