To the family of this beautiful young lady. I would like to extend my condolences to her Children, your twin sister, and extended family and church friends. It is my prayer that God will touch each of you in a mighty way and move your grief, heart brokenness, and pain to healing and beautiful laughter of all the years previously shared with one another. I had the privilege of meeting this young lady approximately two years ago through a mutual friend. Her conversation was meaningful, delightful, and she was fully engaged. I thank God for the opportunity for this one-time experience with her and her sister for this chance encounter. From Labor to reward is how I will view her life because she cared for so many. Blessing and May God continue to strengthen each of you.

I will certainly miss Tamela and I know our church family will as well. She brought kind & positive energy into every space that she entered. Tamela had a refreshing & delightful spirit and was sincerely supportive to all of us in our various ventures, hobbies, pursuits and careers. Though she leaves a void that will take time to process, she also leaves us with so many wonderful memories that are filled with joy, laughter, enlightenment and love. May God bless her beautiful spirit.

Words can never fill the void of the hurt you're feeling during this untimely loss. We will continue to lift your family up in prayer as you navigate through this time of loss and healing. We love you, Pam. Condolences to you and your family.

My heart breaks for Pamela and the entire Selmar family. I have known the twins since we were little girls. We met in elementary school at Loveless. Tam and her sweet spirit will forever be missed.

Tara Simmons-Gulck

It is with a heavy heart that I write this message to you (Tam). Our first meeting at GWP seems like just yesterday, and from that moment, we instantly hit it off. We became more than friends; we became family. My Madear often referred to you as her other daughter, a testament to the deep bond we shared.

It is not natural to say farewell so soon. Yet, I find solace in the thought that you are safe in His arms, resting in a pillow of clouds. Your presence will be missed dearly, and you will forever remain in our hearts.

With deepest sympathy to the Family of Tamela (Tam) Selmar-Burks Family,

The Abner Family, (Shederick, Valarie, Torquoria, Jasmine, Kyleigh & Jace)
