Jude, You need to wear those earrings whenever you want to feel Pam close to you. It is a beautiful remembrance of her and she is well worth remembering. She obviously thought a lot of you and would want you to wear them for her. I was just starting to get to know her the last few weeks. I feel I have been robbed of something special.

It sounds like she may have been having a heart attack. My prayers go out to Pam's family.

IT IS FOR REAL This message goes out to Todd and all of my dearest TM friends. On Saturday afternoon, our dear Pam Montz passed away in the hospital. She had been complaining to me about her shoulder and arm pain for over a week. I believe it was her left arm, but I am not sure. I don't even know what to write. I have no details at this time. Linda Cherpenski is calling Dan to see what is going on and will let us know either by phone or email. One of us will get back to you. Pam and I were extremely close. She called me every single day just to check on me and chat. We exchanged friendship gifts, matching earrings, which I will never wear again or I will put them on and never take them off. Which one should I do??? I want to take this time to tell you that each and every one of you is dear to me. Your names, pictures and emails are etched onto my heart and I will carry them with me forever. Pam is in the wings of the Angels, on her way to the Promised Land in the world of Jesus Christ. I know that she is Catholic. I would like to begin a fund for TM research in her name. Where do I begin??? How much can we raise in her name??? I hope that you will all be as generous as possible. I will begin the donation with $300.00. Who will either match me, do me better, or simply send what you can??? When you make your donation make it out to: The Pamela Montz Foundation for Transverse Myelitis Research and I will discuss with Jim Lubin about the best way to handle the donations. One of us will get back to the List. As "Tiny Tim" once said, "God Bless Us Everyone" Love, Jude In a message dated 6/7/2009 3:42:28 P.M.

I had made the third layoffs of my company, leaving me to be the last accountant clerk for two companies. I had two wonderful bosses and worked 15 mins from home. TM hit me a few weeks before my 38th birthday. After 3 years with TM and it didn't look like I would be returning back to work any time soon. We had been going to Corpus Christi, Texas once a month to see friends and with the gas prices, we decided to retired in CC, TX. Would like to return to work, but how to & keep up the PT at the same time? I too, live on Social Security disability and Long Term disability. Hope everyone is doing what makes them happy right now, Todd in CC, TX TM @ T-4 to T-8 on April 1, 2002 --- On Fri, 6/5/09, Janice <jan...@centurytel.net> wrote: From: Janice <jan...@centurytel.net> Subject: [TMIC] Occupations To: "transverse myelitis" <tmic-list@eskimo.com> Date: Friday, June 5, 2009, 11:22 AM Hi Guys! I have been curious about something for a while and since things have kind of slowed down, want to ask you all what you did before TM hit and if you were able to go back to it or if you are doing something new. I am including even those who just read these emails and don't usually respond. I would like to hear from everybody and would think all of us would be interested. I will start: I was a school nurse's secretary/assistant in a large high school for 19 years. I absolutely loved it - everyday was different, as you can imagine working with high schoolers! Our school nurse was gone a lot to other schools we were responsible for, so I was left alone quite a bit and handled many different situations. I was well trained for this and it was great.
