Pamela Candler was a precious person who found her hope in the Lord Jesus Christ. We worshiped together from the late 1980's until late 2007. She and my dear Debra became fast friends and Pam went to great lengths to spoil our daughter beyond rotten. Friends like Pamela come along maybe once in a lifetime, as others can also testify.
She and I spoke for the first time in quite a while on New Year's Eve. She sounded bright and cheerful as ever. She had not heard that my Debra had passed only three days prior, so we wept together for a few minutes. They has been and remained very dear to one another.
Numerous portions of Scripture come to mind. Among them, Philippians 1: to depart and be with Christ, which is far better! I wouldn't wish her back, for she has found something better in the bosom of her Redeemer.
