Pam was always there with a smile and a hug. Her care was felt whenever I was near her. I wish I could've helped her the way she always encouraged me...thank you, Pam. I will always remember you and be grateful for having known you. Whatever our conversation was, it was always so very clear that her family meant the world to her. We are all so lucky to have known such a beautiful lady:) With deepest sympathy.
