My heart & prayers go out to Pam's family. It has been hard to learn she left us so soon. I will miss her so much. She was such a beautiful person inside & out. She was such a dear friend to my family. My daughters knew her as Aunt Pammie. We always felt so warm in her presence, loved her laughter, hugs & especially her coffee. She always made the best cup. She was always there to listen & offer advice which always made you feel better. I'm so thankful for the opportunity to have worked with her and have her in my life as a very special frIend. I will never forget her.

To Pam’s Mom, Dad, Cathy, Rod, Mike, & Dan: I am so incredibly saddened by the news of Pam’s passing. Given how sad I am, I can’t imagine the pain that all of you are feeling. We all know that Pam was such a special person—caring, loving, empathic, thoughtful, compassionate, giving—it is hard to picture her not in our physical lives anymore. Pam & I have been buddies for over 30 years. We shared many, many special times together. I truly cherish our friendship and will never, ever forget her and the joy she has brought to my life. My condolences, thoughts and prayers go out to all of her family and friends, especially Cheryl & Pete. With much love,

I hold many wonderful memories of Pam in our youth.
We shared many memories of school and soon after. My leaving Maine in early 1983 left
us out of touch except an update from her brother, Rodney, from time to time. I am sorry she was taken from this life so very soon. I send my prayers to the family. May she rest eternally now.

The light of friendship defies age, ignores distance, appreciates differences, embraces likes and dislikes, weathers the hard times and shares the good. Together we found this. Our friendship provided acceptance and understanding in a world that tends to push people apart. The memories of the brief time we shared together with Pete, Butchy cat, Monty and Zoe, will always remain. How fortunate I was to be able to call you my friend, Pam! May you rest in peace, sweetest of friends. My sincerest prayers and condolences to your family and friends (especially Pete). You are loved and will always be remembered fondly for your loving, compassionate and generous nature. See you on the other side...

I am very sorry to hear of Pam's passing. My memories of her were mostly from high school and of a person always happy, kind and generous. She was truly a gem. We reconnected about five years ago before our 30th reunion and I was delighted that she had not changed one bit, and it was like we had remained friends during those 30 years post Hall-Dale. She was unique and rare, and I am sure she will be missed by many. My condolences to her family and many friends who knew and loved her.
