I hope that the family will take comfort in knowing that your dear Pandy is now sleeping peacefully, awaiting Jesus call to come out. (John 5:28, 29; 11:11, 43) She will awaken to a restored earth where death and suffering will be no more. (Psalm 37:29; Revelation 21:4) Until that time, remember that our loving Creator, invites you, the grieving family, to "throw all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you." (1 Peter 5:7)

Jada and family, I send heartfelt love and sympathy to you during this sad time. May the memories you have of the good days always be with you as you struggle to say farewell to one you loved so well and so long. Take joy in the loving care you gave her. Bernie Robertson-Fischer posted one of my favorite quotes by Shakespeare yesterday, and I want to remind you of it today: "...and when she shall die, take her and cut her into little stars, And she will make the face of heaven so fine, that all the world will be in love with night, and pay no worship to the garish sun."- William Shakespeare (The Bard always says it best!) Please know I am your friend always and always, and I love you. I have prayed for your family daily for many days, and I want you to know that I care deeply.

Rose and Jada, so sorry for Pandy, but from what I read on facebook she suffered so much the last few months. Rose, if you remember me, I worked with you at DSS, and you were always a favorite friend of mine. She is resting in peace now and I know you probably feel lost without her, but just remember our Lord and Savior is at her side now. She will always be in your heart and memories. May God Bless you and your family at this time.

I met Pandy in junior high school altho we werent't close friends, there was never a time that I would meet her in school changing classes, or in public, that she didn't stop to say Hello, and ask how I had been. Always that beautiful smile, and the warmnest you felt from her greeting. Just a special person. Later on, a few years down the road, I had the chance to really get to know Pandy thru the court system. I managed a store, and had to attend court regularly due to store problems, with customers.Pandy would always stop and talk to me at breaks, ect...... I had a couple of family problems, and without me asking, Pandy would stand up, interrupt the Judge, and ask if she could assist my family. Pandy was such a great help to me and my family. Her kindness, and thoughtful deeds will never be forgotten. If ever I needed advice, or just to talk about a problem she always took time to offer advice, or just comfort me. So unselfish, such a beautiful spirit. It grieves me to hear of her passing, but knowing she is safe within the arms of our LORD gives me peace, as I hope it does for her close friends and Family. May GOD be with you all in this time,I pray for comfort and peace to surround you.
