My condolences goes out to Pam's family and her son Ashton. Although she's no longer with us in body, she will always remain in our hearts. This is a time to celebrate her life. I am thankful the lord gave me the opportunity to meet such a genuine, caring, funny, and determined person. Pam you are certainly admired and no secret you are my hero. I truly feel blessed to say Pam was one of my good friends. I met her when I came down here from NY about 8 yrs ago. I will truly miss you. I love you!

May our GOD of peace and love bring you comfort in your time of sorrow. We may not understand why GOD decided to take her at such a young age but just remember that GOD doesn't make any mistakes. Take comfort in his word. He promised never to leave you nor forsake you.

My Deepest Sympathy to the Long family and Ashton.
I had the pleasure of meeting Pam when I worked for the Department of Public Utilities. God brings people into your life for a season and a reason. I admired Pam strength and determination during her illness. Through Pam I was taught that nothing is impossible to achieve or attain as long as you have the love of the Heavenly Father in your life. She truly showed me what being a Christian is all about.
Remember: Pam is only a prayer away.

I am sorry to hear of the loss of your mother and your daughter, Pamela Long. I enjoyed her every day while she was employed with the Depatment of Public Utilities. She had me laughing every day with a customer or something she had done. She was very positive in everything that she said. Her wish was to see Ashton graduate from high school. I am glad God sent her Ashton to keep her strong and to make her a great mom in such a short period of time. Keep her memories with you. May God keep each of you in His loving arms to heal the hurt and the pain that will subdue only with His love and trust. God bless you.

Mr. & Mrs. Long ,
No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.
We all know that Pam fought her fight to the very end .. she amazed me how she lived each day to the fullest in spite of her illness. Even when she really didn't feel like doing some of the things that she did she ALWAYS made sure that Ashton was well taken care of and had the happiest childhood that ANY child could ever wish for .
Pam will be missed so much .
