Pam - we love you and we miss you. We will always be greatful for your gift of friendship to us, and for the many many meals we shared together (and coffee.. and wine.. and apple martinis : ) You may be gone now, but you will never ever be forgotten - not just a saying, but the truth. The legacy you have left behind with your friends and family will continue to be passed on from generation to generation.

With much love,

Kristin and Patty

Pam was such a wonderful person, she was smart, funny, demanding and knew what she wanted and how to get it. She was the reason I got involved in lgbt causes on the international level....she was a mentor and friend. I love her for all she has done and the memories she has given us.

Pam, my very own "red" was one of my closest friends and soul mates. We traveled to 4 continents together, shared good wine and good laughs. No one will ever take her place in my life or heart. I am glad I was there up to the end. I promise to put up the sign "Pam O'Brien Guest Suite" over my 2nd bedroom as you asked me to. I will miss her very much.......XOXOX Alan

Pam was the daughter of my mother's best friend. While growing up, I looked at Pam as a "big" sister" who often visited our home and occaisionally stay with us.

I will always remember how she had a smile that could light up a room and her enthusiasm for life.

May she rest in peace....
