My prayers go out to the Schroeder-Newman family. They lost a beautiful soul. Pam you were loved by many and I know their going to miss you dearly. I want to say thank you for your son Charles because without him I wouldn’t have my 3 wonderful kids Donnie, Jennifer and Kimberly. I wanted you to meet my amazing grandkids in July but god needed you sooner. You were welcomed into the gates of heaven by your husband Alfred. I was honored to call you my mother in law ♥ï¸

My mommy was the best mommy a girl could ask for. She was loving and caring. She raised 5 of her 7 children as a single parent. She worked hard to give us a roof over our heads. She wasn’t only loving a caring to us, she was that way with everyone she met. I’m sending you hugs mommy. I love your forever and always.
