Well Pam, it’s been another year without you and the world is crazy at this time. We would be discussing it all.
You’re in my memories, like 911NEVER FORGETand that’s just how I feel about you. You were one of my closest and I will always miss you.

So many days of missing you, still seems unreal. Even through the whirlwind of life that can separate friends, life was kind enough to reunite us. We returned to that same moment as if time in-between never happened. Life threw 2 more curveballs our way, missing my Goddaughters wedding still tears me apart and the inability to say goodbye to my soul friend - but it's never truly goodbye, is it.

I know Nikki must have a wonderful family by now that he enjoysand you’re looking over all of them. Miss you, truly JUST the Other day you were in my mind, maybe because your Birthday is indeed coming right up.
Thanks for being a Bestie Pam.

Mike ,Nicole and family, we are so sorry. Pam and I go all the way back to when we were kids. Our families camped together. Mostly at Howes Camping, in Vermont. Pam and I had such a great time growing up.We carried our friendship all thru high school (CCHS). Pam was such a caring, loving,positive person. Just her smile and laughter would bring a smile to anyone's face. Our prayers have been with all of you and will continue to be there. God truly has a special Angel and she will be watching over all of you. God Bless You

Dear Mike and Nicole:
We are so sorry to learn of Pam's passing. We are down here in North Carolina for the winter visiting our son Don and our two grandsons or else we would have offered our condolences in person. We knew Pam when she was a very liittle girl as we were good friends with her Dad and Mom for over fifty years. She grew into a warm and loving person and we have fond memories of knowing her. God certainly has gained a very special angel who is reunited with her Mom, Dad and brother Tom. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all in this very difficult time.
