My Auntie Pamela was beautiful. My Auntie Pamela helped thousands of men, women, and children in four decades. My Auntie Pamela was Portuguese and Italian (but she might as well have been a Greek like us ?). My Auntie Pamela could kick everybody's butts at Scrabble. My Auntie Pamela was a proud mother of three with a gaggle of grandchildren. My Auntie Pamela liked butterflies. My Auntie Pamela always had me over to swim. My Auntie Pamela had a cat named "Chicken". My Auntie Pamela made us Christmas breakfast every year.

My Auntie Pamela went home to God on December 10, 2008.

I miss her madly, but only a little. For she hasn’t really left us.

Dear Jim and family-
I worked with Pam for many years at DSS and always loved to stop by her desk for a talk. She was always so proud of her family and loved you all so much. Although it has been several years since I saw her last I remember her smile like it was yesterday. I know there are no words that can ease your sorrow but please know that she touched many lives and she will be remembered fondly.

To Jim, Eric, Krista and Jason, We cannot express enough how we feel about Pam and your family at this time but we would like to relate a story. Many years ago as we sat by the pool, Tiana, at 3 years old stood on the diving board bouncing, of course she could not swim a stroke at the time. Pam sat in her chair and laughed and laughed and expressed that "this one would give us a run for our money" Pam was right, but all we learned from Pam and Jim about raising kids paid off, Tiana and Max have done well and for this we will always be grateful. Our love and prayers are with you as always.
Tommy, Debbie, Max and Tiana
