Of my many years with Goodman & Company, I never been associated with anyone for whom I had more respect than Pam. She showed tremendous courage and determination in dealing with her illness. She was a brilliant CPA who had an amazing knowledge of the Tax Code. Pam loved to tackle complex tax issues and had a rare talent for being able to dissect those problems and arriving at practical solutions that benfitted our clients. Pam was a very caring and generous person and she will be greatly missed at Goodman & Company
