4/13/2009 Pam had a good week and a fantastic Easter. Throughout the week, Pam spent most of her time relaxing and resting, while dealing with frequent nausea and little appetite. She was inspired by a special visit by friends from church who gave their testimony of how God helped them overcome a number of health issues and prayed for God's healing for Pam. The prayer meeting seemed to give her energy to coordinate plans for Easter Sunday and the family gathering.

She awoke Sunday with the usual feelings of weakness and felt uncertain about her stamina to direct the children's choir. By the time she arrived at church, she was really energized. The children sang very well, Pam was able to stand for the hymns without assistance, and showed no sign of weakness.

Nearly thirty people visited the house Sunday afternoon for a potluck We had six of our grandchildren, friends we have had since we have been married, four generations of one family, and our extended family. Pam was thoroughly enjoying the children, adults, a birthday celebration, and fellowship.

We are very thankful for the most happy day. The church and family activities were exactly what Pam needed to enjoy life and overcome any effects of the cancer for the day.

Easter was a blessed day for us and we thank you all for prayers, support and comforting thoughts.

The following was written by our 10-year old granddaughter in her homemade card,

" Dear Grandma,

I am praying for U. I have been praying every single night for U. I am so happy that the test results were good. I am happy for U. We all love U, and we all hope that U get better.

Love,

Lauren

P.S. U are the greatest Grandma in the world."

This represents the love and support which helped Pam on Sunday.
