“The true measure of a person is in the lives they have touched”.
Beloved by family and friends, Pamela Ewald went home to be with the Lord on Saturday, March 4th, 2017 after a sudden unexpected illness. Born Pamela Diane Baim, Pam led a wonderful and fulfilling life. From serving her community as a Red Cross candy striper (in her teens) to serving homeless in her church food pantry (as an adult), Pam lived a life of compassion and love for others.
She had a passion for travel, sewing, playing the violin, photography, and gardening. But most specifically the light of her life was grandson Kaiden, who filled her days (and her heart!) with laughter, joy and love.
Overall, in her daily life, Pam was a person of faith, with a love for Jesus that caused her to strive to be His hands and His Heart no matter what she pursued/accomplished.
During her latter years, in the face of seemingly insurmountable illnesses, her faith, drive, and determination were an inspiration to all. She was most proud of her participation in The Climb - a fitness program designed to help those afflicted with Parkinson's Disease take back control of their lives. She was privately applauded for her courage to speak out about this disease (and its effects on her life) and the inspiration her words garnered when local T.V news featured their group in February 2016.
If we, her family, had to describe Pam in three words, those words would be: Kind, Compassionate, and Selfless.
Her walk wasn't perfect...whose is? She met the Lord 33 years ago (it was an honor to lead her to Christ!) She struggled much but she never quit; she was like "Martha" - always busy serving others with a smile on her face. She would tell you hearing His voice often eluded her; she often despaired that she did not know Him as she should. But at the end of her life here on earth, the Lord PREPARED HER - she became Mary, sitting at His feet; He came for her.
Her funeral was massive. There must have been 300 mourners - they all talked about how she inspired them, encouraged them, even if it was only the smile upon her face when SHE herself was having a bad day...
She had NO IDEA how many lives she touched (she often felt alone and unloved). But truly The Lord used her mightily...and without doubt He was able to receive her with loving arms proclaiming "Well done, thou good and faithful servant."

HE WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU
When The Lord says "I will never leave you nor forsake you" He means that 100 percent. The week of my sister's death, she sat quietly in a chair - sitting, eating, sleeping there. Her pastor and i agreed that she was being prepared. As she sat there she kept saying to her husband "please let me go....". The night before she died, she looked at her husband and said, "I want you to know that I love you. This will be my last night alive on earth."
"THIS WILL BE MY LAST NIGHT ALIVE ON EARTH...." - words proclaimed from her lips. And she died the very next morning. God absolutely told her this - He was with her every second
Her pastor told me she has heard this time and again - people always just know when they are to go to eternity - because He tells them, prepares them; He is with them.
Dr Martin Luther King Jr knew how he was going to die.
Yesterday The Lord showed me (from a woman who knew Prince) that she proclaimed, "The last year of his life, Prince knew that his time on this earth was limited. That's why he did the piano and microphone tour - he had something to say before he died, and did something he'd never done." His own sister Tyka Nelson said, "He told me two years ago that he was going to die."
BE ENCOURAGED - whether for your own peace of mind, or for those that you know who are in Christ and not doing well - truly The Lord is with them, preparing them, letting them know that they are not alone.
God bless.
