Condolences

I heard the tragic news of August's passing. I can't tell you how sad this is makes me, but my saddness does not compare to the sadnes that you are feeling.
I knew August when she lived in Charleston, S.C. We lived next door. She was my daughter, Jennifer's best friend. They would do everything together, ride bikes, go to school together. She always had a ready smile and was always happy. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. She will be in our hearts and sadly missed forever. May the Love, Grace and Peace of our Lord Jesus be with you all during this time of grief.

Mom and Dad,

I am so sorry she was taken from you so early but always remember she is watching over all of us now and is in a much better place than we are. Always remember her wonderful smile and great sense of humor.No matter what troubles she was having she always stayed positive and kept going for Brady and Meadow. Not only was she my sister but she was my best friend and I am going to miss her so much. She always looked after me and now she will be my guardian angel.

Dear Pam;

All our prayers and words of condolence,however well
meant and honest,will not answer your pain and loss.
Nor will they help to answer your burning question of,
WHY LORD ?? I offer only these words,that keep running
through my mind since HE took back Claudi,and Eli said
to Samuel,It is the LORD,and HE will do what seems
Right to HIM. I Pray HE gives you strength for each new
day. Because from here on out it will be day by day.
If there is anything I can do ,please ask,and Lord wills
I'll do it for you. Take Care and GOD Bless You ALL

My prayers are with all of the family. To Jerry, Tutti, Jeff, Holly, Heather, and all of the rest of the family that I haven't seen in a long time since I moved away, there's nothing I can say or do to make you feel better at this time, but I'm praying for you just like Papaw Boy would have done. If any of y'all need anything, email me, call me or anything. I will do anything I can to help. All of your family have been not only the best of neighbors while I was growing up, but my VERY BEST FRIENDS. I love y'all and hang in there. God will give you strength. I'm sorry I can't make it for the funeral or to see you due to being far away and where I had my heatstroke, the finances are tough like everywhere else, but you'll always be in my prayers and always will be those "few" that I call my best of friends. I love all of ya and let me know if ya need anything. Take Care,

I want the family to know that I am praying for all of you & keeping you in my thoughts. I have since I heard about the tragic news. This has really had an effect on me. I remember August in the 6th grade, remember her moving to Charleston, SC, & I remember her coming back to high school when we were freshmen and feeling so excited. She was a wonderful person whom everyone loved. She had a great personality that just drew you to her. Her talent for art was amazing. She would do anything for you & help see you through anything. Everytime I have any memory of her, she was always smiling. She was definitely an angel on earth. I can't believe how fast news travels to Pensacola, FL where I'm living now, but it did. I know that she has had an amazing effect on my life and I will NEVER forget her. She helped me through so much in my life. Words cannot describe how deeply she will be missed. My heart and condolences/sympathy go out to the family. She will continue to live on through her children. Rest in peace, August, and we will see you again one day.

Whhat a sad time for all of you.........I can only imagine the pain you are going through. I am so deeply sorry for this. I had dealt with August in real estate and I loved her so much. She was truly a wonderful human and we have all lost a treasure here on earth. May you have peace knowing she is in heaven and my prayers will always be with you.


Posted by: M. Jo Bowen, September 29, 2009

My prayers are with you all in your time of loss and may God comfort you all, I went to College with August, we were in the same paralegal classes, and she would always have a smile on her face and she would make all of our cakes and dress up for fall festival to paint on all the little children's faces, and she would bring Brady to school sometimes and when she was pregnant with Meadows we gave her a baby shower, she always lit up a room and was a great friend and mother and will always live in my heart and will be missed RIP August.

My thoughts and prayers are with August's family, Duane, and friends. I have known her and her family for years, and I cherished her dearly. Although we never told each other, I know we meant a lot to each other. I will cherish all the memories I have of her such as riding bikes, being at her mamaw's house, going to church, sooo many. August, Beth and I were the 3 amigos. She touched everyone who ever came in contact with her. She loved each and everyone of her family and she lived for her two children. If you should need anything please let me know. RIP my beautiful friend and you will never be forgotten.
