I have been thinking of you and your family all day, and my heart is very heavy. I have so many things I would like to say to just try and ease your pain, but the truth is no words can ease that. Nick was your world and anyone that knows you can see the love you have for him. I know this is probably the most diffcult time in your life, but you are a very strong woman and I know in time your pain will ease up some. Let yourself feel the emotions Pam, don’t keep them inside. I have learned that always trying to be tough sometimes backfires. I am blessed to have gotten to know Nick through you. I am here for you, only a phone call away. Please if you need anything just call. We love you and Corbin and especially Nick and I pray that as these next fews days come and go that GOD will help bring a peace over you and your family and Nick’s family.
Pam,
I can’t imagine the ache in your heart at this time. I DO KNOW though that our gracious, loving Savior will carry you through the days, weeks, and months ahead. Lay your sorrow and aching heart at HIS FEET and HE will give you the peace you need to go on, one day at a time. Do not worry about tomorrow or the future ~ HE WILL DELIVER YOU! Time is a healer of all wounds. And when you think of Nick, remember his life is truly just beginning! God has a plan for each of us and our hearts CAN TRUST HIM that it is HIS WILL for us and that it is good. May God’s unconditional LOVE surround you, Corbin, and Nicks Family during this great loss in your lives. I love you PAM, and my prayers for you will not cease! In Christ Jesus, Maggie
