Just the night before the accident, Malcolm had called her, excitedly describing the beauty of the ocean and the peace he felt surrounded by loved ones. That call, filled with love and gratitude, would be their final conversation.

At the funeral, Pamela chose to honor Malcolm’s memory with dignity and grace. She reflected on their journey together, from raising him as a single mother in New Jersey to watching him grow into a thoughtful, creative, and loving man.

“There would be no me without her,” Malcolm once said about his mother, crediting her as his guiding light throughout his life and career.

Pamela’s tribute was read aloud in the chapel, leaving the room in silence as her words resonated deeply. “My Malcolm, from the moment I first held you, I knew the world had changed. You were light. You were music.

You swam too far this time, my love, and I wasn’t there to pull you back. But I know wherever you are now, you are at peace. Thank you for being my son. Thank you for choosing me.” Guests wept openly as her heartfelt message captured the essence of their relationship and the profound love they shared.
