I suspect I'm not the only one following Pami's day by day progression of her illness. Sad doesn't even begin to express what I'm feeling.
I just came here to post this because I know Pami is loved here and I didn't want to feel so alone in my sadness.
Sunny hoping I'm not out of line here
and some of us that are, are not friends with everyone on RCTQ.
I'm not on Facebook either

I'm not on facebook either - but I am so sorry to hear that Pami's battle is being lost. She's been through some very rough years and we held such high hopes for her. Polly

I think I worded my post badly. I didn't mean it was only for people on FB, only that I had seen Pami's situation there and .... I don't know.
Sorry folks, I'm having rough week -- my new medicine dose topped out three days ago and I feel it but it doesn't seem to hit what it needs to. Anything I say is suspect and probably upside down. But I'm sad about Pami and I thought some of her friends here might want to know. Polly, what you said.

Oh rats Sunny, I'm sorry about your meds. Hope the right one is found soon. Pami has been in our hearts and on our minds for a good while. Some of us don't get the updates but we send our thoughts and prayers to her and her family. It is a long hard battle with this awful disease they fight. Polly really says it best. Hugs, Taria
I hope Pami sometimes gets to fondle and smile at the squishies we sent her years ago. She'd thought it would be fun to make an Ugly quilt and asked for ugly fabrics. I don't think she's ever felt up to actually making the quilt but she did have some happy times as the uglies came rolling in. It wasn't, of course, a good time for her to publish her own address and I was the middle man. Being part of that was really something; "paisley meets Sponge Bob" or was it "Jacobean Otto"... probably the worst all though there were many serious contenders. Even with her surgeries and chemos, Pami has supported our Newborns in Need projects; I've wondered how she had the strength. It hurts to be losing such a dear friend. May God cover her with the feathers of his wings, Polly
"Taria" Oh rats Sunny, I'm sorry about your meds. Hope the right one
Howdy!
Disturbing to see someone being mourned, before they've even begun to "give up the battle". I understand the attraction of melodrama... or maybe I don't. "Sharing" this way does a disservice to us all.
Pami's working hard. She's struggling, but she's fighting the disease. Her spirit is strong, she's not just sitting around waiting for the final chapter. She's Pami. She posts daily, sometimes updates on her health, sometimes a funny little observation. It's not time for the lilies and chrysanthemum wreathes. Pami celebrates life, and as she says, "Live life to the fullest."
You don't have to be on FaceBook to check in; if ya' care: call. She is on FaceBook, as many millions of us are. Find her there. Or over on the Caring Bridge.

Thanks for giving us the Caring Bridge link Sandy. .

Thank you, Sandy, for saying what I could not find the words for.

I guess the problem was those of us not privy to the info mentioned had no clue what the heck was going on. I still am not quite sure. I have followed the caring bridge site and it hasn't been updated in a very long time. Her face book page was unavailable to me and probably the others not 'playing' there. I honestly assumed she had passed from the initial note. I tried to kindly pull the correct info out of you folks in the know but until your note it really hasn't been addressed. So often times things here come across the wrong way. I don't believe most folks are mean spirited. Sure some are but most are not. A terrible illness is tragic and everyone deals with it in a different way, whether you are the sick one or the caring friend. Treading lightly is a kindness.
Taria, quilting on a quilt for a very sick auntie today. Wish I had something more fun to work on.
Sunny - I follow Pami on FB too - and it is so sad - she's such a fighter and I certainly hope if anything like this ever happens to me that I can handle it all as well as she does - she's a great lady who I pray for every day.

Apologies, no more late night posts. If I could remove the post I would, but I don't know how. I just wanted to express concern about Pami and let her friends here know she is sicker and weaker and is a brave and amazing woman.

May we all have the grace, determination, strength and poise that Pami continues to show and share as she wages her war on cancer. I don't think I could begin to stay has positive as she is every day.
She's heading south to Florida for a little respite -- before beginning another radiation treatment. If you are reading here, Pami -- have a wonderful time... enjoy that wonderful sunshine!
