For Pam

October 11, 2014 @ 19:59 By Gavin Webber 13 Comments

Sadly my Mother-in-law, Pam Dawson passed away early Thursday morning.  Kim, Ben and I miss her dearly, so this post is dedicated to her memory.

No more words because there aren’t any to describe how we feel.  Just pictures of the garden that she loved to visit and potter around in.

    Oh no, I’m so sorry to hear that. Was that Pam you ‘interviewed’ on a podcast earlier this year? (Or maybe last year) She seemed lovely. My condolences to you all, but especially you Kim. Melindi

      Thanks Melindi. It has been a few days, but we are still very raw emotionally. Yes, you are right. She was over here in April this year on holidays, and featured in Episode 61.

    I am so saddened to hear of your loss. What a wonderful, loving, caring soul she was. She was loved dearly by everyone and now gets to rest among the angels.
    I don’t have many words as I am still in shock… I am so terribly sorry.

    Goodness, such a sad time but a beautiful tribute to a fine lady. Please give Kim a big big hug for me. My father-in-law passed away on Wednesday. A reminder to all of us to live our best life while we can, it doesn’t last forever.
